    How Bad Do You Want It!

    To let the people know that you need to want to the promises of God bad enough, that you will be broken down just to be blessed.

    We find that Jacob has a problem he is between a rock and hard place. Because his uncle Laban is behind him and his brother whom he tricked is about to approach him. And he does not know what to do. You see he is on his way to meet Esau for the first time in some twenty years after he stole ...read more

    Being alone with God changes you. Jacob had been through enough, he wanted change. He was willing to encounter God as a result.

    INTRO: This last week have you had an opportunity to spend time with your best friend? That is God. Do you know something? He’s been waiting for you to spend some time with him.

    The whole experience of PRAYER is not to wrestle with God over our demands, but to know the heart of the One who seek to bless us and call us to a higher purpose in life, and help us understand our utter dependence on Him for success.

    This picture of Jacob wrestling with a God-man can be considered as one of the most bizarre encounter in the Bible. • He was all alone, having sent his family and all his possessions across the stream. • It was in the night, and he wrestled with this God-man until daybreak. Many see him as a hero ...read more

    Sometimes, the only way that we can get the answer to our prayer is to get alone with God and wrestle long enough to get the victory.

    GOING ONE ON ONE WITH GOD By Pastor Jim May How many of you love being in a crowd? I suppose the answer to that question would depend upon what we are calling a “crowd”. For some folks, a crowd consists of anything more than 2 people. For others, the more people there are, the happier they ...read more

    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

    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
