Maids and Mandrakes | Genesis 30:1–24


Genesis 30 reads more like a warning label than a romance. Jealousy, rivalry, superstition, and family dysfunction collide as Jacob’s household spirals into chaos. And yet—astonishingly—God is still at work.


In this message, Maids and Mandrakes, we walk through one of the most uncomfortable chapters in Genesis to uncover timeless truth: God’s design for the family, humanity’s disastrous departure from that design, and the unchanging variable of grace. Though the family is fractured, God remains faithful—quietly building His promise, preparing redemption, and proving that He can draw a straight line with crooked sticks.


If your family story feels messy, this passage offers both a warning and a hope: God’s grace goes deeper than generational sin, and He is still writing redemption through broken people.
