Jacob gets his comeuppance, but we see God working to redeem the situation.

Jacob runs away from Esau and God visits him in a dream - showing him that heaven, indeed, can be accessed - which is profound once we analyze it in terms of who Jesus is.

The entire family tries to manipulate each other to bring about a supposed "good" - sinning in the process.

Isaac fights with the Philistines over water. We talk about the difference between Envy and Jealousy, and discuss generational sin.

Abraham dies and the narrative shifts to his at-odds grandchildren - Jacob and Esau. We also talk about concubines.

Abraham's loyal servant travels 500 miles to court Rebekah to be Isaac's wife. We get to chat about the beauty of Rebekah's character and the undying loyalty of the servant while also discussing arranged marriages and women's rights at this time.

Sarah dies and Abraham seeks a burial site for her. We talk a little about false gods or "demon gods."

In what is quite possibly one of the most important chapters in Genesis, Abraham is asked to offer up his son Isaac as a sacrifice.

The child of promise is finally born 25 years later, bringing great joy to Sarah. Hagar and Ishmael are cast out, and Abraham settles a dispute.

Abraham commits the same sin all over again and is put to shame by a pagan king.
