Genesis 32:3-5 MSG

Then Jacob sent messengers on ahead to his brother Esau in the land of Seir in Edom. He instructed them: “Tell my master Esau this, ‘A message from your servant Jacob: I’ve been staying with Laban and couldn’t get away until now. I’ve acquired cattle and donkeys and sheep; also men and women servants. I’m telling you all this, my master, hoping for your approval.’”

Starting With God 1 - Encounter

7 Days

This 7‑day plan invites you to stop trying to fit God into your picture and instead let Him become the Cornerstone. Each day explores a moment when people encountered the living, holy God — the God who wrestles, speaks, confronts idols, redirects our choices, and meets us in life’s dead ends. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, this plan helps you begin again, not with yourself, but with Him. If you’re ready for a faith shaped by encounter and revelation rather than preference, start here. Start with God.
