Teacher: Brian Larson Series: Video Blog Topic: Genesis Scripture: Genesis 32:24-29

During a fitful and fearful night as Jacob journeyed with his family back to Canaan after 20 years away, in Genesis chapter 32, he spends the night alone, wrestling with "a Man" who was none other than the pre-incarnate Jesus. Pastor Brian Larson here explains the significance of this passage, and encourages believers to stop "wrestling" with God, instead admit our weaknesses and sin, and submit fully to God.
