## Resource

Sunday 1st March – Chris Collison preaches from Genesis 31:1-55. This sermon explores Jacob’s time working for his devious uncle Laban. Despite Laban's cheating and Jacob’s superstitious breeding tactics, God’s invisible hand brought prosperity. Chris encourages believers to always acknowledge God’s sovereign grace rather than relying on personal self-sufficiency.
