Why Does Family Hurt You the Most?

From YouTube

Description

You can run a team or finish a PhD and still find that one phone call with your sister undoes you, which is why family can hurt you the most. You start healing from family hurt by admitting how much it hurt, owning the part you played, and letting God show you how he used it. That is what Joseph did when he finally faced the brothers who sold him into slavery. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Genesis 45:1-8 in the Broken Places series and shows how Joseph's family system shaped him and how he began to heal. Questions this sermon answers Why does family hurt you the most? Family carries our deepest joy and our deepest stress, and siblings, your longest relationship, know exactly which buttons to press. How do you heal when family hurts you? Admit the pain first, because you cannot heal a wound until you admit you have it, and admitting pain is different from assigning blame. What if my family never changes? Some family members are never going to come around, so pray for your own healing and don't let their brokenness wound you every day. How do you break a generational curse in your family? Be the one who reaches out with honesty and affection, the reconciler of your generation, the way Joseph was in his.
