Wrestling with God

Wrestling with God is a message from Genesis 32:22–32 that connects Jacob’s midnight struggle to the meaning of Christmas: Immanuel—“God with us.” 

In the dirt and dust of real life, God doesn’t keep His distance—He comes near, meets us face-to-face, and refuses to abandon us. 

If you’ve ever felt stretched, stuck, or worn down, Jacob’s story is for you. This sermon explores how God can use even painful seasons to break our self-reliance, remake our identity, and draw us into deeper dependence on Him—until blessing comes, even if we walk away limping.
