About this sermon
Speaker: Pastor Ken Addison, Teaching Pastor Beulah Baptist Church | Hopkins, SC Sermon preached: March 9, 2025 Scripture: Genesis 27:30–46 In Genesis 27:30–46, Pastor Ken Addison continues the story of Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Esau after Jacob receives the blessing through deception. When Esau discovers what has happened, he cries out bitterly for a blessing, while Isaac realizes that God’s sovereign will has overcome his own defiant plan. This sermon shows the difference between true repentance and mere remorse. Isaac trembles when he realizes he has resisted the will of God, but he submits to God’s plan and affirms that Jacob will be blessed. Esau, however, grieves what he has lost without truly mourning his sin. He blames Jacob, refuses to own his own choices, and allows hatred and vengeance to grow in his heart. The message asks a searching question for every listener: Do we grieve our sin before God, or do we only grieve the consequences our sin has brought? True repentance owns sin, stops shifting blame, and humbly submits to the will of God. This passage also points us to the gospel. Every one of us has sinned against a holy God and deserves His judgment. But God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to bear the punishment for sin on the cross. Through repentance and faith in Christ, sinners can be forgiven, made right with God, and given new life. Watch and be challenged to stop resisting God, own your sin, turn from it, and trust fully in Christ. Thank you for watching.
