Teacher: Mandi Paszek 

Text: Genesis 32:22-32 NIV 

In the final sermon of our series on the life of Jacob, Mandi Paszek explores how Jacob’s life of striving and manipulation finally reaches a turning point when he wrestles with God in Genesis 32. Through this unexpected encounter, Jacob's struggle becomes a path to redemption; God redefines his identity, gives him a new name, and leaves him marked by the transformation. It’s a profound reminder that wrestling with God–bringing our raw emotions and deep desires to Him–can lead to healing, new life, and a deeper trust in God’s promises.
