ISAAC AND REBEKAH SERMON OUTLINES

Isaac and Rebekah: A Family in Discord

by Miles Seaborn

INTRO. Family problems and breakdowns are no new thing. True, they have grown to what the National Family Service Assoc. calls ''epidemic'' proportions and now ranks as America's No. 1 social problem. Billy Graham's magazine, Decision, quotes Dr. George Mace of the University of California as saying, ''The decline of modern marriage has reached the point where the happily married couple seems to be the oddity.'' ILL. BYOB, ''Bring Your Own Bovanac (sic)''. Judge Oz Quickman: no models, positive/negative. He lists the following statistics: ''40% of all US marriages end in divorce, annulments, or desertions....

Rebekah, the Mother That Destroyed Her Family

by Donald Cantrell

This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points. James Dobson asked hundreds of teens what they would like to tell their parents. Their answers might surprise you: Teach us about God and spiritual things. Guide us towards good marriages by modeling a good one. Don't curse and smoke, if you don't want us too.Be consistent and follow through on things. Play with your kids. Tell us that you love us often. Look for good things in kids and not just the bad. Don't pressure us too much to excel. Believe us and believe in us. Talk to us straight about sensitive subjects. The Smothers brothers had a famous quote ''Mom...

Rebekah's Three Mistakes with Her Two

by Richard Bradley

Genesis 27:1-8: 1 Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, ''My son.'' And he answered him, ''Here I am.'' 2 Then he said, ''Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death. 3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me. 4 And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.'' 5 Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it...

Isaac the Backslider - Part 1 (48 of 64)

by Brad Whitt

If you have your Bibles with you now this evening, if you would be finding your place at Genesis, chapter number 26. We are now officially at, after what, nearly two years; we have hit the halfway mark. We're in Genesis, chapter 26 tonight, and if you're new here at Abilene, two years this fall, but a year and a half, we have been journeying through this initial book, the beginning book in your Bible. We've called this series of studies ''The Book of Beginnings: Creation, Fall, Flood, and Covenant.'' Tonight, we come to Genesis 26, beginning in verse number one, all the way down through the end of the chapter. We are going to get done here...

Three Men Who Became Foolish

by Ivor Powell

It is always depressing to see the fall of a giant. This applies to stately trees in the redwood forests, renowned sports figures incapacitated either by accident or sickness, or a person famous for religious achievement. The higher a climber ascends on a mountain, the greater the distance he might fall. The death of a soldier in combat is always a tragedy, but when a commanding general dies, his replacement is hard to find. The Bible records the disasters that befell three men whose success could have been sensational. Unfortunately they sacrificed their usefulness on altars of personal desire. Esau-Who Fell for a Tasty Meal . . . How...

Family Feud (17 of 31)

by Ernest Easley

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! If you live long enough sooner or later you're going to encounter a crisis, a tragedy, a trial, a storm. It's the storms that reveal the strength of the foundation! And when those storms come across your life, you will be left standing or falling. That's why God has given us the book of Genesis! To show us how to build our life on a solid foundation! We're going to learn today from Genesis 25 about...

All in the Family - Part 1 (46 of 64)

by Brad Whitt

If you have your Bibles with you now this evening, if you will be finding a place at Genesis, Chapter 25, and as we pick up in our series of studies through this beginning book in your Bible, we're studying verses 19-34. I want to share with you tonight a message that I'm entitling, All in the Family. That ought to strike a little bit of a mental note with some of you all. I shared with somebody the other day about my Pap Paw, my mama's daddy, Burt Thomas, and I told somebody the other day, my Pap Paw looked, thought, and acted like Archie Bunker. Now, I thought about trying to explain all that, and I think I'm just going to leave that alone....

Passing the Promises (30 of 54)

by Keith Krell

Five years ago, a wonderful man by the name of Gil Woo gave me a very meaningful gift. [Hold up a green aluminum baton.] Gil gave me this baton as a reminder that God's call upon my life is to finish well and pass the faith on to those who will come after me. I have kept this baton on my office desk for the past five years as a visual, daily reminder of that calling. I'm sure you've heard it said that the Christian faith is always only one generation from extinction. Or as Bruce Wilkinson says, ''God has no grandchildren.'' Instead, the Christian faith is like a relay race in which one generation passes the baton of God's truth to another generation...

The Parent Trap Part One (1 of 6)

by Scott Maze

Who of us has cornered the market for craziness in our family? It seems that broken families and dysfunctional families are everywhere. There's hope for even crazy families because of Jesus Christ. Great things can come from broken families. Jacob's life stands above the rest of humanity like a tall Colorado Rocky mountain peak over the horizon. More than a 1,000 years after Jacob died, his impact still lived on for the prophet Hosea said of him: ''In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and in his manhood he strove with God. 4 He strove with the angel and prevailed; he wept and sought his favor. He met God at Bethel...

Isaac and Rebekah: A Family in Discord

Well, Well, Well Isaac

by Robert Walker

An American pastor tells a story of a friend who bought some property in India. When he started to clear out an old well dug horizontally into the side of a mountain, he found old machinery, discarded furniture, trash, weeds, bushes and nearly 300 cobras. The next day when he went back to the well he found a stream bubbling out and flowing again! Imagine how precious that was for him and his fami1y, cattle and workers. Isn't that the message of Genesis 26 as God is calling us to re-dig the old wells of the precious, powerful, life giving water of the Holy Spirit? The church has to much baggage such as a lot of sacred cows, trash and weeds...

Are You an Ishmael or an Isaac? (10 of 17)

by Jerry Vines

We are coming to another climax in a section of Galatians. There are three main divisions in this six- chapter book. The first two chapters hang together and the next two chapters hang together, and then the last two chapters hang together. We are coming now to the climax of that second division. We will begin, God willing, next Wednesday night in the 5th chapter, making the practical application to what has been taught thus far in the book. Paul says to these Galatian believers who were in danger of going back into bondage, having been set free by Christ. Now false teachers have come and they are going back into bondage...

Isaac - The Man Who Dug Old Wells (2 of 16)

by Clarence E. Macartney

Once on a summer day, floating down the Ohio River, our boat grounded on the sands of a large and densely wooded island, the largest island in the Ohio, some distance below Parkersburg. Disembarking, we roamed over the island and soon came upon the evidences of a former habitation; fragments of well-cut stones that had once marked the line of a driveway, and here and there the vestiges of a once splendid mansion, foundation stones, broken arches, and fragments of a wall. It was the home the expatriated Irishman Harman Blennerhassett had built for himself and his lady in that island wilderness. Once the hospitality of kings was...

The Beginning of the End (1 of 39)

by James Merritt

I am beginning a series of messages entitled, ''The King Is Coming'' I for that is the theme of the book of the revelation, every now and then someone will say, ''what is this world coming to?'' I can tell you what it is coming to; it is coming to Jesus, this world is like a giant bowling ball hurtling down the alley of this universe toward the ''kingpin whose name is Jesus, history is really ''his'' story. 2. The first chapter of the book of the revelation is ''the beginning of the end.'' genesis 1 introduces us to how this world began. Revelation 1 introduces us to how it is all going to end. In genesis we have the commencement of heaven and earth...

Isaac on the Altar (17 of 34)

by Jerry Vines

Life is a series of tests. I couldn't help but think as I looked over this magnificent group of graduating seniors, that their life is going to be a series of tests. As they move along in various ways and under various circumstances, they will find that their lives will be tested. Abraham is the great man of faith in the Bible. We have already seen that his life is a series of tests as well. When you come to chapter 22,verse 1, you are immediately alerted that what you read here is going to be a test. It says specifically, ''After these things God did tempt Abraham.'' Does that sound a little contradictory to you to what we find in James 1, verse 13...
