Sermon, 8.6.23, Night Terrors, Melody Merida
Wily and crafty Jacob, who is no stranger to running away when things get tough, encounters the Holy in a most unusual way. He can either do his usual letting go or he can stand his ground and stay in the difficulty. What he chooses to do not only changes him, but changes the course for all God's chosen people. Like Jacob, if we choose to hold on to God in the midst of holy encounters, we too will be changed.
