HOPE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH - Wrestling: Jacob Wrestles With God

Genesis 32-33 1. Fearful Plans – Controlling the Outcome (32:1–8)   2. Honest Prayer – Depending on God (32:9–12)   3. The Night Fight – Wrestling and Weakening (32:22–32)   4. New Name, New Walk – Israel the God-Wrestler (32:28; 35:9–12) 5. Limping into Reconciliation (32:30–33:20) Reflection Questions What’s been a major takeaway or major impression from this whole series in Genesis?  Where are you living as “two camps” between trusting God and yourself (Genesis 32:7–12)? Where has God allowed a “limp” or “thorn” in your life (Genesis 32:25, 31; 2 Corinthians 12:7–10), and how might that be a place of grace? In your current struggle, what would it practically mean to stop fighting in your own strength and instead cling to God (Genesis 32:26; 2 Corinthians 12:10)? Is there a relationship or past wound where God is calling you to “limp toward” reconciliation (Genesis 33:1–4; Luke 22:39–42; John 20:24–29), and what first step could you take?
