This sermon reflects on the successful launch of a Thursday night service designed to engage a younger generation that is often suspicious of institutional religion. It introduces a new series on relationships by examining the biblical story of Isaac's dysfunctional family and the lifelong conflict between his sons, Jacob and Esau. Dr. Passavant cautions that while desires and dreams are healthy for a relationship, allowing them to transform into rigid demands and expectations can be destructive to a marriage.
