As we look at Genesis 25 this week, we see the unexpected results of parental favoritism, and sibling rivalry. Jacob, the younger would gain an advantage over his brother Esau . . . .
For us, God shows no favoritism - His Son Christ, died for ALL.
The hymn at the end, "My Soul Now Praise Your Maker" is a sermon to itself that fits perfectly with our message today.
