==========
Genesis 25:21-24
Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. The Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.” When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb.
In this series, we’ll discover how finding our identity in Christ can save us from the greatest obstacle standing in our way – us.

You can get so good at pretending to be somebody that you aren’t that the people closest to you can’t tell the difference anymore!
III. CHANGE IS CONFLICTING
Just because you have a new name doesn’t mean you won’t have to deal with some old struggles. – it’s a process.
IV. HE’S THE GOD OF JACOB TOO!
He’s the God of that part of you that you don’t want anybody to see.
