This week we take a look at Jacob and Easu and their contentious relationship. Jacob, deceived his brother out of his birthright using Esau's hunger as a tool. Esau, who placed little value on his birthright, gave no consideration to the consequences of the bargain and willingly agreed. For this reason, it is said that Esau despised his birthright. We will look at how we make decisions. Good decision making is intentional and bad decision making is natural.

What do you do when the world is falling apart? In the narrative of Genesis, people experienced a series of difficult circumstances. At one point the world even seemed like it was coming to an end! But in the midst of it all, God was consistently faithful. This week we will study how God interacted with His people and how God's character then still stands in our lives today.

In the second "chapter" of our Genesis study, three characters are highlighted because they stood out from everyone else in the way they looked, walked, worked, and lived. We will focus on these three characters in the genealogy because they teach us about living above average.

This week kicks off our new series! The series is titled "Ten" because the author of Genesis divided the book into ten "chapters" that were all designated by the phrase, "these are the generations of..."
