Genesis 25:19-34

Take God's Word and turn please to Genesis chapter 25. Now I've told you from the start that the book of Genesis takes us back to the basics! It could be called "Christianity 101." It shows us how to build our lives on a solid and sure foundation!

And we're going to see today that Esau who was born first is a picture of our old nature and Jacob who came second is a picture of our new nature in Christ. And these two natures within us are at war just as those two boys were at war with one another.

There is much to learn from Isa ...
