This message confronts one of the most painful yet often unspoken realities in the Christian journey: church hurt. Drawing from Psalm 55 where David laments betrayal by a close companion, we're invited to examine five critical wounds that occur within faith communities. The teaching walks us through spiritual abuse, where leaders misuse their position to control rather than serve; spiritual manipulation, where vulnerabilities are exploited for personal gain; immaturity, where believers remain spiritually underdeveloped and carnal in their responses; judgment, where we rank sins and criticize rather than extend grace; and failure, where trusted leaders fall morally or ethically. What makes this exploration so vital is its honesty—the church is made up of broken people who, despite being redeemed, still carry jagged edges that can wound others. Rather than denying this reality or silencing those who've been hurt, we're called to acknowledge these wounds as the first step toward healing. The message powerfully reminds us that while people may fail us, Jesus never will, and His church is built not on human personality but on divine power. We're encouraged to test everything against Scripture, surround ourselves with wise counsel, and lean into the Holy Spirit's discernment as our greatest protection and guide toward wholeness.
