Welcome to Women at Worship, this is the sixth message of the podcast series titled ‘Women at the Time of the Bible’ by author Chantal R, Nielsen. This message explores the life of Rachel, the beloved wife of Jacob and mother to Joseph and Benjamin, as detailed in the book of Genesis.
Throughout this message we highlight the difference between jealousy and envy with regards to the relationship between Rachel and her sister Leah. We also discuss the effect that years of bareness had on Rachel and the measures she took to try and correct the problem before trusting in God to fulfill His promise of a son for her.
