Cultivating Space for the Holy | Space for Struggle

Genesis 32:22-31

Struggle is sacred.  It is in our moments of wrestling that we often encounter God. Like Jacob, we are invited to embrace tension, knowing that it is through struggle that transformation and blessing come. Theologically, this passage reminds us that God is not distant from our pain but walks with us through our darkest moments. Psychologically, struggle can feel isolating, but we are often able to grow the most in moments of vulnerability. This sermon encourages us to see our struggles as opportunities for transformation and deeper connection with God.
