You look at other people—the ones who seem to have all the answers and all the faith—and you wonder:
- Why do I keep trying to take control instead of trusting Him?
- Am I truly saved if I still have this much doubt?
- Is the Holy Spirit even living in me?
If these questions are haunting your spiritual journey, you are not alone. In fact, people who struggled with God are a foundational part of Christmas! This week in our Advent series, Roots, we turn to the story of Jacob—the man who literally became the namesake of God’s people, Israel. Jacob was a master of self-reliance, deception, and personal planning. He was an absolute mess… and yet, God chose him.
In this message, hear how Jacob went from wrestling with God to inheriting His blessing, and discover the encouraging truth that those who struggle and overcome are a prominent, honored part of Jesus’ family tree.
