Family discussion questions

Use these around the dinner table, in Sunday School, or for companionship study — each comes from this week's chapters.

  1. How does Jacob's transformation give you hope for your own spiritual growth?
  2. What 'birthright' blessings do you have that you should never trade for temporary pleasures?
  3. Why is it so hard to choose the eternal over the immediate when you're 'hungry' for something?
  4. When have you looked back and realized, 'The Lord was in this place, and I didn't know it'?
  5. Why do you think God chose to appear to Jacob when he was at his loneliest and most afraid?
  6. How has the temple been like a 'ladder' connecting you to heaven?
  7. What are some modern 'bowls of stew' that people trade eternal blessings for?
  8. Have you ever been tempted to give up something important for something immediate? What happened?

Sample questions from this week's game

You're Esau. You come home exhausted and starving after a long day. Your brother offers you a delicious hot meal but says you have to trade your birthright — your spiritual inheritance — for it. What do you do?

Genesis 25:29-34

Show answer

Refuse the trade — your birthright is infinitely more valuable than one meal — Esau's choice represents one of the most tragic trades in scripture. He 'despised his birthright' — valuing temporary comfort over eternal blessings. We face similar choices whenever we're tempted to trade lasting spiritual things for quick gratification.

Genesis 28:16

Genesis 28:16

Show answer

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. — Jacob's realization — 'Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not' — is one we all experience. Sometimes God is working in our lives and we don't even recognize it until later. Spiritual awareness helps us see God's hand in places we might not expect.
