Genesis 32:6-13, 23-32
Through an examination of Jacob's struggles in the book of Genesis, this sermon encourages Christians to trust the great promises of God over against self-reliance. Within this context, Jacob's limp offers an example of the ways human vulnerability and God's grace make it possible for each human person to be a place where heaven and earth can meet. This capacity calls us away from wrestling with earthly circumstances toward God's miraculous provision.
