Surrendering Your Benjamin

In this message from the “Life is About Relationships” series, Adrian Turner explores the powerful story of Jacob, Joseph, and his brothers, found in Genesis.
The message centres on Jacob’s heart-wrenching fear of losing his youngest and most precious son, Benjamin, after already presuming his son Joseph was dead. Through a detailed reading of the biblical account, we see how Jacob’s journey from fear-filled protection to courageous surrender ultimately leads to a miraculous restoration he never thought possible.
This biblical narrative is powerfully illuminated by a personal and moving testimony from Susette Aldridge. She shares her own modern-day “Benjamin” story—learning to entrust her precious grandsons to God amidst tragic circumstances and discovering that true healing and restoration begin when we finally let go and trust in God’s perfect plan.
This message is an encouragement to identify the “Benjamins” in our own lives—the people, fears, or situations we hold onto too tightly—and to find the freedom and faith to surrender them into God’s loving and sovereign hands.
