We live in a world where the internet and social media plant false expectations that rarely match reality. The same happens in our homes—expectations of perfection weigh us down and blind us to the truth: every one of us has a sin nature. We are all sinners in need of a Savior. Even after salvation, we still mess up, face temptation, and battle sins that may have controlled generations before us, including deception, selfishness, jealousy, anger, addiction, or abuse. One lie in Abraham’s life set off a chain of sin that stretched across four generations. The enemy works by normalizing sin, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Joseph chose truth and forgiveness. His choice broke the cycle. Hebrews 12:1-2 calls us to lay aside the sin that entangles and run with eyes fixed on Jesus. Make the daily choice to lay it down. Let it stop with you. God wants you to win. Listen to this sermon in the second part of our Within The Walls series.
