Many of us try to white-knuckle our way through life, not willing to let go. Jacob wrestled God all night and walked away wounded, blessed, renamed. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller reveals how brokenness became Jacob's breakthrough. Discover why the limp he carried the rest of his life was grace he'd been seeking.
This is part three of the sermon, "Jacob: Seeking Significance Through Power."
