In this 9-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef leads you through the life of Jacob to show how fear deceives, but the sovereign grace of God frees, restores, and overrules. From Jacob’s scheming and family strife to his Bethel encounter, surrender, restitution, and final struggle against unbelief, the inerrant Word of God reveals that the Almighty is never defeated by human failure. His covenant promise stands firm, pointing to Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God and the only Savior. This series calls believers to repent of self-rule, reject fear and false guilt, intercede with faith, and trust God’s perfect timing. Even through weakness, scars, and spiritual warfare, God brings His will to pass for His glory.

In this message, Dr. Michael Youssef declares the unchanging Truth of Scripture: “God is not mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Jacob, the deceiver, is deceived by Laban, and the scars of his past sin follow him into Haran. Yet God’s forgiveness is not canceled by painful consequences. Through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, repentant sinners are cleansed, forgiven, and freed to sow righteousness. This message calls believers to stop living under false guilt, trust God’s overruling grace, and keep praying, giving, obeying, and interceding. Fear deceives, but grace frees God’s people to bear fruit for His glory.
