Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost Bible Readings Psalm 121 Luke 18:1-8 1 John 5:13–15 Worship Folder Pastor Paul A. Tullberg Sermon text: Genesis 32:22-40 22 He got up that night and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and he also sent his possessions across. 24 Jacob was left alone, and he wrestled with a man there until daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not defeat him, he touched the socket of his thigh, and the socket of Jacob's thigh was dislocated as he wrestled. 26 The man said, “Let me go. It's daybreak.” Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 Then he said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.” 28 Then he said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have fought with God and with men, and you have won.” 29 Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why do you ask what my name is?” Then he blessed him there. 30 Jacob named the place Peniel, because he said, “I have seen God face-to-face, and my life has been spared.” 31 The sun rose as he crossed over at Peniel, and he was limping because of his thigh. 32 For that reason, to this day the people of Israel do not eat the tendon of the hip that is on the socket of the thigh, because God touched the socket of Jacob's thigh on the tendon of the hip.

Ninteenth Sunday after Pentecost Old Testament: Genesis 32:22-31 22The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. 24Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.25When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26Then he said, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go, unless you bless me.” 27So he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28Then the man said, “You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with humans, and have prevailed.” 29Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved.” 31The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip. Psalm: Psalm 121 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills; *         from where is my help to come? 2 My help comes from the Lord, *         the maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot be moved *         and he who watches over you will not fall asleep. 4 Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel *         shall neither slumber nor sleep; 5 The Lord himself watches over you; *         the Lord is your shade at your right hand, 6 So that the sun shall not strike you by day, *         nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; *         it is he who shall keep you safe. 8 The Lord shall watch over your going out and                           your coming in, *         from this time forth for evermore. Epistle: 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it, 15and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work. 1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: 2proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. 3For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, 4and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths. 5As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully. Gospel: Luke 18:1-8 1Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. 2He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. 3In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.' 4For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, ‘Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.'” 6And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? 8I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Genesis 32:22a, 23b, 24-30 - The same night he [Jacob] arose and took his [family] and sent them across the stream …. And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.” Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”

On September 14th, 2025 Kris shared a powerful message about Bethel Church as a prophetic community and house of encounters. God named us "Bethel" for a purpose, just as Jacob encountered God at Bethel (the house of God) and Peniel (face to face with God), we're called to be a place where heaven opens and identities are transformed. When you come to Bethel, you don't just receive a prophetic word, you have an encounter that changes you into the person you need to be to fulfill your divine destiny.

The sermon explores the transformative encounter between Jacob and God at Peniel, emphasizing the necessity of wrestling with divine sovereignty to achieve spiritual maturity. Drawing from Genesis 32 and Hosea 12, it highlights Jacob's initial reliance on his own strength and ingenuity, contrasted with the ultimate need for brokenness and dependence on God's grace. The narrative underscores that true blessing arises not from self-sufficiency, but from a desperate clinging to God's promises, a posture of faith that allows for divine shaping and ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of God's character and purpose, exemplified by the renaming of Jacob to Israel, signifying a life marked by striving with God and prevailing through unwavering faith. 1.

“Wrestling and Blessing”Genesis 32:22-3222 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”“Jacob,” he answered.28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.30 So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob's hip was touched near the tendon.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “When Paul writes, ‘I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me' (Gal. 2:20), that is not an enthusiastic exaggeration but a measured assessment. It is not an expression of overstated rhetoric but of literal reality. At the core of their being, in the deepest recesses of who they are, in the ‘inner self' (2 Cor. 4:16), Christians will never be more resurrected, literally, than they already are. God has already done a work of resurrection in the believer, a resurrecting work that will never be undone.”~Richard Gaffin, In the Fullness of Time: An Introduction to the Biblical Theology of Acts and PaulSERMON PASSAGEGenesis 32:22-32 (ESV) 22 The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: Gênesis 31:19-21; 32:22-30 Plano De Leitura Anual: 2 Reis 10–12; João 1:29-51 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: Uma estatueta de madeira, um deus familiar, fora roubado e sua proprietária reportou o caso à polícia. Pensando terem encontrado o ídolo, os oficiais a chamaram para fazer o reconhecimento, perguntando-lhe: “Este é o seu deus?”. Ela respondeu, tristemente: “Não, meu deus é muito maior e mais bonito do que este”. Há tempos, muitos tentam dar forma ao conceito de divindade, esperando ser protegidos pelo deus que criaram. Talvez tenha ido por isso que Raquel, esposa de Jacó, “roubou os ídolos da casa que pertenciam a seu pai” quando fugiram de Labão (GÊNESIS 31:19). Mas a mão de Deus estava sobre Jacó, apesar da idolatria oculta (v.34). Nessa mesma viagem, Jacó lutou a noite inteira com “um homem” (32:24). Ele percebeu que seu oponente não era um simples ser humano e disse, ao nascer do dia: “Não o deixarei ir enquanto não me abençoar” (v.26). O homem mudou seu nome para Israel (Deus luta) e o abençoou (vv.28-29). Jacó chamou aquele lugar de Peniel (a face de Deus), pois disse: “Vi Deus face a face e, no entanto, minha vida foi poupada” (v.30). Este Deus, único e verdadeiro, é infinitamente maior e mais belo do que qualquer coisa que possamos imaginar. Ele não pode ser esculpido, roubado ou escondido. Porém, como Jacó descobriu, podemos nos aproximar dele! Jesus ensinou os Seus discípulos a chamar este Deus de “Pai nosso que estás no céu…” (MATEUS 6:9). Por: TIM GUSTAFSON

My daughter and I had not been back to that camp in the Tetons since she was a little girl, like five years old. We stayed there as a family way back then, because our good friends from college ran the camp. There she struck up a friendship with their five-year-old who's named Holly. Well, the camp has grown a lot over the years, and so have our daughters who are speeding through their lives. It was kind of fun for them to see each other again and Holly took my daughter for a little private tour of a bunk house that was there some years ago when we were there. They had to bend down for what Holly wanted to show her. But there it was, still decorating the wood, in living Crayola color, Holly's name in red crayon and my daughter's in blue Crayon; both written in distinctive penmanship that five-year-olds have, and both still there after all these years. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Lasting Mark of Life's Mistakes." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Genesis 32, beginning at verse 24. Jacob has been having a wrestling match with someone who turns out to be divine. And verse 24 says, "Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak." Finally the fight ends when that man touches the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with that man. Later, Jacob knows who he met there. He called the place Peniel, saying, "'It is because I saw God face-to-face, and yet my life was spared.' The sun rose above him as he had passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip." Jacob struggled with God. He'd actually wrestled with Him his whole life. But at this brook he goes for God's full blessing. God changes him from Jacob, the cheat, and He changes his name to Israel, Prince with God. The whole nation will be named after him. God forgives. God transforms Jacob, and He's still doing that with Jacobs today. But even though the struggle with God was over, Jacob carried a life-long reminder of his struggle - the limp. The sin was forgiven, the man was changed, but as happens so often, he'd struggled with God and that left a mark on him the rest of his life. Now, my daughter couldn't get over how long the marks had lasted for what she did many years ago. In a way, that's a picture of how sin is. Even though the sin is long behind us, long forgiven, often the consequences, the marks of our sin are there for years to come. Sin is cruel. You were once its slave, and you're free now but you still carry some of the scars of how your slave master treated you. You always will. We need to remember what sin does, because those scars, those lasting consequences will deter us from leaving God's ways again. Now, forgiveness comes quickly when we bring our sin to the cross of Jesus, but it doesn't come cheaply; it cost Him his life. But the ready availability of forgiveness should not make us forget the sometimes continuing consequences of sin - the limp that is there long after our struggle with God is behind us. I think of four Rs that explain some of the lasting marks of sin. Reputation - the damage to your reputation can last a long time. Regrets - there for years. Relationships that were damaged that are hard to repair. Recollection - the memories that just keep coming back. It's a sobering reminder to seriously count the cost before we take any spiritual detour. The scars of our past aren't all bad. Not if they remind us to stay away from sin because of its price tag. And it's wonderful to know that God has forever erased those sins from His book. You say, "Well, Ron, I'm not sure I've ever had that happen." Well, have you ever, in your heart, gone to His cross and said, "Jesus, You're dying for my sins there." If you've never put your life in His hands, do it now. You say, "Jesus, I'm yours." Our website is there to help you be sure you belong to Him. It's ANewStory.com. And the next time sin looks enticing and interesting, let's not forget what our daughter was so graphically reminded of, staring at the marks she made so many years ago. The marks still remain long after what we did to make the marks is over.

Your Daily Prayer

Passage: 9 And Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O Lord who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your kindred, that I may do you good,' 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. 11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, that he may come and attack me, the mothers with the children. 12 But you said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.'” 22 The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28 Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.” 29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.” (Genesis 32:9-12, 22-30 ESV) Song: I Surrender (https://open.spotify.com/track/13p3U002Sv8z722mFjTuWi?si=2de2e578d94b40e6) by David Leonard, Jason Ingram, Leslie Jordan Lyrics: The riches of this world will fade The treasures of our God remain Here I empty myself to owe this world nothing And find ev'rything in You I surrender I surrender I surrender all to You Take my life a sacrifice In You alone I'm satisfied Here I empty myself to owe this world nothing And find ev'rything in You Oh oh ev'rything in You Not my will but Yours be done Not my strength but Yours alone Nothing else but You O Lord I find ev'rything in You Prayer: Spirit of Christ… Make me strong, not with the strength of recklessness, but with that strength which comes from an increased burden of care. Inspire me with your sacrificial love, and I shall be a stranger to selfish fear; I shall have the courage to dare all things when I am made a captain in your band. Amen.  -George Matheson

The Alter: God's operating table. #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Altar: God's Operating Table "And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony..." - Exodus 25:22 KJV Throughout history, altars have served as sacred meeting places between God and humanity - points of divine intersection where transformation occurs. Just as a surgeon's table represents the place where healing and necessary change take place, God's altar is where our spiritual surgery happens. Consider Abraham on Mount Moriah. When he laid Isaac on the altar, it wasn't just his son being offered - Abraham himself was being transformed. His understanding of God, his faith, and his very identity underwent a profound change. The altar became the place where his ultimate surrender led to his greatest revelation. In our modern context, we often shy away from altar experiences, preferring comfortable pews to places of sacrifice. Yet, the altar remains God's chosen place for divine surgery. It's where our old nature meets divine scalpel, where our weaknesses encounter His strength, and where our limited understanding gives way to His infinite wisdom. King David understood this principle when he declared, "I will not offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing" (2 Samuel 24:24 KJV). True transformation always comes at a cost - the cost of our pride, our self-sufficiency, and our personal agendas. The altar experience isn't meant to be comfortable. Like surgery, it may involve pain, but this pain leads to healing. When Jacob wrestled with God at Peniel, he left with both a limp and a blessing. The altar changed him so thoroughly that even his name was transformed from Jacob to Israel. Today's churches sometimes emphasize comfort over transformation, creating spaces where we can observe without being observed, hear without being heard, and attend without being attended to by the Great Physician. But just as a hospital without operating rooms fails its primary purpose, a church without active altars risks becoming merely a spiritual social club. The invitation remains: Will you come to the altar? Will you allow the divine Surgeon to perform His perfect work? Remember, it's at the altar where our lives are not merely altered - they are transformed. Prayer: Lord, give us the courage to approach Your altar, knowing that while transformation may not be comfortable, it is essential for our spiritual health and growth. Help us understand that Your altar is not a place of destruction, but of divine reconstruction. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Jacob Wrestles with God 32.22 The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28 Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.” 29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.” 31 The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the people of Israel do not eat the sinew of the thigh that is on the hip socket, because he touched the socket of Jacob's hip on the sinew of the thigh.

Global Christmas - Peniel Ministries

In this episode of the K League United Podcast, we head south to Gwangyang and Busan Metropolitan City because it's time to look ahead to what is essentially K League's 'wild card' match. The playoffs are here, starting with Jeonnam Dragons and Busan IPark trying to leave the K League 2 Party. How rude of them... Invited to the party is Mister Ryan Walters, a guest of honour, you could say, as KLU wouldn't exist without the "mighty" Dragons of Jeonnam, to look at what this playoff campaign means for Jeonnam after what has been their sixth season in K League 2, what the future might hold for the club, what he thinks about the visit of Busan IPark on Thursday, which former Dragon he'd like to see breath fire into this team, and much more.  Not only that but Paul speaks with Busan IPark striker Peniel Mlapa about his move to K League, his sudden departure from Daejeon, the quirky playoff rules in K League, what particular quality might give Busan the edge, and much more.

Genesis 32 continues the story of Jacob as he prepares to meet his estranged brother, Esau, after years of separation. This chapter reveals Jacob's fear, his dependence on God, and a profound spiritual transformation. As Jacob continues his journey, he is met by angels of God. Recognizing this as a sign of divine presence, he names the place Mahanaim, meaning “two camps,” symbolizing his camp and God's camp. Jacob sends messengers to Esau in the land of Seir, hoping to reconcile after deceiving him years ago. The messengers return with news that Esau is approaching with 400 men, which terrifies Jacob. He divides his camp into two groups, thinking that if Esau attacks one, the other might escape. Jacob turns to God in prayer, acknowledging God's past faithfulness and His promises to bless Jacob and make his descendants numerous. He pleads for protection from Esau, fearing that he and his family will be destroyed. To appease Esau, Jacob prepares a generous gift of livestock, sending them in successive waves to meet Esau. He instructs his servants to tell Esau that the gifts are from “your servant Jacob,” emphasizing humility and seeking favor. That night, Jacob sends his family and possessions across the Jabbok River, remaining alone. A mysterious man wrestles with Jacob until daybreak. When the man sees he cannot overpower Jacob, he touches Jacob's hip, dislocating it. Jacob refuses to let go until he receives a blessing. The man renames him Israel, meaning “he struggles with God,” because he has wrestled with God and humans and prevailed. Jacob names the place Peniel, meaning “face of God,” acknowledging that he has seen God face to face and survived. As the sun rises, Jacob crosses the river, now walking with a limp due to his hip injury. This physical reminder symbolizes his spiritual transformation and reliance on God. Genesis 32 emphasizes Jacob's fear of Esau and his unresolved guilt. However, his practical preparations and prayer show his growth in wisdom and dependence on God. Jacob acknowledges his unworthiness and pleads for deliverance, modeling humility in times of crisis. His actions—offering gifts and addressing Esau with humility—highlight the importance of reconciliation. The wrestling match symbolizes Jacob's spiritual transformation and surrender to God, leading to his new identity as “Israel.” This chapter ultimately showcases God's faithfulness, demonstrating that divine promises endure despite human frailty.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

John 19:29–30 (ESV) A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Jesus WAS before He was BORNHe Existed Before He Was Born - John 8:53–59 (ESV) Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?” Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.' But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.He Died Before He Was Born - Revelation 13:8 (KJV) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.Christophanies/Theophanies In The Old Testament - The Angel of The Lord // The Angel, The Lord, allows himself to be worshiped.He Is Credited For Creation - Colossians 1:15–17 (ESV) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth and said, “O Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant.He Wrestled Jacob - Genesis 32:30 (ESV) So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”He Spoke Out Of The Burning Bush To Moses - Exodus 3:4 (ESV) When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”He Appeared to Joshua - Joshua 5:13-15 as the commander of the army of the Lord before the battle of Jericho.He Appeared to Gideon in Judges 6:11-24 as an angel, speaking on behalf of God.He Appeared to King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 3:25 as one like a son of God, walking with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace.He Appeared To Isaiah in Isaiah 6:1-8 when he saw a vision of God on his throne.He Appeared To Ezekiel - el throughout his book through various visions and encounters with God's glory.JESUS Was Born Fully MAN*Philippians 2:5–8 (ESV) Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.Set divinity asideHe had access but refrained.Limitations of all menBaby, vulnerableGrew in status with menTired, weary, hungry, frustrated, angryJesus' Power Came From The Holy SpiritIf Jesus was just a man, where did his power come from?Luke 3:21–22 (ESV) Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”When Jesus Did Miracles, He Wasn't “Proving Who He Was” Or “Showing Off.” He Simply Recognized Things Out Of Alignment With Heaven And Demonstrated “How To!”Your Power Comes From The Same Spirit - Romans 8:11 (ESV) If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.Was Tempted, Suffered And Crucified In Every Way By/For Sin.We are tempted/sin in every way - Body, Soul SpiritWe SIN on all Levels Jesus Suffered On All Levels, For Our SinBody - John 19:16–18 (ESV) So he delivered him over to them to be crucified.

You don't have to be ________________ to be used for God's purpose. [Genesis 25:22-26] But the two children struggled with each other in her womb. So she went to ask the LORD about it. "Why is this happening to me?" she asked. [23] And the LORD told her, "The sons in your womb will become two nations. From the very beginning, the two nations will be rivals. One nation will be stronger than the other; and your older son will serve your younger son." [24] And when the time came to give birth, Rebekah discovered that she did indeed have twins! [25] The first one was very red at birth and covered with thick hair like a fur coat. So they named him Esau. [26] Then the other twin was born with his hand grasping Esau's heel. So they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born. Our instincts are ___________-first not ___________-first. [Matthew 19:30 NIV] But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first. Putting yourself ________________ never brings true ________________. [Luke 9:25 NIV] What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? Who you are is more ________________ than what you ________________. [Genesis 27:19-27] Jacob replied, "It's Esau, your firstborn son. I've done as you told me. Here is the wild game. Now sit up and eat it so you can give me your blessing." [20] Isaac asked, "How did you find it so quickly, my son?" "The LORD your God put it in my path!" Jacob replied. You may be able to fool ________________ but you can't fool ________________. [Genesis 32:24-30 NIV] So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. [25] When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. [26] Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." [27] The man asked him, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered. [28] Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome." [29] Jacob said, "Please tell me your name." But he replied, "Why do you ask my name?" Then he blessed him there. [30] So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, "It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared." Hold onto God even when you're ________________.

What is Your Name A Sermon by Dr. Michael Caparrelli, founder of Unmuted, giving those who were victimized by traumatic experiences their voices back. We harbor deep aspirations for transformation Jacob is a poser, Genesis 27:18-19 Jacob is a pleaser, Genesis 27:30 Genesis 32:22-32 ESV Jacob Wrestles with God  22 The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28 Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.” 29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.” 31 The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the people of Israel do not eat the sinew of the thigh that is on the hip socket, because he touched the socket of Jacob's hip on the sinew of the thigh.   For more information about Victory Church visit our website, www.victorychurchri.com or our Facebook page
