Elementary Lesson • Week 4 of 4

Family game night can get messy when people play favorites or don’t treat each other fairly. This week, we’ll hear how Jacob and Esau’s family had their own set of problems, like trickery, favoritism, and jealousy. But God’s plan for them was bigger than their mistakes, and the same goes for us because we’re all welcome in God’s family.

BIG IDEA: We’re all welcome in God’s family.
