The Vineyard- September 21, 2014

The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Genesis 27:1-45
Pray that God will speak to you through the reading of His word.
-          Discerning the will of God
o   Rebekeh had received the oracle concerning Jacob’s supremacy over Esau.  However, Isaac had either never heard about it, or refused to accept it, because he seeks to make Esau supreme.  Why is it critical to discern the will of God together?
-          The Key of Communication
o   It’s possible that Rebekeh didn’t communicate the oracle concerning Jacob to Isaac.  We know that Isaac didn’t communicate his intentions concerning the blessing to Jacob.  How are problems avoided when we communicate effectively?
-          The Dangers of Dishonesty
o   Jacob uses dishonesty to gain the blessing of his father.  How might Jacob of done things differently?
Pray that we will seek to discern God’s will together, so that we can work together towards the same goal. 
Consider how you might better communicate with others. 

Pray for the integrity to be honest in all things.
