How To Let Go Of The Past
How to Let Go of the Past Isaiah 43:14-25 Sometimes it feels like no matter how much we want to move forward, the past still whispers in our ear: “Remember what you did?” or “You’ll never change.” God said, “Forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing.” In Isaiah 43, God predicts the rise and the fall of the Babylonian Empire. God used them to discipline His people, but then the…
It Didn’t Have To Happen Like This
It Didn’t Have to Happen Like This Jeremiah 39:4-8 In Jeremiah 39 we discover one of the most tragic chapters in all of Jeremiah. The prophet Jeremiah has warned about the very circumstance that has now come to pass: if the Jewish people do not turn from their rebellion and turn back to God, the consequences will be that the Babylonian army will come and besiege the city of Jerusalem and destroy it.

I Can Only Imagine
“I Can Only Imagine” 1 Chronicles 29:18 1 Chronicles 29 is King David’s prayer asking God to keep the people faithful and devoted. In that prayer David asks God to “keep this forever in the (imagination) intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people.” God is the Creator and He created us with imaginations. Albert Einstein said, “Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” We use our imaginations every moment of every day. Webster Dictionary defines…

Living With No Regrets
Living With No Regrets Philippians 1:3-11 One of the most common regrets that people have on their deathbeds revolves around relationships. The most common regret that people have in the final days of their life on earth is expressed like this: “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. I wish I had spent more time with my husband, wife or my children. I regret not visiting my parents or keeping up with my siblings.” The quality of…
His Grace Is Sufficient – His Power Is Perfected
“His Grace is Sufficient – His Power is Perfected” 2 Corinthians 12:1–10 This section of the Bible is the summit of Paul’s defense of his apostleship and his love for the Christians at Corinth. Paul’s reluctance is expressed in the opening words of this chapter: I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it. Paul would rather write about Jesus, but the worldly thinking that made the Corinthian Christians think little of Paul also made them think…
When You Don’t Know What to Say
When You Don’t Know What to Say Romans 8:26-27 “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And He who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Romans 8:26-27). “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died,…
The New You
The New You Colossians 3:1-11 The Bible teaches a great promise. Through faith in Jesus Christ, God can completely transform you — not just improve you, but make you new in identity, heart, and purpose. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” This means your old self — defined by sin and separation from God — is replaced by a new self…
