Notes from Church:
Genesis 25:25-34
Sons of Isaac simply grew..
Leaving unfinished business will bitter.
Hebrews 11:9 12:15-17
Esau *Growth. *Parents. *Nature
Deuteronomy 29:18-20 – Turning away. Don’t walk in the imagination of your heart. God takes failing His grace seriously.
Fornication and being a profane person are choices that cannot be taken back. (Profane- soiled)
Esau was the kid who every parent would want/He was hunter.
A worldly-godless person. He lived outside of God’s provision.
WATCH OUT!! Parent against Parent. Jesus Paid it all. God can fix things that are broken.
- Esau failed God’s grace concerning his future. (Gen 25:29-34) – Jacob is pity-less. Esau sacrificed his future on the alter on the immediate. He failed to see the seriousness of his decision. It was a sport to him to sell his birthright. He failed to listen to his conscience. He had no care for spiritual things.
- Esau failed God’s grace concerning his friends. (Gen 26:34-35) Choose friends wisely. Your friends determine most things. Hebrews 12:12-15 Examine each other and yourself. By the grace of God, friends can be the greatest help to your life and outside His grace they can be the most detrimental influence.
- Esau failed God’s grace concerning his Family (Gen 27:1-40) *Isaac and Esau’s scheme (1-5.) *Rebekah’s counter-scheme (6-17.) *The bitter fruit exposed (18-40.) NO ONE WON.
- Esau failed God’s grace concerning his Forgiveness. (Gen 41-46)
Esau had the opportunity to completly uproot all the bitterness. He could’ve acknowladged God’s will. He could’ve subjected himself to his brother and honored God, but he chose to live in his bitterness.
Genesis 33:1-4
Esau came to terms with God. He made it right!
God forgives… why can’t you?
Let God have his way.
