The Bridge Which Christ Had Built | September 29, 2024 | Brooke Dooley

The Rev. Brooke Dooley, our Associate Pastor, delivers a message reflecting on Genesis 32:24-32, titled “The Bridge Which Christ Had Built" on the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost.

 

A brief synopsis:

Jacob's wrestling represents the human condition: grappling with guilt, uncertainty, fear, and the need for blessing. He emerges with a limp, a sign that encounters with God or deep inner conflict leave us changed, marked by our experiences but blessed with new understanding and purpose. Similarly, renowned theologian Jürgen Moltmann, after confronting the horrors of World War II and the guilt of his nation’s actions, found healing and hope in Christ’s grace, ultimately becoming a voice for reconciliation and peace.
