God With Us in Our Brokenness
Preacher: Cord Carlin Series: Advent Series: Shadows of Emmanuel Scripture: Genesis 32:3–31, Genesis 33:8–11
Takeaway: What would you expect to happen if God came face to face with an opportunistic, selfish deceiver? During Advent, we celebrate Emmanuel, which means "God with us". This isn't merely an idea that appears in the New Testament; Emmanuel was both promised and experienced in the Old Testament. In Genesis 32, Jacob encountered a mysterious God-Man who wrestled him and dislocated his hip. This passage has been interpreted throughout history as a paradigm for spiritual growth. How and why is Jacob blessed? How can you be blessed by the God-Man, Emmanuel?
