    Jake the Snake Wrestles with God By Pastor John Stensrud Immanuel Baptist Church Elgin, IL October 1, 2000 If he was alive today, hi-tech head-hunters would be on the phone to him regularly.

    This sermon embraces the uncomfortable ideas of wrestling with God, God self-limitation in the struggle, and change that occurs.

    Genesis 32:22-32 Our Bible story needs a little prefacing this evening. Its kind of like the original Star Wars Triliogy - we’re coming in to the story at Episode VI.

Many see him as a hero ...read more
