QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

EXHIBIT B: JACOB – NOT ESAU (vs 10-13)

How does God choose the people who will bring the Gospel to others? Is it anything we do or don’t do? (Isaiah 40:8)

Who was Jacob? Why was he chosen over Esau? (Genesis 25:23; Obadiah; Malachi 1:2-3) More on this next week!

POINTS FOR HOME

God is a promise keeper.

We should praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Gospel goodness: God has redeemed His people – and that means you!

EXTRA TOPIC QUESTION(s)

Are you Team Jacob or Team Esau? Were they born to be elected to historical roles as nations or to bring salvation – or both?

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

O Lord My God,

I have patiently waited for your answer to my petitions. Though you have not yet answered them all, Father, you have heard every prayer I have uttered.

Your direction does not often match the direction I would go, but I know that you are good. May I continue to be patient, waiting and following your direction.

You brought me up from the miry pit and set my feet on the solid rock – the rock of my salvation.

I will rejoice and be glad in all circumstances. I will tell others of the love Jesus has for me. I will tell of his wonderous works.

I will ask others if they know the Good News of the Gospel. And if not, Father, through the Holy Spirit, may I open my mouth and proclaim the truth that your son, Jesus Christ, died for their sins.

Help me sow good seeds today, Father, as I trust fully in you. And if you grant me tomorrow, let’s repeat.

All for the cause of Christ, in whose name I pray,

Amen.
