Podcasts about Esau

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 18th of July, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the book of Genesis 25:31: “But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.” Then we go to the New Testament, Mark 8:36: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” Today we really need to take an account of our lifestyle. Esau had been out hunting and had obviously caught nothing the whole day. So he came in and was extremely hungry. He said to his brother Jacob, “Give me something to eat...”, a plate of lentil soup, that's all it was, “and I will give you my birthright. Don't ever do that. Today, maybe I am speaking to a young girl and she has fallen pregnant and she is not married and she thinks that she will get an abortion. Please do not do that. That is murder. Don't do it! We are talking today about the “spur of the moment”. I have been to maximum security prisons and I have stood next to men who are weeping, dignified men who have made a decision to steal money from their company. It is called fraud. They have been caught and they really intended to pay it back and they are now serving a stiff sentence. Don't do it!There is a man maybe listening to this programme who is having an affair. That woman is not your wife. She belongs to somebody else. Don't do it - you will regret it! I want to say to you today that once he had eaten the plate of lentil soup and his stomach was full, then Esau realised what he had done. Yes, we are not going to talk about Jacob, we are talking about Esau today. It is so easy to fall into that trap of the devil because, yes, God can forgive you and He will if you truly repent, but remember, the consequences last forever.Today, we need to be determined and intentional that we are not going to allow the flesh to overtake the spirit. Most of these decisions that are made, are made in the flesh. It's a “spur of the moment” thing. Oh no, we'll get over it. No, she won't get over it and he won't get over it because it is wrong. We need to start asking ourselves a question today as we close - what would Jesus do? And then do exactly that, nothing more, nothing less. Then you will keep your inheritance and you will not lose your promise of eternal life. So today, say sorry to the Lord, put it right and move on with godly principles in mind.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Genesis 33 pt3 - Angry Esau by Ray Jensen

In this week's sermon, we begin a new series entitled "Tales as Old as Time." In this series, we'll look at Old Testament stories and see what we can learn from them. This week, we look at the story of Jacob and Esau. A well known story, Jacob and Esau are two brothers that tech us a lot of lessons surrounding the ideas of favoritism, rivalry, and short sightedness. We're glad that you made it to this sermon! We're also available on Youtube. For more information on our worship services or church as a whole, visit fbcwest.com

OBADIAH (SERVENT OF YAHWEHThere is at least twelve people name Obadiah in the Bible. Smiths Bible Dictionary The book itself does not include much information about Obadiah, nor the date and place of the book being written. The book of Obadiah is about Edom's judgment and Israel's restoration.In this morning's study I will begin to ‘Unravel the Words of Obadiah'. We will take a look at verses 1 thru 4. I will also read from 1 Kings 8 beginning with verse 16.Obadiah means “Servant of Yahweh”. As a servant of Yahweh our desire is to work for Him and also to be pleasing to Him. This is really where it begins for each of us. Yahweh is not going to teach us, illuminate Biblical texts for us, or give us insight if we are not interested in serving Him or doing His work. 1  Thus saith, &c. = The words of this prophecy, therefore, are not Obadiah's, but Yahweh's.the Lord GOD. = Hebrew Adonai Jehovah. concerning Edom. = This is a unique prophecy. The audience is not Israel, but it is a prophecy spoken to the nations. The Edomites are descended from Esau.a rumour = tidings. the LORD. = Hebrew. Yahweh. Supply the logical Ellipsis: "from Yahweh [that Edom is to be attacked]". And = or, and [already]. Ambassador = This prophet, like an apostle, was sent forth among the nations (the Gentiles) to proclaim a message to them – he was not sent solely to Israel, as was so often the case with these prophets.2  Behold = Figure of speech As-ter-is-mos. A calling of attention to a thing by making an asterisk. Calling attention to the words of Yahweh. This means we need to pay attention to what follows, as it is very important. Thee = Yahweh is now speaking to Edom. Small = This is a word for abbreviated or little - in this context it means insignificant. Despised = Contemptible. This is the same word used to describe how Esau thought of his birth right. He had contempt for it. He thought little of it. 3   The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee = The Edomites were proud of their wealth and riches, which they had by stealing when combined together; and of their military skill and courage, and of their friends and allies;Pride = zaw-done' From ‘zood' or ‘zeed'; arrogance. The Bible refers to two types of sin: Intentional sin and unintentional sin. Unintentional sin is sin that is done without intent (You did wrong, but you didn't have the intent to do wrong). It is done out of negligence or carelessness. It is still a sin, however, and it still needs to be dealt with – all sin has consequences. Intentional sin, on the other hand, has a degree of rebellion, forethought and intent attached to it. This is a more serious form of sin. This intentional sin is what Yahweh is referring to here in regard to the people in the last days – Edom (Proverbs 18:12) High = Elevated. Lifted high, out of reach. Who will bring me down? This is Edom's question. We know the answer to this…Yahweh! Yahweh humbles the proud (Proverbs 29:23)4  among the stars = Figure of speech Hy-per-bo-le. (a casting or going beyond, overshooting, excess. The figure is so called because the expression adds to the sense so much that it exaggerates it, and enlarges or diminishes it more than is really meant in fact. Or, when more is said than is meant to be literally understood, in order to heighten the sense.) Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

Can we trust Jesus, pray, and do nothing? We all know that action out of the flesh causes problems, but does a Word from God provoke action in us? A group discussion on the theology of Rebekah and Jacob and the "ethics" of what they did to Isaac and Esau to yank the wheel of history toward the Word God had spoken at Esau and Jacob's birth. 

Angry Esau

OBADIAH (SERVENT OF YAHWEHThere is at least twelve people name Obadiah in the Bible. Smiths Bible Dictionary The book itself does not include much information about Obadiah, nor the date and place of the book being written The book of Obadiah is about Edom's judgment and Israel's restorationAccording to Mark Rooker: “The book of Obadiah is a condemnation of Edom for her evil treatment of Judah during the time of Judah's greatest crisis, the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonian empire.” In this morning's study I will go into detail on who are these Edomites and what Obadiah is all aboutThe main purpose of this prophecy of Obadiah is to reveal to us the events that must take place for this world, Yahweh's creation, to become established as the Lord's KingdomNote: For the most part, throughout this study, “Esau” and “Edom” refer to the descendants of Esau. Likewise, ‘Jacob' refers to the descendants of Jacob (i.e. Israel) Obadiah means “Servant of Yahweh”. As a servant of Yahweh our desire is to work for Him and also to be pleasing to Him. This is really where it begins for each of us. Yahweh is not going to teach us, illuminate Biblical texts for us, or give us insight if we are not interested in serving Him or doing His work  The very fact that this book consists of only one chapter should alert us to its importance. If it was unimportant, Yahweh would not have preserved it, and it would have disappeared long ago. Its length also simplifies our task of discovering its message. Like all the Bible books, this one has a message that is vital for us today as well as for its original reader's centuries ago1.       This is the shortest book in the Old Testament with 21 verses 2.       About Edom1.       It is a country located on the southeastern shore of the Dead Sea 2.       Sometimes it is also called Seir as indicated in Genesis 32:3; 36:20–21, 30; Numbers 24:18 3.       The father of the Edomites was Esau and the battle between Israel and Edom goes back to their forefathers who were twin brothers Esau and Jacob in whom they were already fighting in the womb as seen in Genesis 25:21-274.       When the Hebrews headed towards the Promise Land Edom refused them travel through their territory (Numbers 20:14–21, Judges 11:17–18)5.       At one point David controlled Edom (2 Samuel 8:13-14, 1 Kings 11:15-18) but two centuries later they threw off Judah's control during the reign of Jehoram (2 Kings 8:20-22) 6.       Later Edomites raided Judah and took captives during the reign of Ahaz (2 Chronicles 28:17) 7.       The worst act of Edom against Israel was participating with the Babylonians with the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem1.       “Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, “Raze it, raze it To its very foundation.”” (Psalm 137:7)3.       Edom's sin1.       Pride1.       They have pride in their defensive capital makes them think no one can invade and defeat them (3-4)2.       They have pride in their renowned wise men (8)3.       They have pride in their mighty warriors (9)2.       Violence towards Israel: ““Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever.” (10)Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

The sermon explores the historical roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, tracing its origins to the biblical narrative of Jacob and Esau, emphasizing God's sovereign choice and prophecy regarding two nations destined for conflict. It connects this ancient story to contemporary events, including the involvement of figures like Hitler and Yasser Arafat, arguing that the conflict is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy and will not be resolved through earthly means until the return of Christ. The message encourages unwavering support for Israel based on biblical mandate and a focus on faith in God amidst global turmoil, asserting that those who believe will be preserved while nations grapple with chaos.

Clothed in Christ: How Our Lady Shapes Us for God's Blessing Today's readings centers on the tension between the old and the new, . . . . . . especially in the spiritual life. Using Jesus' parables about wineskins and unshrunk cloth, the message underscores that the Gospel cannot be contained or constrained by old patterns, structures, or attitudes. Jesus brings something fundamentally new . . . the joy of the Bridegroom's presence . . . which cannot simply “patch up” what is old but requires full transformation. The Homily draws a parallel with the Virgin Mary, who was created as the perfect vessel . . . the “new wineskin” . . . to receive Jesus Christ. Similarly, we must allow our hearts to be made new to receive the grace and power of the Gospel. Mary Spiritually Clothes Us The Homily also brings in the story of Jacob and Esau to illustrate this renewal through Mary's intercession. Just as Rebecca clothed Jacob in Esau's garments to receive his father's blessing, Mary spiritually clothes us in the virtues of Christ so we can be pleasing to God the Father. The message ends by challenging us to ask whether our old, tired hearts are ready to receive Christ fully and encourages us to rely on Mary's help to be transformed . . . so we may truly become new vessels fit to receive and share the new wine of salvation.

Summary: In Genesis 32, Jacob faces a moment of deep fear and crisis as he prepares to meet his brother Esau, whom he had wronged years earlier. Overwhelmed by anxiety, Jacob prays humbly, acknowledging his unworthiness and pleading for God's deliverance. That night, alone and desperate, Jacob wrestles with a mysterious man—God Himself in human form. In this struggle, Jacob is physically broken, his hip put out of joint, yet he clings in faith, refusing to let go without a blessing. God renames him Israel (which means “Governed by God”), marking the transformation of Jacob from a self-reliant schemer to a man dependent on God's grace.

Pastor Randy taught a sermon titled, "God's Plan" from Genesis 25. 3 Aspects of God's Plan: • Two PEOPLES (vs. 19-23) • Two PURSUITS (vs. 24-30) • Two PRIORITIES (vs. 31-34) Next Sunday, Pastor Randy will teach a sermon titled, God's House from Genesis 28. Homework: Read Gen. 25-28 and answer these questions: 1. How many more children did Abraham have with Keturah? 2. How does Gen. 26:25 demonstrate that Abraham passed on his faith to Isaac? 3. Why did Jacob go to Paddan Aram? From whose people did Esau take a wife?

By Len Martin - The Bible tells the story of twin brothers Jacob and Esau and how their struggle began in the womb of their mother. The family feud that resulted had a major effect on God's plan and purpose and continues to do so to this day, sometimes, even in the church of God!

With Phil on vacation, Kaitlyn and Esau join Skye to talk about the Supreme Court's ruling that public schools must allow students to opt out of gender or sexuality content that may contradict the religious beliefs of their families. At the same time, more Americans say public schools should hire chaplains to offer spiritual guidance to students. With schools increasingly becoming the front line in the culture war, can public education survive? Then, Skye talks to Rachel Martin, the co-creator of NPR's Wild Card podcast and former host of Morning Edition, about what she's learned from interviewing artists, actors, and activists about their beliefs. She offers an intriguing glimpse into the spirituality of secular America.

An idol is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your attention and affection more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.Idols can take on many forms: money, success, power, popularity, or physical attractiveness.  But idols can also take on human form. When you look to a person for the kind of deep affirmation and acceptance that only God can provide, it results not only in pain but in bondage.The Bible graphically illustrates this in the story of Jacob and Leah. Jacob had a twin brother, Esau. Esau was their father, Isaac's favorite—his idol. Because of this, Esau grew up proud, willful, and impulsive, while Jacob grew up cynical, bitter, and conniving. After Jacob deceived his father and received the blessing Esau desired, Esau vowed to kill Jacob. So, Jacob fled for his life. He ended up in his Uncle Laban's house, where he got a job tending sheep. There he met Laban's daughters—Leah and Rachel. Leah had “weak eyes,” while Rachel was beautiful. Jacob was utterly smitten by the lovely Rachel. He had to have her. He would do anything for her. She became his idol. This unhealthy desire consumed Jacob. Rachel was not just the wife he wanted; she was the savior he needed.  Jacob asked her father for her hand in marriage. But Laban deceived the deceiver, Jacob, and after working for seven years, Laban gave him, not Rachel, but Leah. Jacob had to work another seven years for Rachel.Perhaps the greatest casualty in this story is Leah. The daughter whom her father did not want is now the wife her husband did not want. As a result, Leah had a hole in her heart every bit as big as the one in Jacob's heart. And now she tries to fill it with a person. She sets her heart on getting Jacob's love.Genesis 29:31 says that “when the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless.” The Lord gave Leah sons, and with each birth she thought, “Maybe now Jacob will love me.” But it didn't work out that way.Ironically, after all that pain, Leah is the one who shows spiritual progress in all this. When her last son is born, her response is, “This time I will praise the Lord.” It appears that she has finally taken her heart's deepest devotion off of a person and put it on the Lord. She has dealt with her idol.I look at what God did in Leah, and then I consider what God did for her. If you track the genealogy of Jesus, you will see that of all Jacob's sons, He came through the line of Judah, Leah's son.  God reached out to the girl that nobody wanted, the unloved one, and made her the ancestral mother of the Messiah.  Salvation came to the world, not through the beautiful Rachel, but through the unwanted, unloved Leah.No human can bear the burden of godhood. No person can meet the deepest needs of your soul.Jesus is the only one who can live up to the hopes, dreams, indeed, the expectations that we all have. And only when we place Him in the temple of our hearts in a position of unrivaled prominence will we be in a position to love anyone well. Text: Genesis 29Originally recorded on December 5, 2010, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Salvation is not the result of human effort but God's mercy and purpose. Paul begins by expressing deep sorrow for Israel's rejection of Christ despite their unique privileges as God's chosen people. He explains that God's promises have not failed, as true Israel is defined not by ethnicity but by faith in God's promises. Examples like Jacob and Esau highlight that God's choices depend on His mercy, and He has the right to extend mercy wherever He chooses. God has every right to shape His plan like a potter molding clay. He chose to bring Christ through the Jewish people and to extend salvation to Gentiles. These decisions are uniquely His to make. Salvation is open to everyone through faith in Christ. Christians trust in God's authority and embrace His will, even when His ways are beyond our understanding. His choice is to bless “children of the promise,” meaning those who pursue faith in the likeness of Abraham. God's choices regarding mercy are not always easy to comprehend, like choosing Jacob over Esau or hardening Pharaoh's heart. We have no right to find fault with God's decisions concerning Jews, Gentiles, or anyone else. We simply need to trust Him. We know there are “vessels of mercy” who are blessed by God, and that we can be among those people if we honor His sovereign power and achieve righteousness through faith in Jesus. Those who do so faithfully will never be disappointed.  Sovereign God, we praise You for Your mercy, which cannot be earned by our works but is given freely through Your kindness in Your Son. Your ways, from the beginning, are higher than ours. Your merciful choices, actions in the lives of people, and divine will are beyond anything we can fully understand or control. Lord, we choose to trust You. Your ways are good, and Your help is abundant for those who place their faith in Jesus. May His authority never become a stumbling block for us but serve as the unbreakable foundation upon which we build our lives.  Thought Questions: -       Paul sincerely laments the faithlessness of the Jews. Do you feel likewise about people in your life, and how do you deal with that sorrow? -       What do the examples of God choosing Isaac over Ishmael and Jacob over Esau teach you about His sovereignty and will? -       The Jews pursued righteousness by works instead of faith and did not achieve it. What would that mistake look like in your life?

Unspoken tension. Broken trust. Years of silence. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and there's hope. In this powerful message from our Family Mechanics series, Pastor Rod shares how the biblical story of Jacob and Esau offers a roadmap to healing fractured relationships. Whether you're dealing with unresolved conflict between siblings, parents, spouses, or children—this message will help you take the first step toward peace.

Happy Monday! In our Summer Series this week, Pastor Jeff will share that families should forgive one another and take a closer look at the story of Jacob and Esau. Genesis 27:22 22 Jacob went close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

In the mess of Isaac's family dysfunction, the seed of the Genesis 3:15 head-crusher is preserved. God's grace shows up in the most sinful of places. Jacob and Esau fight over the birthright and blessing of their father.

This week's learning is sponsored anonymously in gratitude to Rabbi Carl Perkins, a learned and compassionate rabbi, a gifted teacher, whose love of Judaism inspires all who are blessed to know him. Today's daf is sponsored by Paul and Danielle Nacamuli. "Mazel tov to our daughter and son-in-law on their marriage, may you enjoy many years of joy together!" Today's daf is sponsored by Natanya Slomowitz in loving memory of her mother, Haviva Lilka bat Necha and Avraham. Onkelos converted to Judaism. The emperor sent three different groups of troops to seize him, but he convinced each group to convert to Judaism by explaining to them that God takes care of his people better than the Roman leaders. The prophecy told to Rivka when she was pregnant with Esau and Yaakov, "There are two nations in your womb," is explained as meaning "two proud/great ones" and refers to Rebbi and Antoninus, who were both blessed with plenty. What is the basis of the argument between Rabbi Meir and the rabbis regarding whether it is forbidden to do business with idol worshippers on the day of the death of their king, only if there is burning or even if there is not? How does that connect with the braita that says the Jews burn the items of a king, and it is not forbidden because it is the way of the non-Jews? They would burn items not only when kings died, but also heads of the Sanhedrin. What types of items would be burned? The Mishna mentions the day of shaving his beard and his locks. Is this referring to two separate days - one of shaving the beard and one of shaving the locks on the back of his neck to be offered to the idol, or the day where one shaved his beard, but kept his locks to grow, to later be offered to the idol? The Gemara concludes that both answers are correct. Another Roman holiday is described where they would celebrate their dominion over the Jews. This one is not listed in the Mishna as it happened only once in a lifetime, or very infrequently. What were the Babylonian and Persian holidays? Rav Huna son of Rav Chisda listed several pagan temples with which it was forbidden to ever do business, as they offered sacrifices daily to the idols. Shmuel was lenient with holidays in the Diaspora and forbade only the day of the holiday itself.

Jacob and Rebekah took matters into their hands when Isaac tried to bless Esau. We trust that God's timing is always correct.

The bowl of soup that cost Esau his destiny stands as one of scripture's most profound warnings about momentary decisions with eternal consequences. Brother Ivey masterfully unpacks this ancient story with urgent relevance for today's believers who face similar temptations to trade their spiritual inheritance for temporary satisfaction.When we receive the Holy Ghost, we're engrafted into the Abrahamic covenant—gaining access to all the promises of blessing, protection, and provision that God originally gave to Abraham. "Anywhere we put our feet, that land is our land," Brother Ivy declares with apostolic authority. Yet many believers fail to fully possess what's rightfully theirs because they haven't activated these covenant promises through faith.The stark contrast between Jacob and Esau serves as both warning and wake-up call. Esau, returning exhausted from the field, made what seemed like a small compromise in a moment of weakness. That single decision—trading his birthright for immediate gratification—literally rewrote biblical history. Where Jesus should have mentioned "Abraham, Isaac, and Esau" in the kingdom lineage, He instead said "Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Esau's name was erased from this spiritual heritage over one bowl of soup.Today's "bowls of soup" look different but prove equally devastating: offense, fleshly desires, worldly compromise, or simply growing weary in well-doing. Brother Ivey's message rings with prophetic clarity: "The devil does not have the authority to take away your God-given birthright. His only chance at stopping the blessing that God has placed upon your life is if you give it to him willingly."This powerful teaching calls us back to spiritual fundamentals—consistent prayer, regular fasting, daily Scripture reading, and faithful church attendance. These aren't just religious activities but the practical guardrails that protect our spiritual inheritance. As Brother Robinette emphasizes, "There's no secret. Nothing's mystical in the kingdom of God. Just get back to the basics."Listen now and reclaim the fullness of your spiritual birthright before another moment passes. Don't sell your divine destiny for any bowl of soup the enemy might offer!We love to hear from our listeners!

“They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!” (2 Timothy 3:5 NLT) As an evangelist, I constantly observe how two people who hear the same message will react in two completely different ways. One person will be profoundly moved, while the other will become harder in their sin. We see the very same thing in the story of Cain and Abel. Both men were sons of Adam and Eve. Both were raised in the same home and exposed to the same spiritual message. When we first read their story in Genesis 4, it seems as though they were both believers. But time revealed that Cain was so jealous and embittered that he murdered his brother Abel. The story of Cain and Abel ought to remind us that there are people just going through the motions, spiritually speaking. They give the appearance of being believers, but they have no real relationship with God. Or, as the apostle Paul put it in 2 Timothy 3:15: “They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly” (NLT). That’s the life story of too many people. They are all show and no go. Their faith in God is nothing more than a mere game or act. Paul followed his description with a warning: “Stay away from people like that!” (NLT). Believers, especially young believers, can be led astray by people with an insincere faith. Consider this. You can offer like Cain. You can weep like Esau. You can serve like Gehazi. You can be a disciple like Judas. You can recite long prayers like the Pharisees. You can be a seeking soul like the rich young ruler. You can have lamps like the five foolish bridesmaids. You can do all these things and still be lost. Jesus was referring to God’s words recorded in Isaiah 29:13 when He said, “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me” (Matthew 15:8 NLT). And while spiritual acts may fool many people, they can never fool the Lord. Remember: “The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7 NLT). That’s why it’s such a short-sighted mistake to take a surface-deep approach to the Christian faith. One day, we will all have to answer for the choices we make in this life. And Jesus warned in Matthew 7:21: “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter” (NLT). Jesus offers not just eternal life in heaven but also “a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10 NLT) in this world. But you can’t experience it if your only concern is looking like a Christian. Jesus demands your whole heart. Reflection question: How can you tell the difference between a sincere and insincere faith?
