Behind the Series: "Flawed but Blessed"

What can we learn from a deceptive man with a dysfunctional family? A lot.

Pastor Mike and Dr. Bruce Becker give us a sneak peek at this month's TV message series, "Flawed but Blessed," which takes a look at how God was able to use Jacob despite his many flaws. Pastor Mike reveals the top three self-control issues that Christians face, warns about the two lies you've been told your whole life, and discusses whether karma plays a role in Jacob's story.

The guys also talk about the new book they cowrote, "Undeserved: How God's Grace Can Erase Your Failures," which further explores the life of Jacob. The book, with its engaging study questions and application sections, is designed to help us see how, with God, we can overcome our failures. Get the book starting Sunday, July 4, by visiting timeofgracestore.org.
