“No matter who you are or what you've done, if God used Jacob, He just might use you too”
In this episode of 'Addiction', Dr. Toby B. Holt takes a deep dive into the lives of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These men, central to the Old Testament, were far from perfect. They lied, cheated, and made significant mistakes. Yet, God continually referred to Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Why? Because it wasn’t about their faithfulness; it was about His. Dr.
Holt explores how God's grace and providence were crucial for these patriarchs and draws parallels to our own lives today. You'll hear about Abraham's deceit to protect himself, Isaac's long wait for children, and Jacob's scheming ways. Despite their flaws, God used them to fulfil His promises. This episode is a reminder that no matter how much we mess up, God's grace is always there for us. Dr.
Holt’s sermon is both convicting and encouraging, showing that if God can use flawed individuals like the patriarchs, He can certainly work through us too. Tune in for an inspiring message that blends biblical history with practical life lessons.
