Isaac--Fool Me Once, Shame On Me!

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 16, 2021

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

Introduction: At the time of this incident, Isaac was considered an old man, and he was afraid he was going to die soon. He asked Esau, his oldest son, to prepare him some food from game Esau would hunt in the fields. The rest of this story is a classic of deceit, in that a family was torn apart ...read more

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.

Heroes Of The Bible: Jacob Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Feb 17, 2022

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

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.

DISOBEY YOUR MOTHER GENESIS 27:1-45 #mothersday2022 INTRODUCTION Today is Mother’s Day which is a Sunday where ever since 1907 folks gather and focus on the importance and impact of mothers.

Paul’s command was to greet one another with a holy kiss. We are going to look at that and try to discover what the holy kiss means. Underlying it all is love and support. Christians must be closely connected.

Sermon # 33 - God's Unchanging Laws Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 31, 2023

We are indeed saved by grace, but does that mean that the laws of God given in the Old Testament are no longer applicable to us? God’s word gives us clarity, and helps us to understand how God’s grace and God’s laws apply to us today.

In Romans 3:31, Paul writes, “Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.” (GNB) There is a lot of teaching on the grace of God and faith that we must place in Him. Grace and faith are fundamental for our walk with God, but it is important ...read more

Genesis Chapter Twenty-Seven Series

Contributed by Tom Shepard on Oct 3, 2023

These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty-Seven. 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.

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

How many enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles? Normally, we turn all of the pieces face-up; set aside those that have a straight edge (the outside frame) and start assembling those first. Then we begin to assemble the rest of the pieces, looking for pieces that more obviously fit in a section, and work on ...read more

Isaac was a man of faith, peace, and obedience. He experienced God’s blessings and was part of the covenant lineage. However, his mistakes in parenting show us the dangers of favouritism and spiritual blindness.
