Jacob lived much of his life as a deceiver and manipulator, attempting to control outcomes in his way and his timing with little regard to God or others. The same can be said of any of us. This is what makes the grace of God so beautiful and mysterious. Join Pastor Tommy as we study Genesis 32 and witness the pursuing, wounding and renovating grace of God at work in the life of Jacob as he begins his return home 20 years after fleeing from his brother Esau.
