Sermon Discussion questions
Seven Conversations: (Genesis 27)

Ice Breaker: Choose one: What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever done to avoid getting caught doing something wrong?"; "What's your favorite 'delicious food' that you'd do almost anything for?"; "Tell us about a time when your sibling rivalry or family competition got hilariously out of hand."

This Week Specific

The sermon points out how Isaac was controlled by his appetite for "delicious food." What physical appetites or desires tend to control your decisions and actions? How might these cravings be affecting your relationship with God and others? If that’s too personal, where have you seen it others? (as means to reflect on it in ourselves)
Rebekah tried to be "the Holy Spirit" for others by controlling and manipulating situations. In what relationships do you find yourself trying to force change or control outcomes rather than trusting God's timing and methods? What would it look like to release that control?
Jacob was more afraid of getting caught than being convicted of sin. Think of a current struggle in your life - are you primarily motivated by fear of consequences or by genuine conviction about what honors God? How can we cultivate true conviction rather than just fear of getting caught?
The sermon notes that "everyone in the family sought the blessings of God without bending the knee to God." In what areas of your life are you pursuing good things (career success, relationships, influence) but potentially using methods that don't honor God? What would "bending the knee" look like in those situations?
Like Esau, we often see others' sins clearly while remaining blind to our own. Share about a conflict where you initially blamed others but later recognized your own contribution to the problem. What helped you gain that perspective?
Brian quoted Glen Hoberg saying, "It's not just the change you want to make, but the way you make the change that matters most." Think of a change you're trying to create in your family, workplace, or community. Are your methods aligned with biblical values? What might need to adjust?
