The Past, The Present, The Future

Join Pastor Mike of Grace Nation Church as he delves into an insightful and transformative new series: The Past, The Present, The Future. In this first installment, Pastor Mike invites us to reflect on the significance of our past—how it can either weigh us down with regret or serve as a foundation for growth. Using powerful scripture like Hebrews 13:8 (“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever”), Pastor Mike reminds us that Christ is the ultimate anchor for every season of life.

Through the lens of Saul’s journey to becoming Paul, this episode explores the contrast between being bound by past experiences and embracing God’s present gift of grace and purpose. With the acrostic PAST (Previous, Attributes, Stories, Thoughts), Pastor Mike unpacks how our history shapes us—but doesn’t have to define us.

Listeners will learn:

•How to shift from regret to remembrance (Isaiah 43:18).

•The importance of surrendering toxic cycles to God.

•The difference between living like Saul, blinded by arrogance, and walking in faith like Ananias, who trusted God’s direction despite his fears.

Pastor Mike also shares practical tools for taking thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10:5) and allowing God’s presence to transform the remnants of the past into a testimony for the future. With compelling insights, real-life applications, and the Spirit’s guidance, this episode will challenge you to give Christ your past so you can fully receive your present.

Let go of the past and step into a future firmly grounded in His promises. Tune in now!
