Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Traditional)
What does it take for God to break through our striving hearts?
In this sermon, Rev. Jordan Griesbeck reflects on Genesis 32:22–31, where Jacob wrestles with God and emerges wounded, blessed, and changed forever. Through Jacob’s grasp, his wound, and his blessing, we discover that God often meets us in struggle — not to defeat us, but to transform us.
Whether you’ve been striving for success, approval, or love, this passage reminds us that what we’re truly reaching for is God Himself.
