Contentious Relationships

Series: A Dysfunctional Family

April 21, 2024 | Rev. Carrie Binnie

Passage: Genesis 16:1-16

Contentious relationships are a part of life. When they exist within family units, dynamics often shift and ongoing challenges can arise. Join us for worship as we consider the relationship between Abram’s wife, Sarai, and their servant, Hagar; the way trauma impacts their relationship and humanity’s basic needs for relational stability.

Series Information

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.
