Teaching Jacob dreams of a stairway to heaven

God is with you wherever you go - even when you're alone, even when you've messed up, even in the middle of nowhere.

  • Jacob felt alone and afraid, but God was right there. When have you felt alone? God was with you too.
  • Jacob said, "God was in this place and I didn't even know it!" Where might God be near you that you haven't noticed?
  • God promised to be with Jacob even though Jacob had done wrong. How does it feel that God stays with us even when we mess up?
