Sep 21 | Unloved Leah | Gen 29-30

  • Have you ever experienced unrequited love? Share about that experience. These can be extremely painful experiences, so only share a story you are comfortable with sharing.

  • Read Genesis 29:15-30. What happens in this story? Who is at fault here? Who is hurt by this three-way marriage?

  • Compare the events of this story with Jacob stealing Esau’s blessing in Genesis 27. Who is the master planner like Rebekah? Who is blind like Isaac? Who is the deceiver like Jacob? Who is the betrayed like Esau?

  • This is a tragic story of deception, dehumanization, and the consequences of human sin. What examples of these do you see in your own life, family, or work?

  • Read John 2:1-11. In this story, we see how Jesus acts when he goes to a wedding. How is he different than the characters of Jacob’s wedding?

  • Take a minute to think of one person you are failing to love today. What is one thing you can do to show them the love of Christ this week?
