Isaac & Rebekah
Bible Verses: Genesis 21, 24, 25
Key Point: Despite receiving a family legacy and being directed by decisions beyond our control, we must still find our own faith and our purpose for being alive
The nature of an OT blessing:
God’s dominion – bigger “flow” to life
Family acceptance – my place
Message of value – accompanied by meaningful touch
Future hope – despite current circumstances
Call to fulfill a purpose and destiny –that goes beyond my life
[cf. Smalley & Trent, The Blessing, Pocket Books, 1986]
1st person re-telling of the journey of faith

In what ways have you experienced the burden of a spiritual legacy?
When have you felt vulnerable, helpless, bound?
How are you seeking God’s blessing that will give you purpose and meaning for your life?
