Blessed & Broken (5): Blessings Despite Brokenness

In this message, Katherine Sikma Wadsworth reflects on the story of Rebekah and Isaac in Genesis 24, framing God as the true "matchmaker" who guides Abraham's servant to Rebekah in the midst of a deeply patriarchal and broken system. She highlights Rebekah's extraordinary generosity, courage, and faith, drawing parallels to Abraham's own risky obedience while clearly naming the injustice and danger women faced then and still face today. The message concludes by affirming that God does not will our suffering, yet continually wrestles beauty and blessing out of brokenness—like a mosaic or kintsugi pottery—inviting listeners to trust God's redemptive work in their own vulnerable places.
