    Your Past Is A Reference, Not A Residence

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 14, 2025
     | 329 views

    Many people allow past mistakes, failures, or even successes to define their identity and limit their potential. Living in the past robs us of present opportunities and blinds us to the new things God wants to do.

    YOUR PAST IS A REFERENCE, NOT A RESIDENCE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Philippians 3:13-14 Key Verse: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward ...read more

    Don't Look Back

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025
     | 262 views

    Life leaves us with memories—some warm us, and some wound us. If we spend our time looking back, we risk missing the new thing God is doing right in us.

    Intro: Danger of Looking Back Memories light the corners of our minds, but they can also weigh heavy on our hearts. They can warm us — or they can wound us. The truth is, some people are walking around half-dead because their past has become a prison. The question for us today is this: Are we ...read more

    Our deepest and most intimate needs will never be filled with the temporal things of this world. They can only be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. The secret of contentment is learning how to live godly lives in accordance with God and His word.

    Paul shows how to return and keep moving—admitting we haven’t arrived, forgetting what holds us, and pressing on toward Christ (Philippians 3:12–16). The direction is the point: let go of past wins and wounds, lean forward, and run because Christ already holds you.

    Last week, we kicked off our series "Back At It," and we talked about how Jesus meets us where we are, even when we've drifted back to our old ways. We looked at the story of Jesus cooking breakfast for His disciples on the shore, calling them back to their true purpose. Today, ...read more

     | 1,054 views

    I have been accused of a lot of things, and a thankfully a Christian is one of them. Do you bear the characteristics, the marks of a Christian? You can.
