Have you ever thought your life might need to be recalibrated? Do you sense a need to be transformed in order to live victoriously or to be of use to God? It appears that Jacob felt a need for God to work in his life when returning home to meet his estranged brother, Esau. Although we do not know exactly what Jacob was experiencing, he spent the night wrestling with a man. This man was actually an Old Testament appearance of Jesus Christ. God met Jacob on his turf and confronted him at the deepest part of his soul. Jacob, the life-long deceiver and trickster was transformed into Israel, a patriarch serving God. Tune in as Richard L. Hamlet shares three significant observations from Genesis 32:24-29 on how God can transform your life.
Real Time in the Marketplace
Our Real Time spotlight shines on Hennie Venter, a native of South Africa, who has planted over 200 churches and built more than 100 church buildings in the past 30 years. With a degree in engineering, Hennie entered the ministry convinced that the church in Africa needed African pastors who preach solid biblical messages and set godly examples. He committed his life to make this happen in Sub-Saharan Africa. His multifaceted ministry reaches out with tent crusades, discipleship training, pastor training, and planting new churches – especially to unreached people groups. Hennie believes they are now on the verge of the greatest harvest of souls in history.
