From a Pillow to a Pillar

From a Pillow to a Pillar | Genesis 28:16-22
Jacob went to sleep with a stone for a pillow and woke up in the presence of God. What happened next changed his life forever. The stone that once represented comfort became a pillar of commitment and remembrance.
In this message, we examine four ways God's presence changed Jacob:
• He was awakened in God's presence
• He became aware of God's presence
• He was afraid in God's presence
• He acted upon God's presence
Many Christians are content to dream about spiritual things while missing the reality of walking closely with God. God's presence can awaken, transform, and consecrate a life for his glory.
