We enter Genesis chapter 28 today and the focus is on Jacob. If you’ll recall, he had just deceived his father into receiving the blessing. Yes Jacob was a conniver, a heal catcher.

Let’s be encouraged to always do the right thing the right way as we join pastor Ed Taylor. To support th...

You may feel as though your family is a real mess or dysfunctional. That’s the story for many of us, and it certainly was the case for the family we’ll hear about today on Abounding Grace. This family fell apart, and it all started with deceit and favoritism. Pastor Ed Taylor opens Genesis chapter 27 today. The family I’m referring to is Isaac and Rebekah’s.

Think your family is dysfunctional? Well as the old saying goes, You ain’t seen nothing yet. Isaac’s family was dysfunctional in so many ways. There was a lack of trust and leadership, and it would lead to broken relationships. It’s a family gone wrong, and reminds us that deceit destroys families.

We’re going to be studying Isaac’s life and as you’ll see in a moment, it resembles his dad’s life...
