Starting Over: Redeeming Your Regrets

True redemption is hard to find at times. When we make mistakes or have regrets of any kind it is tough to turn them fuel for a better future. As we wrap up the final week of Starting Over, Patrick shares a wonderful story from the book of Ruth about redemption. The truth is that through Jesus and the promises of God he truly wants to redeem every bit of pain and sorrow in your life into something more beautiful than we could ever do with it ourselves. You don't want to miss out on this final week of Starting Over and hearing about the life you can have beyond your regrets. 

Starting Over: Releasing Your Regrets

Once we have recognized the regrets we have encountered the next step is to forgive. Forgive yourself and ultimately forgive the other parties involved in your regrets. Forgiveness is at the center of God's heart and this week we learn the ins and outs of what forgiveness is and more importantly what it is not. Through the words of Jesus we find his never ending promises and his never ending forgiveness. 

Starting Over: Recognizing Your Regrets

A huge part of the healing process through our many regrets are first recognizing the wrong that has happened. Whether we committed it, it happened to us, or it is something that we have ignored it is vital that we recognize that it is there so that we can take the next steps to truly giving it all to God for healing to happen. It is possible to start over, but only through the path that Jesus sets before us can we feel really clean from it all. 

Starting Over: There Is Life Beyond Regrets

It's Easter Sunday this week and we start with a new series that is all about sharing what Jesus has done for us. We all have regrets, but Jesus gives us life beyond each and every one of them. There is nothing that you have or haven't done that He can't give you grace for. He is faithful to the end and on this Sunday we celebrate more than ever the most important thing Jesus brought for all of humanity, a chance to start over. Listen in this week about the true grace of Jesus and how massively life changing this is for you. 

Lamplighters: Celebration

On our last week of "Lamplighters" we learn about the most important part that light brings. It is the moment when we find what we are looking for! Say we have illumnation and we have the navigation to get us there but if you never find it then what's the point? The creator of the universe celebrates with all the heavens when we turn away from life in darkness and give it to Him the maker of the light. Join us this week as we celebrate what Jesus has done for us and learn about the true loving and forgiving heart of God. 

Lamplighters: Navigation

As we continue with this three part series "Lamplighters" we go over the second property that light brings us, navigation. Once the light illuminates our surroundings it shows us the ins and outs of the path ahead. Jesus provides navigation for us as we seek for truth in our lives. When we look to the Bible we find out purpose and truth beyond what this world can give us. Tune in this week as we learn about the truth in the light of Jesus. 

Lamplighters: Illumination

Back in the day when we did not have electric lighting in cities there was a very important role, the lamp lighter. He or she would light lamps throughout the city streets to provide guidance and safety for the citizens. Jesus claimed to be the light of the world to all mankind. A different light than just a bright room or street but the brightest light in our soul to provide hope and rescue beyond all other. He proved this in many ways, but now if you are a follower of Jesus we have an opportunity and responsibility, to shine that same light of Jesus into the world. Tune in this week as we start a brand new teaching series, Lamp Lighters.

Unchained: Free To Be Free

Finalizing this series through Galatians could not end on a better note. We land in a passage that is so challenging but yet so freeing if we put it into practice. The truths that we learn through the ending of Galatians and the principles of the Bible are what truly set us free from our chains that hold us back from the life that God designed us to live. Tune in this week as we hear Patrick close this series out with the life changing truths at the end of Galatians.
