Genesis 36-37
We learn about the line of Esau in chapter 36. Pastor Mike spoke this morning about Korah and how he revolted against Moses! God had the earth open up and swallow his people! (Numbers 17) Is this the same Korah??
In chapter 37, we learn about Joseph! Jacob had a favorite son out of his 12 sons and gave him this special robe which made his brothers hate him.
We see lots of sin issues in Jacob and his sons. Favoritism, jealously, plots to murder...Reuben was instrumental in thwarting his brothers plots to kill Joseph. He planned on rescuing him from the cistern but his brother Judah decided to sell Joseph for profit instead. He was 17 years old.
Matthew 18-
We're not to look down upon little children, be humble, rejoice when the one who's wandered off returns, and approach our brothers and sisters in Christ one on one regarding sin. Throw out things that cause you to stumble in your spiritual walk. Be forgiving and merciful towards others. Remember, God is with us, regardless of how many or how few of us gather (vs 20).
