Sermon Series: Welcome to God's House

Sermon: Part 1: God's House is Open

Summary: For many people heaven seems closed and God feels remote and distant.  In this series we find that God welcomes us into his house.  In Part 1, we take a glimpse into the life of Jacob, and find that he too felt that heaven was closed.  But God provides a dream that demonstrates that heaven is open and God is active and involved in the affairs of humankind.  But to Jacob's surprise, and ours, we discover that the gateway of heaven reveals that we don't climb up to God through religion, but God comes down to us in the message of the gospel.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 28:10-17
