#16 - Forgiveness Over Vengeance

In this week’s Sunday Rewind, Pastor Brandon and Pastor Matt reflect on Joseph’s powerful story of forgiveness in Genesis 45. Instead of choosing vengeance against his brothers who betrayed him, Joseph extends grace and reconciliation—a picture of how God calls us to forgive those who hurt us.

We talk about the challenge of releasing resentment, the beauty of God’s providence in painful moments, and how forgiveness is more than just receiving grace—it’s extending it to others.
We also share about Hopewell’s next season of discipleship, the upcoming Foundations series, and how parents and church can partner together to raise the next generation with a strong biblical worldview.

If you’ve ever wrestled with forgiveness or wondered how God can redeem brokenness in your life, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.
