Chad is back for a second year at Ocean Grove Camp. He is the featured Bible hour speaker for the week of August 1 - 6. He'll be unpacking the topic of Limping with God: Jacob and the Old Testament Guide to Messy Discipleship:
Jacob was a backstabbing brother, dad of a dysfunctional family, and would certainly never have won Husband of the Year (to any of his four [!] wives). Yet, this was the man beloved of God, chosen to be the father of the Old Testament community of believers, and a follower of the Lord. This sinner-saint may not seem like the model disciple, but his failures and foibles are a mirror of our own lives. Like Jacob, we limp with God, upheld by his mercy.
