This sermon focuses on the story of Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32. Pastor Mason emphasizes that it's okay to wrestle with God. In fact, he initiates the wrestling match, not Jacob. Jacob lived relying on himself more than God because of the lies and deception that filled his life. But just like Jacob, God needs us alone and empty before we can wrestle with the thing we’ve been running from! The purpose of this match is not so we can win, but so we can submit. Jacob comes to a place where he is no longer holding on to fight, but fighting for God not to leave him. Wrestling with God is not a bad thing, it helps us realize God’s will and gets us to a place of pure dependence on Him.
