Sunday 19th October 2025 // Evening // Genesis 30:25–43 // The God Who Prospers His People

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches Genesis 30:25–43 at evening worship on Sunday 19th October 2025 in First Ards.
Jacob’s story reminds us that God’s providence doesn’t switch off in the workplace or the grind of daily life. While Jacob labours under Laban’s schemes, God quietly turns the odds in his favour, not through trickery or luck but through mercy and faithfulness. The striped sticks and spotted sheep aren’t magic, they’re a backdrop for a far greater truth, that the Lord keeps His promises. Even when the system’s rigged and the deck’s stacked, God’s hand is steady. The same God who prospered Jacob still watches over His people today.
