  Blessed & Broken (12): The Unseen Promise

  Aug 23, 202627 min

  In this message, Terry Timm brings the "Blessed and Broken" series to a close by reflecting on the deaths of Jacob and Joseph in Genesis 49–50. He shows how Scripture makes room for grief, names brokenness honestly, and reminds us that evil is never the final word in God's story. Through Joseph's trust in God's unseen promise, this message points us to the hope that all of God's promises find their "yes" in Jesus Christ.

  Blessed & Broken (11): Who Tells Your Story?

  Aug 16, 202622 min

  In this message, Terry Timm continues the "Blessed and Broken" series by exploring Joseph's story in Genesis 45. Using the question from the musical, "Hamilton"—"Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?"—he invites us to consider how Joseph interprets his painful past through the lens of God's providence. Through betrayal, suffering, and eventual reconciliation, we see that God may be hidden in our stories, but is never absent.

  Blessed & Broken (8): When the Deceiver is Deceived

  Jul 27, 202625 min

  Richie Reeder explores Genesis 29 and the story of Jacob, Leah, Rachel, and Laban, honestly naming the discomfort of patriarchal polygamy, deception, family dysfunction, and cultural brokenness. He shows how Jacob, the deceiver, becomes deceived, revealing the blind spots, unhealthy patterns, and relational wounds that run through the story. Yet the message emphasizes that God remains faithful in the midst of human brokenness, working through imperfect people and painful circumstances without endorsing the dysfunction itself.

  Blessed & Broken (7): When Hard Places Become Holy Ground

  Jul 20, 202629 min

  In this message, Richie Reeder walks through Jacob's encounter with God in Genesis 28, where a fugitive with a stone for a pillow discovers that heaven is far closer than he imagined. Richie shows how God meets us not after we get our lives together, but right in the wilderness of our fear, regret, and exhaustion—turning hard places into holy ground. He then challenges us to recognize the "Bethels" in our own lives, seeing our workplaces, relationships, and struggles as places where God is already present and at work.

  Blessed & Broken (6): The Trades We Make

  Jul 12, 202630 min

  In this message, Terry Timm explores the story of Jacob and Esau in Genesis 25 to show how the everyday "trades" we make reveal what we truly value and shape who we are becoming. He contrasts Esau's impulsive surrender of his birthright for a bowl of stew and Jacob's grasping for what God had already promised with Jesus' call to "seek first the kingdom of God." Throughout, Terry urges listeners to trust in the slow work of God, resist settling for immediate satisfaction, and bring their brokenness into the light so God's grace can shine through.
