He Ain’t Hairy, He’s My Brother

Yesterday, the RiverKidz  Bible story was about how Jacob stole Esau’s birthright (Genesis 27, 31-33) taking his inheritance and his place in the family. It wasn’t fair that Jacob took everything from Esau, took his birthright and his family blessing though deceiving their father, but Esau eventually let go of his anger and forgave his brother. Our Bottom Line is: Prove you care about others by letting go of “what’s fair.” Preserving the relationship is more important. The application from the Bible Story is that we care more about each other then winning an argument.

This month's memory verse: So let us do all we can to live in peace. And let us work hard to build each other up. Romans 14:19

To read more about Jacob and Esau read Genesis 27:41-45; 31:3; 32:1-21; 33:1-11
