Genesis 28 pt3 - Don't Be An Esau by Ray Jensen
Don't be an Esau.
Part of the A Land of Milk & Honey – Abraham to David series. Sermon by Pastor Nathan Alley The post Bethel – Genesis 28:10-22 first appeared on Applewood Community Church.
Summary: In our passage today, we read of one of e greatest accounts of grace and Jacob is on the run from his brother Esau for deceiving him and his father Issac regarding the family blessing; yet God shows up and pours grace out upon him. We don't understand grace and that's the point, for if we could, it wouldn't be grace. We can only stand on the promise of grace, and receive it, though never fully understanding it. Maybe you need some grace, or need to give some grace, join us God pours out His grace.
Discover Jacob's incredible journey from a scheming scoundrel to a changed man. Witness his divine dream of a stairway to heaven, where God bestows the Abrahamic covenant and personal promises. Learn how Jacob's encounter reveals God's unmerited favor and a call to trust in His provision, transforming his life at Bethel.For the study resources and manuscript go to VBVF.ORG

In his last sermon at Citylight Lincoln before moving to be the Salt Director at Citylight Kearney, Chaten Edgrin takes us through Genesis 28 and Jacob's vision of the ladder to Heaven
Jacob is on the run. From Esau's fury, but also from the consequences of deceit and dysfunction. He is charged by Isaac to find a wife and preserve the covenant line. Although Jacob leaves behind the land of promise, he is accompanied by the God of promise. He stops for the night with nothing but a stone for a pillow. In the middle of nowhere, heaven opens. A ladder appears with angels ascending and descending. And the LORD Himself appears—not with wrath, but with a reaffirmation of the promises made to Abraham and Isaac. The Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Noblesville, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 28. To learn more about Christ Lutheran Church, visit www.clc-in.org. Genesis isn't just the start of the Bible; it's the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal. In this new series from Thy Strong Word, Pastor Phil Booe and his guests walk verse by verse through Genesis, exploring how God reveals Himself as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. From the grandeur of the cosmos to the struggles of ordinary families, Genesis introduces us to a God who speaks, acts, and keeps His promises. So, whether you've read it a hundred times or are just now cracking it open for a serious look, this series will help you see Genesis with fresh eyes—and a deeper faith. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

When you're going through pain, confusion, or silence—it can feel like God is nowhere to be found. But in Genesis 28, Jacob had a dream, woke up, and said: “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” This devotional is for anyone who feels forgotten or overlooked by God in the middle of their trial. Just because you don't see Him working doesn't mean He's not there. His presence isn't always loud—but it is always faithful.

Jacob has left his family to go up to Haran, when he stops for the night and sees a vision of God, reiterating to him the promises of Abraham connected to the land. Jacob then vows, that if God will be his God, he will build his life upon God's promises. We talk about doing the same in our time together.

Jacob, as the future seed of the line of Abraham, is sent up to Haran to find a wife who shares faith in the God of Abraham. Esau, angry and rejected, sees this and tries to fix his own marriage mess by marrying the granddaughter of Ishmael. Today we talk about the danger of faithless fixes to a life of poor choices.

Christians sometimes feel like they're having travel delay. We know that the Lord has a plan for our lives and a destination we're aimed at. But it seems like we're never going to get there — to the home God has promised. In Genesis 28 & 33, we see Jacob being sent away and then returning to Canaan. And his journey teaches us that through the grace of Christ, we are not only forgiven for trying to make this world our home, but we're taught to lift our hearts to heaven until the Lord brings us there.
Genesis 28 part 3

Genesis 28 part 1
“At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone to rest his head against and lay down to sleep. As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway.” (Genesis 28:11–12 NLT) God promised Abraham that He would make a great nation from Abraham’s descendants. Step one of the promised nation-building was giving Abraham and his wife Sarah a son, which God did when Abraham was one hundred years old. The son’s name was Isaac. When Isaac was a young man, he married a woman named Rebekah. When Isaac was sixty years old, Rebekah gave birth to twin boys. They named them Esau and Jacob. Esau was born first. In the culture of that day, the firstborn son was given special privileges, known as the birthright. The birthright included a leadership role in the family, the right to make judicial decisions, a double portion of the father’s inheritance, and a special blessing from the father. One day Esau returned from hunting, famished. Jacob was cooking a bean stew. He offered to give his brother a bowl of stew in exchange for Esau’s birthright. Esau agreed, which showed how little he cared about his birthright. Later, Jacob posed as his brother to trick his nearly blind father into giving Jacob his special blessing. The blessing gave Jacob divine protection. Whoever cursed him would be cursed by God, and whoever blessed him would receive God’s blessings. Esau was devastated—and furious—when he learned what his brother had done. He plotted to kill Jacob after their father died. To protect Jacob, Rebekah sent him away until Esau cooled off. While Jacob was on the run, he spent a night in a land named Luz. There, he had a dream in which he saw a stairway that extended from the earth all the way to Heaven. He saw angels going up and down the stairway. God spoke to him from the top of the stairway. He reaffirmed His covenant with Abraham and reminded Jacob that the land where he slept belonged to him and his descendants. What Jacob didn’t realize is that God had given him a glimpse of Jesus’ future work. Sin separated humans from God. There was no passageway between earth and Heaven, no hope for eternal life. But Jesus’ sacrifice changed that. He became the stairway to Heaven, the only way to eternal life. Jesus identified Himself with Jacob’s dream when He said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth” (John 1:51 NLT). In Genesis 32:9–16, Jacob prayed as he was on his way to make amends with Esau. He acknowledged the God of Abraham and Isaac as the true God. He confessed his own unworthiness. He brought his petition to the Lord. But it would have been better if he had said, “Lord, what should I do now?” Instead, he prayed and made his plans. In other words, he decided what he was going to do and then asked God to bless it. Is that not like us? We make our plan and then ask God to bless it. But that is not really praying about a matter. Instead, we should pray along the lines of “Lord, give me wisdom from Your Word and from godly people who will guide me scripturally. Help me do the right thing.” But Jacob did not do that. He wanted what was right, but he went about it in the wrong way. God helps those who can’t help themselves. This is what Jacob needed to realize. Let’s learn to seek out God’s will rather than bypass it. Reflection question: How do you feel about the claim that there are many different paths that lead to God?
