I. OPENING PRAYER

II. WORSHIP SONG: Do not give up https://www.youtu.be/uJ6JQEPADsA

III. MOTIVATION:
Let the Kids bring five coins. Set three cups upside down in front of you. As kids watch, place a
die or small ball under one of the cups. Explain that you’re going to move the cups around to try
to confuse them about where the object is.

Quickly slide the cups around. After a few seconds, stop. Tell the kids to place a coin infront of
the cup that they think the object is under.

Then, reveal what cup the object is under,keep playing until all the students are out of markers.

Afterward, explain that the game is meant to trick them. It’s not a fair game because it’s too
difficult to keep track of which cup the object is under.

****************************************************************************************************
Rebekah couldn’t have children for a few years after she married Isaac. But Isaac
prayed that she would have children, and God eventually let Rebekah have twin boys.
The first boy was named Esau and he grew up to be a big, strong hunter. He was also
very hairy. The second boy was named Jacob and he liked to stay at home. Isaac liked
to eat the food Esau hunted, so Esau was Isaac’s favorite. But Jacob was Rebekah’s
favorite.

Once, when Esau went out hunting for a long time, he didn’t catch anything. He finally
gave up and came back home because he was so hungry. Jacob was cooking some
stew and Esau said, “Jacob, give me some of that red stew you’re cooking! I’m so
hungry, I’m about to die.”

Jacob said, “Okay, but first you have to give me your birthright.”

What do you think a birthright is?

The birthright is the privilege that the oldest child in a family got back then. When the
parents in a family died, the oldest child inherited most of the money and became the
leader of the family.

Do you think Jacob should have asked for Esau’s birthright? Should he have asked for
Esau to give him most of the family money and make him the leader of the family
instead of Esau when their parents died?

What should Jacob have done instead?

He should have let Esau have some food if he was hungry. God wants us to help each
other without being greedy for something in return.

But Esau said, “You can have the birthright. Just give me some food. I’m about to die.”
So, Esau gave Jacob his birthright, and Jacob gave him some stew.

A few years later, Isaac was very old and he was blind. “Esau!” he called.

Esau came and said, “Here I am, father.”

“Esau,” Isaac said, “go hunt me some food and I will bless you before I die.”

So Esau went hunting, but Rebekah called Jacob to her and said, “Put some of Esau’s
clothes on and cook some food for your father and go in and act like you’re Esau so
your father will bless you instead of Esau. Your father won’t know that you’re not Esau
because he is blind and can’t see who you really are.”

“But what if my father touches me?” Jacob asked. “Esau is hairy and I’m not. If my
father touches me and feels that I’m not hairy, he’ll know that I’m trying to trick him and
he will curse me instead of blessing me.”

So Rebekah put goat hair on Jacob’s hands and on his neck so that he would feel hairy
and would trick Isaac.

Do you think Jacob should try to trick Isaac?

Do you think the trick will work?

Jacob went in and gave Isaac the food he had made. “I hunted this food for you, father,”
Jacob lied. “Now please give me your blessing.”

“How did you hunt the food so quickly?” Isaac asked.

“God helped me find it,” Jacob answered.

“Come here and let me touch you,” Isaac said. Jacob let his father touch his hands and
Isaac said, “You sound like Jacob, but you feel hairy like Esau. I guess you really are
Esau.” Then, Isaac said, “Here is my blessing for you: God will give you lots of food and
you will be the ruler of your brother.”

Then Jacob left and Esau came in. “I’m back, father,” Esau said. “I hunted you some
food and now you can give me your blessing.”
Then, Isaac realized what had happened. “Your brother came,” Isaac said, “and tricked
me. I already gave him the blessing. I gave him lots of food and made him ruler over
you.”

“What about me?” Esau cried. “Bless me too!”

Then Isaac said, “Jacob will be your ruler, but eventually, you will break free from him.”

Esau went back out and said, “Jacob has done two things wrong to me. He took my
birthright when I was so hungry and now he’s stolen my blessing, too. When my father,
Isaac, dies, I will kill my brother, Jacob, for what he has done to me.”

Rebekah heard Esau say that he was going to kill Jacob, so Rebekah went and told
Jacob, “You have to run away from here because Esau is going to kill you.” So Jacob
ran away from home.

Why did Jacob have to run away?

He was afraid. He did some mean things to his brother, Esau, so Esau wanted to kill
him.

Ask the kids :

1. What did Esau wants from Jacob? ( V30, Red stew)

2. What did the stew cost Esau? (V31, Birthright)
3. Why did Esau sell his birthright? (V32)
4. Why do you think Jacob wanted Esau’s birthright?

Summary of the Lesson with Application :

The life of Jacob and Esau will help you begin to understand how God created you with
a special purpose. Consider how our personality, life situation and weaknesses may be
a part of a bigger plan to do something great to fulfill God’s plan. Learn to be wise in
making decision and never cheat or lie do what is right and pleasing God.
Ask anyone from your family, friends and loved ones that you hurt, cheat and lie, say
“sorry” and ask forgiveness, pray for them.
