This week on Beyond the Pulpit we trace Jacob’s reunion with Esau to show why moving toward God means moving toward people. Scripture links worship, reconciliation, and everyday relationships, calling us to humility, restitution, and peace that shows up at home and at church.
• Jacob’s intentional detour to meet Esau
• returning to God expressed through restored relationships
• humility and restitution pictured in seven bows
• Jesus prioritising reconciliation over ritual at the altar
• peace with others as an act of worship
• marriage conduct affecting the power of prayer
• unity at communion prompting self-examination
• discernment on timing: pursue or give space
