In this episode we explore Genesis 36 as more than a list of names, seeing Esau’s worldly success and the long fallout of his choices, and we call one another to live for a better homeland. We tie genealogies to today’s decisions about money, contentment, endurance, and hope in Christ.

• why Moses includes Esau’s genealogy and why it matters
• Esau’s “trophy case” and the danger of winning the wrong game
• how Amalek, Edom, and Haman reveal long-term consequences
• living as temporary residents with eyes on eternity
• Hebrews 11 and seeking a better homeland God prepares
• applying eternity to money, possessions, and generosity
• contentment in Christ vs the churn of consumer desire
• Revelation 21 and thinking about heaven to fuel endurance
• Moses choosing reproach over Egypt’s treasures for future reward
• fighting the good fight and finishing well with hope

This week we trace two “perplexing” lines in Genesis 35:11 and follow them from Eden to Bethel to the cross to a global church. We wrestle with messy sons, a faithful God, and how “be fruitful and multiply” becomes everyday disciple making.

• creation mandate echoed in Genesis 35 and clarified in Christ
• the Seed as the true blessing to the nations
• one nation giving rise to an assembly of nations in Jesus
• true circumcision as the heart’s work by the Spirit
• repentance, new identity, and mission as the biblical pattern
• practical fruitfulness in family life and disciple making
• blessed to be a blessing across cultures and generations
