Apologies for the very late post.
Worship begins at 11am tomorrow morning and I'm preaching on the Old Testament reading from Genesis 32 where Jacob wrestles with God. Like the persistent widow in the gospel reading, Jacob hangs on to God and refuses to let go until God blesses him.
How much more blessed are we to know that in Christ, God holds on to us in everything that we wrestle with in this life. Jacob got lots of things wrong in his life, but one thing he got just right. He hung around long enough - even when all looked lost - for God to bless him in faith.
We will also have the privilege tomorrow of witnessing Harvey Bensch join God's family through the washing of renewal and regeneration in the Holy Spirit that is Holy Baptism.
God bless,
Pastor Matt
