Envy is a poison that effects us all. When we look at others and their appearances, success, and influence, it’s far too easy to compare ourselves and grow envious. The envy we are prone to feeling robs of God’s joy, and takes our eyes away from him. Therefore, we should look to God and not ourselves for all that we’ve been given and blessed with.

An Unlikely Reunion // Genesis 33

August 11, 2024 • Nathan Elizondo • Genesis 33

Jacob’s life is full of ups and downs. When we take a close look at his reunion with Esau, we see that experiences with God do not make us perfect, we all have indwelling sin to kill, and we can rest in God’s sovereignty through our spiritual highs and lows.

God Blesses the Broken // Genesis 32:22-32

August 4, 2024 • Lorenzo Elizondo • Genesis 32:22–32

Pain and suffering is often God’s way of grabbing our attention. In this passage, we see the pre-incarnate Christ wrestle with Jacob and leaving Jacob with the mark of a walking limp. Although we fight against our struggles with God, blessings often follow. The example shown to us in the life of Jacob ultimately points us to Jesus on the cross. Despite the grim and dark nature of his death, the hope and blessing of the resurrection followed shortly after.
