Our Vision | The Hope of Revival | Part One | Scott Chapman

In Genesis 32:22–32, we read about Jacob wrestling with God. This was more than just a physical battle—it was a deep spiritual struggle. Jacob realized that without God, he had no hope, and so he clung to him. After this encounter, God gave Jacob a new name—Israel, meaning "one who wrestles with God" or "one for whom God fights."

This name change marked a significant transformation in Jacob's relationship with God, shifting from self-reliance to complete dependence on him. Jacob was forever changed after experiencing God in this powerful way. Just like Jacob, you can come alive to God!
