How To Change | John Elmore | Harris Creek Sermons

About this sermon

June 7,, 2026 John Elmore Genesis 32:22–32 Jacob spent his entire life trying to secure blessing, identity, and control through his own strength, only to discover that true change came when he finally surrendered to Christ. In his wrestling match with God, Jacob received a new identity and a lasting testimony, reminding us that Christ changes people not through self-improvement but through surrender, transformation, and dependence on Him. Christ Wants Your Surrender Christ Changes Your Identity Christ’s Work is Our Testimony Life Group Discussion: What is something you tend to hold onto tightly for security, control, or identity, and how might that be keeping you from fully trusting Jesus? Can you think of a specific way Jesus has changed your desires, priorities, or character since you began following Him? If you had 10 seconds to share your testimony, what would you say about who you were before Christ, how you met Him, and how He has changed you?
