It Would Take a Miracle | Week 3: How Can I Have Hope in the Middle of Family Drama? | RVCC Graham

Family is supposed to be a blessing—but for many of us, it’s also where the deepest pain, stress, and unresolved tension live. From parenting struggles and strained relationships to infertility, caregiving, shame, or emotional distance, family drama doesn’t take a holiday break. In this Christmas message, Jeff Jamba explores how hope is still possible—even in the middle of complicated family dynamics. Through a relatable story, honest reflection, and the Christmas narratives found in the Gospels, we discover a powerful truth: You cannot give your family a love you haven’t known yourself. Looking at two very different families surrounding the birth of Jesus—one marked by fear and control, the other by trust and support—we’re invited to consider what it looks like to love from a place of having first received love from God, our Everlasting Father. This message is for you if: Family gatherings feel heavy or painful You’re carrying guilt, exhaustion, or unspoken grief You long for change but don’t know where to start You wonder if healing is even possible Christmas reminds us of the greatest miracle: God with us. And when we learn to live from that love, even small steps—taken one at a time—can lead to real, lasting change. 📍 Recorded at Graham Campus 📅 December 14, 2025 Chapters: 00:00 – Why Family Drama Hurts So Much 02:35 – “Disney Dad” and the Reality of Family Meltdowns 06:10 – The Hidden Shame and Struggles We Carry 10:05 – When Family Pain Feels Like It Would Take a Miracle 13:20 – You Can’t Give a Love You Haven’t Known 16:40 – Mary, Elizabeth, and Supportive Family (Luke 1) 22:10 – When God’s Promises Feel Delayed 26:15 – The Power of Coming Alongside 29:40 – Herod: A Family Shaped by Fear and Control (Matthew 2) 35:10 – Two Very Different Ways to Treat Family 38:45 – Jesus Reveals the Heart of the Everlasting Father 43:20 – Change Starts With How You See Your Family 47:05 – Coming Alongside in Real Life (Small Steps Matter) 51:30 – Prayer, Trust, and God With Us 55:10 – A Christmas Invitation: Will You Receive This Love?
