Robbing A Blessing Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 28, 2009

Jacob finds out the hard way that sin has built-in consequences.

Deception carries some built-in consequences. One beautiful Sunday morning a deacon decided to skip church and play a round of golf. The fifth hole was the most challenging of the entire course, but nonetheless the deacon, to his delight, made a hole-in-one. An angel observing this turned to God ...read more

Identity Theft

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 11, 2004

Identity: is the distinguishing character or personality of an individual. Identity theft is a criminal offense. It occurs when a person knowingly transfers or uses, without lawful authority. Spiritual identity theft is when the devil steals from you.

Identity Theft By Elder Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Gen. 27 1-5 & 34-38 John 10:10 No doubt we have all seen what I call some of the best commercials on T.V.

Jacob-He Lost More Than He Gained Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 3, 2022

Rebekah, mother of Esau and Jacob, wanted Jacob to have the paternal blessing which Isaac was going to bestow on Esau. She developed a plan for Jacob to get it--and they went through with it. Results? Bad!

Introduction: Jacob had already purchased Esau’s birthright (some might say, swindled Esau out of it) some years before this event took place. Now, with his mother Rebekah’s help, he was about to swindle his father, Isaac, out of Esau’s blessing. Jacob got the blessing, but he lost more than ever ...read more

Heroes Of The Bible: Jacob Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Feb 17, 2022

Isaac asked his son Esau to prepare a special dinner. Several things happened, though, that changed the family dynamic forever.

Rebekah A Marvelous Mate And Mother Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

In almost every Mother's Day sermon I have ever preached one of the qualities that most stands out in the great mothers of the Bible is that they were first of all loving and loyal wives.

Jacob's Deception Of Isaac Series

Jacob's deception of Isaac in Genesis 27:1-45 teaches us God's sovereign, redemptive will is always done, in spite of any person's opposition to it.

Scripture Last week we began a series of sermons on "Isaac's Descendants." In our first lesson we saw that Isaac and Rebekah had twin sons, Esau and Jacob.

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 4, 2023

Jacob will have to leave his family and himself get cheated in a foreign land before he will be fit to return home.

Saturday of the 13th Week in Course 2023 Back about sixty years ago, when I was growing up, there was a TV ad for some political candidate that had the opponent’s picture on the screen, interpreted by a loud voice-over yelling “LIE, CHEAT, STEAL.” The approach was hokey and original for our ...read more

Disobey Your Mother

Contributed by Troy Borst on May 4, 2022

In case you have not figured it out, my message today is not actually: Disobey Your Mother. Not completely anyway. I would like to leave you with a principle from this passage that I believe is a needed word for our day: Be careful to whom you listen and to whom you obey.

Jacob: Manipulating A Birthright Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 5, 2022

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

Say Yes To The Goat Skins Series

Contributed by Troy Luttrell on Oct 6, 2014
