Rev. Brandon Nonnemaker, Ed.D.

Jacob wasn’t searching for God—he was running. Yet in an ordinary place in the desert, with nothing but a stone for a pillow, he awakened to an awesome truth that heaven was already near. This sermon invites us to see God’s kingdom not as a distant place, but as the gracious reality already present among us, waiting for us to simply wake up.
