Breaking Family Cycles: What the Bible Says About Generational Sin | Exodus 34:6–7 Sermon


Listen Later

Does your family's past shape your future?
In this message from Exodus 34:6–7, Pastor Trey Hayman dives deep into what the Bible teaches about generational sin, family patterns, and God’s mercy that breaks the cycle.

Many of us carry things we didn’t choose—habits, pain, dysfunction that seem to run in the family. But Scripture offers both honest truth and deep hope:
👉 Sin may run in the family, but so does God’s faithfulness.
👉 You are not doomed to repeat the past.
👉 In Jesus, you’re invited into a new family—with a new future.

🔍 In this sermon, you’ll discover:

  • What “visiting the sins of the fathers” really means (Exodus 34:6–7)

  • How patterns of deception, division, and broken relationships show up across generations in Genesis

  • Why mercy always outruns judgment (James 2:13)

  • How discipleship means unlearning the family patterns that keep you stuck

  • Why the blood of Christ is stronger than the bloodline you come from

📖 Featured Scriptures:
Exodus 34:6–7 | Ezekiel 18:20 | Genesis 12–50 | James 2:13

If you’ve ever wondered “Can I be free from my family’s brokenness?”—this message is for you.
