Do you help or exploit? Genesis 25-27

My, my. Last week’s lesson contained “Chick flick” elements, such as the love story between Isaac and Rebekah. This week’s lesson, however, “Do you help or exploit?”, reads more like an action/adventure story that’s full of intrigue.

The interaction between Isaac/Rebekah and their sons Esau and Jacob features parental favoritism, sibling rivalry, deceit, rebellion, and the Lord’s active role in the lives of men and women.

Start the lesson by asking members to tell about a time when they got a really good deal. This will start the class with members in a happy frame of mind since they were winners in some deal. Then ask them to describe how the loser in the deal must have felt?
