- Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: Hebrews 11:21; Genesis 32
Hebrews 11:21 says, “By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.”
Many of us think self-sufficiency is a virtue, but truthfully, it is a vice. After deceiving his father to obtain his brother Esau’s birthright, Jacob was on the run for his life. God used this moment to cause Jacob to cease depending upon his own schemes. Jacob’s story reveals three principles to remember as we learn to lean on God.
First, God will protect us, but He will not pamper us.
In Genesis 32, Esau was pursuing Jacob with a vengeance. God appointed angels to protect Jacob on his journey, but Jacob needed to learn that his flattery and strategy would not work.
Second, God will hurt us, but He will not harm us.
Adrian Rogers explains, “God brought Jacob to realize that his only hope was God: not his scheming, but his surrendering; not his bargaining, but his begging.” As He loved Jacob, God loves us too much to leave us self-sufficient.
Genesis 32:24-25 says, “Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.”
Finally, God will break us, but He desires to bless us.
Genesis 32:27-28 says, “So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.” And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
God gave Jacob a new name: no longer was Jacob a schemer or conniver; when he learned to lean on God, he became a prince, Israel.
Following this encounter, Jacob was left with a limp. All his life, Jacob leaned upon his staff-but he was stronger with a limp than he ever would have been on his own two feet.
Adrian Rogers says, “Men throw broken things away, but God never uses anything until He first breaks it.”
Apply it to your life
Failure doesn’t need to be final; if you’ll judge yourself, you won’t have to be judged. Lean on the Lord Jesus Christ; it is your worship by faith that really matters.

Learning to lean
Learning to lean
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
Finding more power than I've ever dreamed
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
I prayed with Dr. Rogers over my city and he used Jeremiah 4:3 in his prayer like at 32:42 of this message. It’s like the earth shook with his intensity and deep bellowing voice….
He said and I’ll never forget it….
Break up the fallow ground, rain down your righteousness, loose your light and push back the darkness!!! I say it everyday now and that was in 2003.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So I thank God for the mountains,
and I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.
For if I'd never had a problem,
I wouldn't know God could solve them,
I'd never know what faith in God could do.
Problems preset opportunities to lean
Amen thank you Jesus
if you can handle the Truth, then read the above book (blue link) and share. Shalom

Amen Lord Jesus!
Good morning
Sooooo need this message! I can be too independent in some situations.
Love the Muhammed Ali story!
*"Sir! Please put on your seatbelt. We're ready to land"* .
*"Superman don't need no seat belt"* .
*"Sir, Superman don't need a plane"* . 😂
I wonder if Adrian knows that people are still listening to his messages
When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man,
And skill a man
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him
Into trial shapes of clay which
Only God understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!
How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses,
And which every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendor out-
God knows what He’s about.

Jacob was wrestling...Angel was just playing around
Here's a question: In what aspects of life are we to be "self-sufficient"? I mean, surely, we're expected, as adults, to have jobs and pay our own bills. How do we separate where we are to do for ourselves and when we are to trust God!?
Please fix the volume on this video. I watch all of them but this one has volume all over the place

Isau probably beat up Jacob when they were growing up
When Jacob tricked his brother later on, I kind of hoped Esau it coming
