    In the darkness, which we all feel at times, Jacob wrestles with God. He asks for assurances of blessing (which he already had), but instead, he gets God! Jesus also wrestles in the garden, giving up control, and God raises him from the dead.

    WRESTLING WITH GOD—Genesis 32 (Children’s Message: afraid of the dark?) Are you afraid of the dark—or the darkness? Maybe the darkness is in the hospital, or a war zone, or you found yourself jobless or on the edge of bankruptcy. Maybe the darkness was anguish over children, or marital ...read more

    Have you ever wrested with the Lord?

Jacob was a man who struggled with man, and wrestled with God ( Remember, he did not struggle with God) Today, we may have many of us who are Jacob's , ...read more

    Jacob needed to deepen his relationship with God. He also needed an object lesson that would teach him some things about the way he related to God. Because Jacob needed a change. Most of us need that too, both the lesson and often the change.

    Peniel was a place where Jacob reached brokenness. He lost all self-sufficiency and depended completely on God. This was a time for Jacob of genuine soul searching and spiritual struggle. It was also a significant time of knowing God’s grace.

    A profession of faith in Christ is not an end in itself. It is the beginning of a pilgrimage. Along the way there will be defining moments and spiritual highlights. For Jacob his defining moment was at Peniel. The meaning of Peniel is the face of God. Peniel was a place where Jacob reached ...read more

    Como en el caso de Jacob, puedes tener tu experiencia más importante con Dios cuando estás en tu angustia más intensa. Es parte de su proceso de santificación de llegar a ser más como Cristo.

    Una profesión de fe en Cristo no es un fin en sí misma. Es el comienzo de una peregrinación. A lo largo del camino habrá momentos decisivos y momentos espirituales destacados. Para Jacob su momento decisivo fue en Peniel. El significado de Peniel es el rostro de Dios. Peniel ...read more

    This morning, I invite you to consider with me, “How do people actually have a life-changing encounter?” Is it near death experience that causes us to change? What would cause you to change?

    We continue our series, My Crazy Family, the story of Jacob. Jacob is a complex character – we would say in our day, “He’s a piece of work.” Jacob’s life is a Russian nesting doll with one conflict inside conflict inside yet another, conflict. What begins as a conflict with his twin brother Esau, ...read more
