Genesis 31 --- Jacob and his family leave Laban and head back to their native land

Read Genesis 31

- v2 why had Laban’s attitude toward Jacob changed? Was it due to jealousy? Hatred? Fear?

- V14-16, does Rachel and Leah’s reasoning here seem to be based on pleasing God or gaining wealth?

- v19, despite everything that had been said in previous verses regarding God blessing Jacob with his success, status, and wealth…evidently Rachel still didn’t want to leave without her father’s household gods. What does this tell us about Rachel and her beliefs?...what does it tell us about Jacob?....what does it tell us about Laban?

- If a stranger were to take a look around your home, is there enough evidence for them to conclude that you were a Bible-Believing Christian, or would they conclude that your trust/faith, and priorities in life were in something/someone else?
