Pain at Peniel

Road Trip

We all have "things" in our lives - habits or personality quirks - we know aren't good. But we excuse them as "just the way I am". In this story of the greatest wrestling match of all time, we see that God will not allow us to stay as we are. God will transform us - even if it hurts!

From Series: "Road Trip"

This Summer, we take a road trip through the Old Testament. Along the way, we stop in with some of the more famous encounters and observe how their brief encounters changed their lives.

We ended 2012 in the Revelation, exploring how Jesus’ coming into our lives is the End of the World as we know it. But if Jesus’ coming is the End, it’s also a new beginning. Jesus’ death and resurrection reconnect us with God, open up a world that has been lost to us since Sin entered into the world. So to kick off 2013, we’re going to dive into Genesis 1-2. We’ll explore God’s original intentions for the world, and the implications for our new life in Jesus. After all, in the new year, it’s good to get the First Things First!
