A special message from Tiff: I dedicate this teaching to all who have ever sought hope and healing in the church, but instead, you were drawn into darkness and depravity by those you had once looked up to and admired. Abuse says you are ruined, the gospel says you are redeemed.

In my 5 decades of ministry, I have heard the cries and confessions of too many Christians who suffered spiritual and sexual abuse by a pastor, priest, youth pastor, or spiritual leader.

Those in ministry who are called to protect, and insure safe places, have instead betrayed a holy trust, defiled innocence, shattered faith, and misused the name of God.

For all who are still hiding in the dark shadows of sexual abuse and spiritual betrayal, today I remind you that Jesus, the Good Shepherd, does not abandon His lambs, especially those who are wounded.

Here are 3 biblical truths that can bring healing to your wounds:

1 - The Bible Condemns Sexual Abuse

2 - God Cares For The Abused

3 - God Heals The Wounds Of The Broken

Key Scripture used in today's teaching: Isaiah 61:1-3

Other Scriptures referenced: Ephesians 5:3-5; Jeremiah 23:1 & 2; Psalm 72:12-14; 1 John 2:1-6; Psalm 56:8

Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.
