More Than Soup: A Long Obedience vs Momentary Satisfaction (Genesis 25:19-34)

Jan 26, 2025    Peter Voorhees

What do we do when God seems silent in our impatient world? In Genesis 25, we meet two brothers whose story reveals how God works in the midst of our desire for immediate answers. From their first moments – wrestling in the womb – to a hasty trade that valued temporary satisfaction over lasting promise, Jacob and Esau's narrative mirrors our own struggle between instant gratification and trusting God's timing. As we begin our journey through "Wrestled, Refined, Redeemed," we'll discover how God's unseen hand moves even when circumstances feel out of control. Their story reminds us that while we often want instant resolution in our "right now" world, God's redemptive work unfolds in His perfect timing. Join us this Sunday as we explore how this ancient story speaks to our modern struggle with waiting, control, and trust in God's greater purpose.
