Kingdom Lens--When the Church Hurts: Healing Through the Eyes of Christ!
🎧 Episode 5 Recap — “When the Church Hurts: Healing Through the Eyes of Christ”
In this episode, Pastor John walks us through one of the most painful and often unspoken experiences in the Christian life — being hurt by the church. Drawing from Psalm 34:18, John 13:34–35, and Galatians 6:1–2, he reminds us that while people can wound us, Jesus never does. Christ meets us in our pain, calls us to love even when it’s hard, and shows us a better way — the way of restoration, forgiveness, and grace.
We learn that healing begins by bringing our hurt honestly before God, remembering that Jesus understands betrayal, and choosing forgiveness as an act of faith. Pastor John reminds us that true love doesn’t ignore sin but restores gently, and that the Church, though imperfect, is still God’s idea — a place He longs to redeem.
By the end, we discover that God never wastes a wound. The same grace that heals us can help us become agents of healing for others. When we forgive, rebuild trust, and love again, we reflect the heart of Christ — turning our scars into stories of redemption.
