  2. Connect verse for the week. Colossians 4:5-6, Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

  3. AGE DOES NOT ALWAYS EQUAL MATURITY • Verse 27 As the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter. He was an outdoorsman, but Jacob had a quiet temperament, preferring to stay at home. • About 60 years old at this time

  4. MOMENTARY SATISFACTION LEADS TO LONGTERM RESULTS • Verse 32 Look, I’m dying of starvation!” said Esau. “What good is my birthright to me now?” • when we’re too lonely, too tired, or too hungry for affirmation or importance that our emotions are exaggerated and we settle for things we normally wouldn’t think twice about. • Beware of the temptation to give up what you want most for what you want now.

  5. YOUR INDENITY IS NOT IN THE BOWL • Verse 34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn. • We sell our peace by choosing to eat worrisome thoughts. We sell our joy by eating from a bowl of things to grumble about. We sell our testimonies by indulging in our tempers. Esau chose the bowl and later tried to be restored, but was denied.
