    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

    How Jacob obtained the promise AFTER he struggled.

    As I was watching television the other day I saw an interesting commercial for Dick Devos who is a candidate for governor here in the State of Michigan this year. It was interesting to me because of the angle he took. It wasn’t really a plea for people to vote for him. He didn’t have a laundry ...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

    This sermon is actually a testimony of our experince as my wife and I answered God’s call to be missionaries.

    Jacob's Final Transformation Series

    After Jacob gave his heart to God, and saw the Lord change his character, there was a point where God needed to break Jacob so that he would be fully devoted. God does that in our lives as well - what does it mean?

    You give your heart to the Lord - saying "I’m yours, be my Lord and Savior." Then the Father begins a process of transformation. The Apostle Paul put it this way: "being transformed into His image with ever increasing glory" (1 Cor 3:18). That transformation process often involves the tearing ...read more

    Jacob found himself in a tough spot and alone when the Angel of the Lord came and wrestled with him. Are we willing to put ourselves in a position for an encounter with God?

    n Jacob was a man who had always done things his way and he was the kind of person who wanted to be in charge and know how things were going to play out. n How many times do we get in that same place with God? We know what we are used to and we know what we expect and don’t want to see that ...read more

    "Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. (25) When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.

    Are You Ready To Be Blessed Series

    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. Everyone is ...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.

After he had sent them across the stream, he sent ...read more

    What Is Your Name

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Oct 2, 2008

    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.
