    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Aug 28, 2015
     | 9,320 views

    Our mission from God is bigger than what we come up with on our own. This sermon is specific to our church's mission, but applicable on a broader scale.

    Intro: (MI theme plays on video for a minute as I come up) Good morning, Mr. Phelps… That’s how the tape would always begin in the old MI shows. (I guess it was always in the morning.) Then, the voice on the tape would explain to Peter Graves the impossible mission he was being ...read more

    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.

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
