The Story of Jacob: An 8-Week Bible Study (Meet Me in the Bible)
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
Inductive Bible Study Helps Readers Understand the Story of Jacob
A patriarch of the Christian faith, Jacob paints a picture of God’s people who waver between trusting God and taking matters into their own hands. Jacob’s story is one of deception, family conflict, faithfulness, and blessing, and marks the beginning of the nation called Israel. It serves as a reminder that despite our hasty plans and utter failures, the God of Jacob is faithful to his people and his promises.
This addition to the Meet Me in the Bible series presents a practical 5-step framework for examining the story of Jacob. Ideal for personal use and groups at any level, this inductive study helps readers observe and interpret Scripture and apply it to everyday life. Each chapter explores a section of the biblical text, helping us understand the nature of God and his pursuit of our wandering hearts.

I was greeted by the bright smile of Colleen Searcy over thirty years ago when I walked into a youth group in West Texas as a freckle-faced, curly headed, unbelieving teenager. Over the last three decades, I have watched Colleen cling to God’s word, teach God’s word, sing God’s word, and live God’s word. If you are looking to meet God in the Scriptures, I can think of no better guide than my friend Colleen. She will help you taste and see that the Lord is good!

Colleen Searcy is one of my favorite Bible teachers. You will sense her open-armed ministry within the framework of her Meet Me in the Bible series, in which she’s thoughtfully prepared a table for women to feast on God’s word. Whether you are an individual hungry to know God more, a small group desiring an accessible way to study together, or a women’s ministry leader looking for a foundational resource for your teaching team, the Meet Me in the Bible series is a trustworthy guide.
