In Genesis 32, Jacob is on his way to meet his estranged brother. He has recently finished 14 years labouring for his uncle Laban. So there is a lot on Jacob’s mind. That night, Jacob confronts his demon angel and they wrestle through the night. Often we have those dark nights of the soul where we wrestle with personal issues and circumstances. After this struggle in the wrestling match Jacob is given a new name and identity. So this is also a story that offers us a future too. What might be our new name after our own dark night that will bring us alive once again and offer us a future? Our pastor Kevin will talk about a hope and future that God will bring us after a time of struggle.
