Wrestling with the Lord

January 27, 2013 Speaker: Fred Greco Series: Genesis

Topic: AM Service Passage: Genesis 32:22–32:22

Jacob is about to meet his brother Esau, in what he thinks will be the greatest struggle of his life. But the Lord knows better - that the real struggle for Jacob is to give up self-sufficiency and wholly trust in the Lord. And God is about to teach that to Jacob, face-to-face, at Peniel!
