Dealing with Deception

Passage: Genesis 27:1-28:9

Speaker: Dr. Garet Robinson

Series: One Big Happy Family

Category: Sunday Sermons

Deception damages our relationships with others and ourselves. Whether it is something we do ourselves or is done to us, deception brings pain and betrayal. The Bible reminds us often that deception and lying lead to endless cycles of deception and lying; but in all of our relationships, honesty encourages honesty, transparency encourages transparency, vulnerability encourages vulnerability. In our scene today, Jacob eventually learns this in his relationship with Esau, but the marks of deception carry forward into the lives of his children. In our families and our church, may we seek to foster relationships of integrity and honesty as we lead by example.
