Summer Road Trip

Jun 15, 2025    Pastor Matthew Schultz

In this powerful message, we're reminded that even biblical families faced dysfunction and conflict. The story of Isaac's family—with Jacob, Esau, and their parents—serves as a striking example of how family squabbles can escalate to dangerous levels. Yet, this narrative isn't just about conflict; it's a profound lesson in forgiveness and reconciliation. We're called to emulate God's forgiveness, letting go of hurt and pride just as He chooses to 'remember our sins no more.' This message challenges us to examine our own family dynamics and consider how we can foster healing and unity. It's a reminder that as God's chosen people, we're called to be 'sympathetic, kind, humble, gentle, and patient,' even in the face of family discord. By embracing forgiveness, we not only mend our earthly relationships but also mirror the divine love that has reconciled us to our Heavenly Father.
