The Divine Screw-Job

December 15, 2005 Adam Walker Cleaveland

I know Jonny thinks it’s funny when people podcast their sermons (and I’m sure others do too), but…oh well. I am preaching again today, on Genesis 32 (Jacob wrestling with God). The sermon is called The Divine Screw-Job (to see why, you’ll have to check out the footnote in the PDF): you can read the manuscript here. This was supposed to be a narrative sermon, and I struggled with that. I mean…I’m supposed to really like narrative, but…it’s hard. It’s hard to strike the balance between just telling the story and having people go “Huh” when you’re done, and on the other side, telling the story and then ending with a “Well hey kids – here is the moral of the story…” So, I don’t really know how I did with finding that balance. So, if you have 10 minutes, I’d love it if you would listen to this sermon, and then leave a comment with 1-2 sentences of what you think…did I have a “claim” or a “point”? Or whatever you want…thanks! Listen below.
