Rightfully Mine!

Summary

This sermon explores the story of Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, highlighting the personal encounter with the divine resulting in a new name and identity as Israel. Key to the narrative is Jacob's persistent demand for a blessing and his ultimate strength in "struggling with God and with humans and overcoming." The practical takeaway is that our struggles, even those that leave us wounded, can lead to a divine encounter where we receive what is rightfully ours from God.
