Seen in the Messy Middle :: A Family Christmas :: Alvin Brown

Life doesn’t stop being messy just because we believe in God. Genesis 16 proves it. 

In this message, Pastor Alvin walks through one of the most chaotic family moments in Scripture and shows how it mirrors the moments when our own lives feel tangled, unfair, or out of control.

This isn’t a story about perfect people. It’s a story about real people—God’s people—who made painful choices, hurt each other deeply, and ran from the fallout. Yet right in the middle of all that, God steps toward the unseen that everyone else overlooked.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, used, forgotten, pushed aside, or stuck between who you want to be and the mess you’re actually living through, this message meets you there. 

Join us as we look at the God who sees you, knows you, and meets you in the messy middle.
