    Esau selling his birthright - Have we done the same thing?

    BIRTHRIGHT GENESIS 25:29-34 WELCOME INTRODUCTION 1. One of the saddest figures in the Bible is of a man named Esau a. He was the firstborn son of Isaac and Rebekah and the twin brother of Jacob.

    What can we learn of our own character and of God's grace when we study Esau selling his birthright?

    “These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac, and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she ...read more

    Esau Series

    The biblical Book of Genesis speaks of the relationship between fraternal twins Jacob and Esau, sons of Isaac and Rebecca. The story focuses on Esau's loss of his birthright to Jacob and the conflict between their descendant nations.

    Esau As firstborn, Esau is the natural heir and Isaac's successor. Description Esau is the elder son of Isaac in the Hebrew Bible. The Christian New Testament alludes to him in the Epistles to the Romans and the Hebrews; he is mentioned in the Book of Genesis and Obadiah and Malachi. Born: ...read more

    Genesis Chapter Twenty-Five Series

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty-Five. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Abraham dies and Esau and Jacob are born. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 25 Abraham takes Keturah to wife: the sons of Keturah. Isaac is confirmed in the inheritance of Abraham's property: Abraham dies. The ...read more

    Jacob: Manipulating A Birthright Series

     | 4,258 views

    Normally the birthright goes to the firstborn son. That would be Jacob’s brother Esau. Now we will look at how Jacob manipulated the birthright for the blessing. By custom Esau was to inherit the blessings of Abraham and Isaac. This fellow Jacob stole Esau’s birthright and blessing.

    Jacob: Manipulating a birthright Genesis 25:19-34 I think many of us will be able to relate to Jacob. He had faults and failings that are very common weaknesses we have. It’s not that we do not relate to the weakness of his father Isaac and his grandfather Abraham, but Jacobs selfish and ...read more

    The Birthright (2008)

     | 806 views

    When we make problems for ourselves where God had intended for us to make progress, we cannot usually reset our course. The Old Testament story about the Esau’s birthright that he surrendered to his brother Jacob is perhaps one of the best examples of this.

    THE BIRTHRIGHT Text: Hebrews 12:16 President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said, “Our problems are man made; therefore they may be solved by men. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” There is a lot ...read more

    JACOB AND ESAU. Genesis 25:19-34. 1. The two nations in Rebekah’s womb. GENESIS 25:19-20. As the genealogy passes from Abraham to Isaac we are told that Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah. GENESIS 25:21.

     | 61,829 views

    Believers have rich inheritance rights as children of God, but like Esau some have sold their birthrights. Please, Believer, don’t sell your birthright like Esau: don’t sell your priesthood; don’t sell God’s promises; and don’t sell your power over sin.

    Just a year ago (on September 16, 2009), an article in The Washington Post began with these words: “The king folds her own laundry, chauffeurs herself around Washington in a 1992 Honda, and answers her own phone. Her boss’s phone, too.” The article was about Peggielene Bartels, a secretary in the ...read more

    Right from the start we know that Isaac and Rebekah are going to be in for a bumpy ride because “the babies jostled with each other in her womb.”

    November 16, 2024 Last week we concluded the story of Abraham and Sarah with a bridge that included the genealogies of 2 of the 3 branches of his family: the children of Keturah and the children of Ishmael. Today we begin with the “account of Abraham’s son, Isaac.” Isaac was 40 years old when ...read more

    As we continue our series in the Book of Genesis, here we see Esau lose his birthright to Isaac.

    Blessings Lost Text: Genesis 27:1-29 By: Ken McKinley Now before we begin this morning, I want to remind you of chapter 25… it was in chapter 25 where we read about how Jacob stole Esau’s birthright.

    Don't sell your birthright, like Esau did. Don’t sell out on your priesthood. Don’t sell out on the promises of God, and don’t sell out on your power over sin. Instead, enjoy your inheritance rights as children of God, and live like the kings you are!

    Your Birthright (Hebrews 12:14-17) Just a few years ago (2012), Dakoda Garren, a 19-year-old from Washington state was charged with stealing a rare coin collection worth at least $100,000.

     | 24,802 views

    Isaac and Rebekah had favourite sons, but what about GOD! Does He have FAVOURITES? In Romans 9:13 (NASB) God says "JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED."

    Genesis 25:23-34 - DOES GOD HAVE FAVOURITES? From birth ESAU has thick red hair over his body. Esau means "Hairy". His twin brother JACOB has an unfortunate name too. It means "to defraud, deceive, to displace". His name carries the idea of displacing someone, to replace or unseat someone. As ...read more
