The Gathering Sermons

The Reunion

Series: Genesis

Preacher: Gabriel Wong

Sunday Worship Service

Date: 8th November 2026

Passage: Genesis 33:1-20

-------------------

Facing unresolved conflict can bring deep fear and distress, but as we step out to face those we have wronged or who have hurt us, we discover that God has already gone before us with His grace. In Genesis 33, Jacob finally stepping forward to face Esau after twenty years of fear, discovering that God’s grace had gone before him to turn a long-feared confrontation into a tearful reunion. Through their encounter, true reconciliation is shown and begins when God humbles our hearts, enabling us to surrender our self-reliance and reflect the extraordinary mercy Jesus has shown to us.

Passage: Genesis 32:1-32

-------------------

Drawing from Genesis 32, we explore how facing our deepest uncertainties requires us to step into the dark, quiet places alone to do business with God.

Passage: Genesis 30:25-31:55

-------------------

Human self-reliance, deceit, and self-righteousness all stem from the moment we lose our reverence and trust in God, leading us to rely on our own schemes and "pocket gods" to secure our lives. Yet this time, Genesis 30-31 told us that even in the midst of our flaws and manipulation, our ultimate hope and security are found not in our own efforts, but in the overwhelming faithfulness and sovereign grace of God.
