Sermon: Jacob – Broken to be blessed

broken to be blessed

Text: Genesis 32:1-31

Introduction

‘Lord bless me!’ The prayer of every Christian. Do you know that God has already blessed you? Yes, but you live a hopeless life because of your own shortcomings. God promised you many good things just like he did to Jacob, but nothing seems to work.
