Same Sin, Different Ends
We return this Sunday to the story of Jacob and Esau in Genesis 27:41–28:9, where the consequences of sin finally tear the covenant family apart. Both brothers face the fallout of their sinful choices—one inside the covenant and the other outside the covenant. As we consider the consequences of their sins, we will be reminded that while everyone battles sin, not everyone bears its final weight. As we watch Jacob flee in fear and Esau grasp for his father’s approval, the text confronts us with a sobering truth: the wages of sin is always death. But Scripture also holds out a deeper hope—not every sinner will die, because God Himself provides a Savior who bears the consequences for our sins. Join us this Lord’s Day as we consider the difference God’s covenant mercy makes in the life of a sinner, and how His grace blesses us even in the messes we make. Soli Deo Gloria!
Big Idea: The wages of sin is death, but not every sinner will die.
1. The consequences of sin inside the covenant
2. The consequences of sin outside the covenant
