26. Battle for the Blessing (Genesis 27)

Many people think the Bible is filled with stories of religious heroes. But Genesis is filled with villains. The people God uses in the Bible often don't come off as moral exemplars to be emulated but as trophies of his grace and mercy. In this message, Michael Bouterse, director of Thrive Harbor, looks to the story of Jacob and Esau for evidence of God's grace in working through flawed and broken people.

Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Genesis 24:67; 25:21-23, 27-34; 28:10-15; Romans 10:17; and Ephesians 2:8-9.
