    based on 14 ratings
     | 18,711 views

    A sermon for the New Year. God wants us to leave the past in the past and look forward to a better tomorrow in Him. This world may not get any better, but the Bible is filled with promises for God's people. Let us look forward with anticipation to see

    From Dust To Life: Tested And Transformed

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 26, 2026
     | 180 views

    Why did Joseph stir up the pain of the past, what did he constantly awaken the consciousness of their failures? What was the purpose, what did it accomplish? Gen 44 speaks hope into the past so that we do not have to bring into the future.

    In real life, people carry the weight of brokenness—family dysfunction, personal failures, neglect, and wounds that often go unspoken. What do we normally do with the dysfunction? Cover it up and move on. This next chapter in Genesis speaks hope into these areas of brokenness. God shows us how our ...read more

    This message challenges the faithful to take seriously faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone but looking past certain Hills that are in view.

    My Friends, WE NEED TO TALK! I want to highlight this headline in our little chat. I want to discuss with you: “HILL RELIGION.” The Text I have tagged and targeted for teaching is Psalms 121:1-2. It reads in the New King James Version: “I will lift up my eyes to the hills- From whence comes my ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 16,897 views

    No matter how bad we’d like to, we can’t undo the past. God is all-powerful but there are some things He won’t do. He will not change the past. But he’ll do something even better. Even though He won’t change the past, He will give you a fresh start for th

     | 227 views

    Remembering God’s past faithfulness fuels our present hope and prayer, empowering us to trust Him and expect His power in today’s challenges.

    Some nights feel noisier than others. The worries keep whispering, the clock keeps ticking, and our hearts keep wondering if morning will ever come. Have you been there? You grab your phone, scroll a few old photos, and a smile slips in where sighs used to sit. Memory does that. Memory can be a ...read more

    So Near And Yet So Far

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 14, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,823 views

    We will never be as close to Christ as we could be or think we are if we are oblivious to today’s issues or build monuments to past achievements.

    We can be close to something, and yet miss it. We can be almost on target, almost where we want to .be, and yet, if we’re not exactly where we ought to be, we miss it. So near and yet so far. A couple of years ago, when my wife and I were touring England, we were in Victoria Station, one of the ...read more

    There is a danger in looking back at the past. The New Year’s sermon reminds us not to look back, but to look ahead to the future that is as bright as the promises of God.

    Learn from our past without dwelling on it, live in the present with gratitude, and look forward to the future with hope, trusting in God's promise of renewal and new beginnings.

    Good morning, family! Today, we're going to dive into a rich and inspiring passage from the Book of Isaiah. But before we do that, let's take a moment to consider these words from Woodrow Kroll: "The God who made us also can remake us."

    God invites us to move forward with Him, leaving the past behind and focusing on Christ, trusting His presence and grace for every step.

    There’s a reason your heart quickens whenever you sense a fresh start. New mercies. New morning. New possibilities. Like a runner at the starting line, leaning forward, muscles ready, eyes fixed—something inside you says, "There’s more ahead." You were made for forward motion with Christ. You were ...read more

     | 4,494 views

    It is a good thing for Christians to “remember” what they were. No ability of the mind can be better employed to produce humility, penitence, gratitude, and love, than the memory. It is good for us to recall our former sins.

    The Inherited Church Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 16, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,002 views

    To accomplish the task of evangelising our world, we must work as though our congregation was new. New churches have a vibrancy that can be lost as we grow older. In time, if we don't take care, we will have an "inherited church" rather than a vibrant, living congregation.
