God over all

There is nothing in this world can thwart the sovereign work of God. This means that in our accomplishments, failures, struggles, and success are all part of God’s plan. This is made clear throughout the entire Bible and is put on full display in the birth of Isaac. Our prayer should be to rest in God’s sovereign hand in our life rather than resist it when things get difficult.

God’s Plan is Always at Work

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.
