Series: A Dysfunctional Family
June 02, 2024 | Rev. Carrie Binnie
Passage: Genesis 48:1-22
It isn’t uncommon to hear of families waging war against one another over the receiving of an inheritance. It turns out, things weren’t all that different in the days of Jacob. When the dust settles, is it possible to live in a new way? Whether or not forgiveness is achieved, is reconciliation or restoration possible?

Is your family a bit dysfunctional at times? You’re not alone! Starting all the way back in the book of Genesis, we see family dynamics that carry forward dysfunctional traits across generations. Despite this reality, God still chose these people, our ancestors of the faith, to be God’s people. As we seek to learn from the ancient stories and apply our learnings to life today, we’ll discover a hope grounded in the unmerited grace of our Creator.
