    This sermon uses the story of Jacob fighting the angel of Yahweh to show how we as Christians should strive for God’s blessing.

    This morning we are going to look at the life of a man who was nothing more than a deceiver. We are going to examine his life, to learn how his life changed for the better. We are going to find out how Jacob received a blessing from God that completely changed his life. This morning I pray that ...read more

    Every man has a "Jacob" in him and an "Esau" they are running from. This sermon gives powerful & direct insight into the things Men and Women to a lesser degree wrestle with.

    Tonight….We Wrestle! - By Minister Russell M. Rillie Genesis 32:24-32 As a boy, I would love to get up on Saturday mornings, turn to channel 9 about 10 am & watch wrestling.

    Walk With A Limp, Hands Up Who's Perfect?

    Contributed by Richard Francis on May 10, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 13,225 views

    When you encounter God do not expect to walk away the same, pray to walk with a limp as Jacob did and live in the promise and purpose God has for your life

    What is it with God? It never ceases to amaze me the type of people God uses for great purpose I would have expected the most gifted, handsome, athletic, warrior, intellectual and generally those that reflected his perfection to project that “Look at me I’m right with God” persona to make us all ...read more

    Jacob became Israel, in this story are the keys to being blessed by God

    Intro: the story of Jacob becoming Israel is one of the most fascinating in the Bible. Up until this point, Jacob seemingly had done everything his own way. He was a deceiver, he had basically cheated his way through life. But the story of Jacob becoming Israel is based on God’s love, and God’s ...read more

    The best thing that a person can do is to surrender to God - give up control, surrender the glory, yield your independence to God.

    Two hundred years after Christ, China’s Han Dynasty began its ruthless conquest of neighboring territories. During a particular battle, an enemy soldier, knowing he was defeated, stripped off part of his shirt and waved it in the air. It was an act of surrender – thus began the tradition of ...read more

    This is a sermon that begs the question... who’s will are we REALLY following?

    Genesis 32:22-32 22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. ...read more
