    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,853 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

    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

    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

    What Is Your Name

    Discovering your name sometimes requires experiences of dark nights and aloneness. God must test our behaviour. He pushes us to see things that are not good for us, things that must change. He loves us far to much to leave us to our destructive behaviour

    The unknown author of the following story captures the value of a name. “After the American Civil War the managers of the infamous Louisiana Lottery approached Robert E.

    "Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

    Are You Ready To Be Blessed Series

    based on 44 ratings
     | 30,746 views

    Everyone wants to be blessed, but are they ready to be blessed. Everyone wants to have stuff, but to be blessed is not about stuff but being equipped with power to be victorious.

    “Are you ready to be Blessed” “The Jabbok Experience” Gen. 32:22-32 Are you ready to be blessed? This may seem like a rhetorical question because there isn’t anyone that doesn’t want to be blessed. If you don’t believe that just stop for a moment and listen around Christiandom.
