Preacher: Derrick McCarson

Summary:
If you are looking for a model family, you won’t find one in the Bible. Isaac and Rebekah’s family was a hot mess. Their marriage got off to a promising start, but by the time we open Gen. 27, they have drifted apart. Years of parental favoritism has divided this family. Isaac prefers his athletic, brawny, son of the wild—Esau. While, Rebekah shelters and nurtures her “mama’s boy”—Jacob. In this message, we are going to see a portrait of a dysfunctional family that self-destructs. Here is a case study in what not to do and how to spare ourselves from needless heartache and pain.
