The Black Sheep

The Black Sheep

It’s time to look at the life and legacy of Jacob’s estranged brother, Esau. He is certainly much more than a footnote in the book of Genesis. His impact has long been felt among the Middle East and helped shape the future, both good and bad, of the nation of Israel.

Today, as we conclude our “Coming Home” sermon series in Genesis, the difficulties of life and the inevitable for all of us: death. But he also begins to reap in his own family and offspring what his past sexual sin has sown.

Today, as we continue our “Coming Home” sermon series in Genesis, we finally see Jacob fully obey God’s call for him to return to his ancestral home and to worship Jehovah God as his father, Isaac, and grandfather, Abraham, had.

Today, as we continue our “Coming Home” sermon series in Genesis, we are confronted with perhaps the ugliest, most painful, most sinful episode in all of Jacob’s life (and, by the extension, his family). And the lessons for us in our current culture are obvious and equally painful.

Today, we begin a new sermon series, “Coming Home,” as we follow Jacob back to the Promised Land. He has obviously added four wives and thirteen children to his camp as he heads back to Canaan, but getting free of Haran (and his past) is not as easy as he had hoped.

Jacob’s Flight

Finally, Jacob begins to heed God’s call to return Canaan, but not before he has one final showdown with his angry uncle

Jacob’s Prosperity

Jacob’s Prosperity

As we move further in Genesis 30, we realize that God is still blessing an unworthy Jacob, the inheritor of Abraham’s covenant, even as Jacob continues to struggle with Laban, his greedy, deceptive uncle.
