The All Things Faith and Family Podcast with Reginald Reaves

We set an example for our children and the generations that follow us. The question is, what are they learning from us? Like a baton that a runner passes to the next runner in a relay race, we handoff to them a legacy of faithfulness to God or we fumble the baton. In this message Pastor Reg encourages us to run our leg of the race of life alongside our children, handing off to them a strong foundation to build on.

What’s done is done! You can’t change your past, but you can learn from it. As we move forward in life, we often have to emerge from the rubble and ruins of drama and adversity. God offers us the chance to shift our focus from our past to the promise of all that He has in store for us. Pastor Reg delivered this message to the New Covenant church family.

Our past has a way of haunting us if we don’t understand the grace of God. God’s grace is greater than all of our sins.

From the life of Saul who was known as Paul the apostle, Pastor Reg preaches a message we all need to hear.
