When Church Hurts: It Feels Like My Family Abandoned Me

About This Message

Speaker: David Reneau

Summary:
Relationships are hard, family is hard, and sometimes a church family can be even harder. When we experience the deep pain of abandonment or betrayal from those we trusted most, it can make us want to walk away from the church and the faith entirely.

In this message, we continue our series When Church Hurts by looking at the story of Joseph in Genesis 37. We explore what happens when a family turns on one of its own, how human institutions will inevitably let us down, and how God offers us a permanent, secure adoption into His family where He is a perfect, loving Father.
