“I realize how frail the flesh can be, how strong temptation can be. The fact that God would not only forgive me, but choose to use me is a daily reminder of His grace.” Today’s special guest is Max Lucado. Max is a pastor, teacher and America’s best-selling inspirational author. He is here to talk about God’s grace, mercy and relentless love through the story of Jacob in the Bible. There is hope, even for us who have a bit of a tilted halo.

SCRIPTURES
“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger.” Genesis 25:23 NIV
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her. Genesis 29:20 ESV
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Galatians 6:7-8 ESV
You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:1 NIV
