About this episode
In Week 4 of In The Arena, Pastor Joby takes us into Genesis 25 and 32 to unpack the story of Jacob — the deceiver who spent his whole life wrestling for control, until one night he found himself wrestling God Himself. Through Jacob’s struggle, betrayal, and the wrestling match that changed his name to Israel, we see
that real victory doesn’t come by fighting God, but by finally surrendering to Him. If you’ve been fighting in your own strength, it’s time to quit wrestling and truly win — by surrendering everything to the One who already wrestled death for you and won. - The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
