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.

Too often, we think faith is about winning – getting our way in the culture or in our homes. But during Lent, we’ll trace the human journey through the Old Testament and see that getting what we want never works out like we hope. We’ll see how Jesus enters into our failure and becomes a loser just like us. Somehow, his failure is good news for us.

It turns out God is for losers, which is good news for all us failures.
