Message: “Unhrehearsed Christmas Pageant” from The Hillside Community

Tara Sandlin - October 19, 2025

A Life He Didn't Deserve

In this sermon, Pastoral Intern Tara Sandlin reflects on the story of Joseph — a man who had every reason to return harm for harm, yet chose compassion instead. She explored how we, too, can interrupt cycles of hurt by refusing to pass on the pain that was done to us, and how that choice can open the door to healing for everyone involved.

Scripture References: Genesis 37:1-36

From Series: "The Life You Didn't Expect"

This four-week series speaks to the times in life that we find ourselves facing the unexpected. Whether a loss, layoff, divorce, or scary diagnosis, hardships can bring out tough emotions, disappointment, doubt, and cynicism. How do we trust God with the life we didn’t expect?
