    God desires for us to wrestle with Him in order to shape us into the people He wants us to become

    I don’t have some clever fact or story or joke to start this sermon. Nothing can top the text itself: Genesis 32:22-32 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. After he had sent them across the stream, he sent ...read more

    Jacob’s Wrestling match with the man of God how it changed Jacob to Israel.

    Jacob the Wrestler Genesis 32:22 – 32:32 Today we’re going to look at Abraham’s grandson, Jacob. Unlike Abraham, who has a reputation for being a Godly man and doing the right thing, we must use different words to describe Jacob; words like shyster, liar, manipulator, cheater, ...read more

    In this strange wrestling match between Jacob and God, friends struggle with one another and the weaker overcomes the stronger. Find out how God used this wrestling match to help Jacob mature in his faith.

    Although I don’t watch pro-wrestling (my parents didn’t allow it lest I practice “piledrivers” on my little sister), I do get a kick out of the wrestlers’ names. There’s Junkyard Dog, Johnny Nitro, The Boogeyman, and The Big Show just to name a few. On our final episode of “Jake TV,” we’ll witness ...read more

    God will do whatever he must to make the vessel of his grace prepared to receive his grace.

    Read Psalm 34 to start the service Read Genesis Chapter 32. This is a story about coming to the end of yourself - so that God is finally free to work. It’s also a story about reconciliation. As a man, Jacob was still quite self sufficient, and he still retained much of the old nature in his life. ...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

    Here, God empties Jacob of his NATURAL effort and teaches Jacob to trust Him completely.

    What images come to mind when I mention the word wrestling? For some, it is an image of a High school wrestling match. Others happily envision Dad wrestling with his son. And a few of us think of the theater of “professional wrestling” with Iron Rings of death and tag team death ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 26 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 16, 2011
     | 3,305 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 32 We enter into chapter 32 and will see many new things in the life of Jacob. After the many experiences of Jacobs ...read more

    The Wrestling Match

    Contributed by James May on Aug 18, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,186 views

    Jacob wrestled with the Lord all night, until the breaking of the day. The lesson that many us need to learn is that we are all wrestlers, but the time must come when we must let God win or be lost. Our walk will forever be changed just as Jacob's was.

    The Wrestling Match By Rev. James May Jacob’s life had not been an easy one, but he had brought most of his problems upon himself. It had started from the moment he was conceived by Rebekah, after she became the wife of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham. Even in the womb there was a ...read more
