The story of Esau and his bowl of soup illustrates how people easily squander their spiritual inheritance in the interests of instant self-gratification. The Scripture urges us to take hold of what is of true value and lay claim to our inheritance as “heirs of God”.

The stories of Abraham and Isaac give us a powerful picture of the promises of God, how they unfold, and how we are called to trust.
