THIS SUNDAY we continue The Gospel According to Jacob series by looking at Genesis 32. The message is entitled “Going to the Mat with God.” God goes toe-to-toe in an all-night wrestling match with Jacob and we’ll see 4 “moves” the Lord uses on Jacob and discover how he works in our lives today in those same ways. Invite a friend to join you!
