Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, Lord, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,’ 10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps. 11 Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, and also the mothers with their children. 12 But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted. (Genesis 32:9-12 NIV)
2. DO NOT LET KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT
He spent the night there, and from what he had with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau: 14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 15 thirty female camels with their young, forty cows and ten bulls, and twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys. 16He put them in the care of his servants, each herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, and keep some space between the herds.” 17 He instructed the one in the lead: “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who do you belong to, and where are you going, and who owns all these animals in front of you?’ 18 then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau, and he is coming behind us.’” 19He also instructed the second, the third and all the others who followed the herds: “You are to say the same thing to Esau when you meet him. 20And be sure to say, ‘Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’” For he thought, “I will pacify him with these gifts I am sending on ahead; later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me.” 21So Jacob’s gifts went on ahead of him, but he himself spent the night in the camp. (Genesis 32:13-21 NIV)
3. LEARN TO WITH GOD AND OVERCOME
That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.24So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.25When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me. 27 The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered. 28Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” 29Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.30So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.” 31The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip. 32Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon. (Genesis 32:22-32 NIV)

The course will be taught by Dr. Randy Furushima, President Emeritus of Pacific Rim Christian University in Hawaii. This is a valuable opportunity to learn directly from Dr. Furushima about the art and practice of faithful preaching.
This course is open to those who are already preaching or sharing messages, those who hope to do so in the future, and those who are preparing to become pastors or evangelists. Those who would simply like to audit the course are also warmly invited to join us.
The course will be offered in a hybrid format, both in person and via Zoom.

バイブルスタディ「ローマ人への手紙 ― 罪から恵みへ」 Bible Study “Romans ー From Guilt to Grace”
New Hope Tokyoでは、BSF（Bible Study Fellowship)とパートナーシップを結び、聖書勉強会を開催しています。毎週、聖書を少しづつ読み、レクチャーやスモール・グループ・ディスカッションを通して、神様のことばを深く学び、日々の生活に生かしていきます。今年のテーマは「ローマ人への手紙 ― 罪から恵みへ」です。

In partnership with Bible Study Fellowship (BSF), New Hope Tokyo hosts regular Bible studies. Each week, you’ll study Scripture chapter by chapter, discuss in a small group, and listen to a lecture to deepen your understanding of God’s Word and apply it to your everyday life.
