Two Kinds Of Sons, Genesis 25

Series: The God Who Is There- A Series in the Book of Genesis Topic: 1 Passage: Genesis 25:19–25:34

In the latter half of Genesis 25, Rebekah prays to the Lord for children and He blesses her with twins, though she does not feel blessed as they begin to fight within her.  The Lord explains that it is because they will grow up and be the start of two nations.  The parents pick their favorite child, and the Lord loves one and hates the other, according to Malachi and Romans.  This sermon explores the beginning of Esau and Jacob's lives, as well as the doctrine of election.
