Hebrews 11:21

Takeaways:

Creation: Jacob’s Origin

God had chosen Jacob to be the continuation of the promise to Abraham and Isaac
Jacob swindled Esau out of his birthright for a bowl of soup.
Instead of Esau having the first born birth rights, God told Rebekah that it would be reversed and that Jacob would have it.

Fall: The Deceiver

Jacob’s name means deceiver
He lied because he thought it gave him power or control over situations
Jacob didn’t need to lie to deceive his father and get a blessing. God had already told his parents that the older would serve the younger

Redemption: Wrestling Match

Jacob will no longer be called Trickster. Heel-Grabber. His new name is Israel.
Esau and Jacob make amends and Esau doesn’t kill Jacob like he feared.

Restoration

Jacob finished better than he started.
How you finish is far more important than how you started.

Discussion Questions:

Who were some of the people in Jacob's life that were hurt by the lies? How were they affected?
Why does lying come so easily to us? Why is it harder to tell the truth or do the right thing?
Why do you think God stopped Jacob from running away from Esau in the middle of the night?
Why do you think an encounter with God could change our perspective?
