When we look at God for who he is: the sovereign Lord over all, it becomes clear that everything is truly about him. We are not the end all be all, he is. Therefore, he is the source of all things, and we are the instruments that he chooses to use. Because God uses us in this way, we can see his goodness in that he uses the small things to complete his perfect plan.

August 18, 2024 • Richard Cantu • Genesis 34

As Jacob’s rollercoaster of a life continues, we see the ongoing sin of trying to help God with his plan. The results are often bad, and in Jacob’s case, destructive and painful.

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.
