Valentine's Day Special with Jonathan Stoyko

We are diving into the Moms of the Bible series a week early this month with a look at Rahab. She's often thought of as the woman who saved the spies, not as a mom. But she was both. Her act of loyal love towards the spies not only helped the Israelite people enter the promised land, but paved the way for her descendants to enter into the loyal love of God through his son Jesus Christ.

Leah and Rachel, wives of Jacob, both struggled to place God on the throne of their hearts. Leah desired her husband's love above all. Rachel desperately wanted to have children. Both of their pursuits consumed them and wreaked havoc on their homelife. There is a better way!

Their story can be found in Genesis 29-31.

Many of us have heard that God's kindness leads us to repentance, but have you read the whole verse before? The first part speaks of God's kindness, and also his tolerance and patience. Kindness can lead to repentance, but God knows that sometimes that takes time. The same is true with our children. If we are kind only so we can see immediate results, we will quickly become frustrated and lose our kindess altogether. God calls us to be kind always, meaning we must be patient as well. 

Verses referenced:

Romans 1&2, with focus on 2:4

Galatians 5:22-23
