When Family Falls Apart

1. Esau’s Meal

Hebrews 11:20 NASB95

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.

Hebrews 12:15–17 NASB95

15 See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled; 16 that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.

2. Esau’s Leftovers

Genesis 33:9 NASB95

9 But Esau said, “I have plenty, my brother; let what you have be your own.”

Amos 1:10–11 NASB95

10 “So I will send fire upon the wall of Tyre And it will consume her citadels.” 11 Thus says the Lord, “For three transgressions of Edom and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because he pursued his brother with the sword, While he stifled his compassion; His anger also tore continually, And he maintained his fury forever.
