In the World, Not of It

In the World, Not of It | Genesis 34

How do we live in the world without becoming like it? In this sermon on Genesis 34, we explore the stark difference between revenge and justice, the dangers of passivity, and the call for God’s people to be set apart.

• Revenge vs. Justice – The sons of Jacob sought revenge, but their actions were disproportionate and unjust. What does the Bible say about true justice, and how should we respond to wrongdoing?
• The Danger of Passive Leadership – Jacob’s failure to protect his daughter Dinah led to devastating consequences. What can we learn about the responsibility of fathers and godly leadership?
• Living in the World Without Becoming Like It – Jacob’s compromise in settling in Shechem instead of Bethel had serious repercussions. Are we compromising in our walk with God?

Join us as we unpack these powerful lessons and discover how God's mercy and justice guide us to live faithfully in a fallen world.
