    Becoming A Blessed Community

    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

    Father Dave’s Sermon on wrestling with God. Real growth experiences always involve struggle and pain. And so Jacob, at the turning point of his life, wrestles all night with a dark and shadowy figure by the river Jabbok. He struggles. He fights. He is wo

    "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.

    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

    If you’re a person of faith, you are a person in process. It’s process guided by the Holy Spirit, of course, and what he’s doing is -- he’s transforming you from building your life around yourself to building it around God.

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 26 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 16, 2011
     | 3,061 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

    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

    In this series of messages we focus on cultivating a thankful heart and enemies that present themselves to prevent us from being truly Thankful people. This Message speaks about the enemy of "Entitlement."

    Thanksgiving is more than a day! I have often approached this time of the year with a little bit of remorse with regard to the attention that we I have given to the Subject of thanksgiving.
