In his message on Genesis 27, Pastor Andrew highlights how God accomplishes His plan despite the deceptive schemes of man. He illustrates how Isaac, Rebekah, and Jacob's deceitful actions to gain what they desired ultimately ruined relationships within the family, leading to hatred and discord. Despite these human failings and unrighteousness, God's sovereign will, as prophesied in Genesis 25:23, for the older to serve the younger, was still fulfilled through Jacob. Pastor Andrew emphasizes that while deception never truly succeeds and always finds you out, God's perfect plan continues, offering comfort to the anxious, sinful, and righteous. The message concludes with a call to repent from deceit and embrace a life of selflessness and truth found through Christ.

The passage illustrates how God hears our prayers and acts in His timing. Esau's poor judgment in selling his birthright for a meal serves as a reminder of how weakness can lead to unwise decisions.

He challenges listeners to consider the depths of their own allegiance to God and highlights that true obedience may come at a cost.

God calls the unlikely - Abraham was a 75-year-old pagan from Ur with a barren wife, yet God chose him just as He chose David, Ruth, Paul, and teenage disciples to change the world. True discipleship demands leaving everything behind, as Jesus told His followers to deny themselves daily and renounce all possessions. Abraham simply "went" when God called, becoming a blessing to all nations through his obedience - the same commission Christ gives us to make disciples and share the gospel at our lunch tables and beyond.
