What are you wrestling with? In Hosea 12, God points Israel back to Jacob’s encounter with Him—a night of physical struggle that became a moment of spiritual transformation. Jacob walked away wounded, but he also walked away changed, blessed, and clinging to God. Israel, however, had begun clinging to everything except God, pursuing what Hosea calls “the wind”—things that promise life but ultimately leave us empty. We all wrestle with something. Money, comfort, fear, approval, control, past hurts, or the circumstances we cannot seem to escape. But what we wrestle with is often what we ultimately cling to. This message challenges us to stop chasing what cannot satisfy and instead bring our struggles to Jesus, allowing Him to transform us and teach us to depend on His provision. Most importantly, the story points us to the relentless love of God. Even when we wander, God continues to pursue us. The cross is the ultimate proof that He has not abandoned us. The question is simple: What are you clinging to—and are you willing to let go and cling to Jesus instead? Check out our Church podcast with new episodes every Monday morning! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grace-community-church-curllsville/id1182037373 Join us Wednesday nights for prayer and bible study on our discord channel! https://discord.gg/XDgZ24JT We want to thank you for tuning in today! We Pray God's word would challenge and encourage you as you learn to seek him and that you may see our Great savior more clearly, possibly even see him for the first time! Our offices are always open and you may call the church at any time, reaching us at 814-745-2897. We are also available right here on facebook messenger and we look forward to helping you move towards Jesus. Our service times are Sundays at 9:30am for in person services and 10:00am for online services. We also have a midweek prayer meeting and bible study held Wednesdays at 7:00pm, we are currently studying the book of John. We are a non-denominational Christian church devoted to the Glory of God. Our mission is to “Make disciples who make disciples.” Working from the commands of Christ found in the book of Matthew [Mat 28:19-20 ESV] 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." What you can expect when you walk in the door is an extremely familial atmosphere, possibly to a fault. We love one another and love everyone who walks in the door. If you can make it to your seat without someone touching you, shaking your hand, giving you a hug and expressing their Joy at your presence you must be invisible. We believe that nobody belongs here more than you. Our theology and doctrine are very important to us. Our theology would closely mirror the baptist traditions however we do differ in some minor ways, most notably in a healthy relationship with the Holy Spirit. Seeking above all to be as biblically serious, socially active and spiritually alive as we can. We pray that you will come see us in person soon, until then enjoy the service and feel free to follow the page and continue to join us week after week.
