THE BIRTH OF A SELF MADE MAN
Genesis 25:1

The record of Jacob’s life gives us insights into:
· the HISTORY of Israel.
· the NATURE of man.
· the WAYS of God.

  1. THE PROBLEM OF ISAAC AND REBEKAH.

  2. THE PROBLEMS IN THE HOME
    1. THE DELIVERY. vs. 24 – 26.
      “Esau” –
      “Jacob” –

    2. THE DECAYING, DYSFUNCTIONAL HOME.
      Gene Getz – “When parents favor one child over the other – particularly to meet personal needs for themselves – children quickly learn to take advantage of this kind of partiality. They discover how to manipulate each other as well as their parents.”
      Warren Wiersbe – “It’s unfortunate when homes are divided because parents and children put their own personal desires ahead of the will of God. Isaac enjoyed eating the tasty game that Esau brought home…Isaac, fulfilled his dreams in Esau, and apparently ignored the fact that his elder son was also a worldly man.”

THE PATH OF JACOB.
Genesis 47:9 –
“unpleasant” –

SUGGESTIONS:
