Bowls, Birthrights and Brothers. A ridiculous story that shows God at work
even when we get it wrong.
Have you ever made a bad trade? In many ways the story of Jacob and Esau seems ridiculous. A hungry brother, a bowl of red stew, and the trading of a birthright don’t seem to make much rational sense but yet this is our story today. In a world of instant gratification we are constantly find our rationality and our need for a quick fix at odds with one another. Money, Sex, Power and so many other areas seem to lead to some bad trades. In part two of our series on Jacob we see a warning against giving up what we want most for what we want now. But also a incredible example of grace at work even when we make a poor decision.
Welcome to the City Collective Podcast. Our heart as a church is founded in our belief in Jesus and who He is. We believe that it is through Jesus that we discover the beauty of love and life. Jesus isn’t an aloof deity set apart from humankind, rather He came to earth to welcome us into relationship with Him. It wasn’t an obligation, but a natural overflow of who He is: LOVE.
We hope that you encounter God's heart in each episode and are challenged and inspired in your relationship with Jesus.
