The Devastation of Sin

The World Never Brings Satisfaction

Schechem had:

Position

Power

Honor

Wealth

Sin Comes With Empty Promises

Acceptance

Wealth

Prosperity

You Can’t Buy Your Way Out of Sin

Schechem tried to cover his sins with a bribe.

Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right

Jacob’s sons were:

Deceitful

Murderous

Greedy

Obstinate

Only a Changed Heart Gives Victory Over Sin

Jacob’s life had been changed.

A changed heart does not transfer to other people.

Each person must have his own encounter with God.

How to Handle Being Wronged

Ephesians 4:25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. 26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil

Speak truth

Do not hang on to anger

Do not give an opportunity to the devil
