Is your past filled with some not-so-great choices? Most of us can say we have done or said things that we fully regret. Are you so plagued by your past that you keep finding yourself focused on your past, unable to move forward? God never intended us to sit in our mistakes forever. It’s like a roller coaster—the track ahead looks scary and unknown, but looking backward will do you no good! God wants us to keep looking forward, focused on a hopeful future—most importantly with Him leading our way in the driver’s seat of that crazy roller coaster of life!

With so many “monsters” looming in this life, how can we power through? If we are driven by fear, our lives will be sad and unfulfilling. Maybe you feel like giving up. As followers of Jesus, we don’t give up! Our race does not end with death, we are promised our reward in heaven. You are not alone! God promises to be with us always, and He has given each of us community in other believers. So don’t give up—run to WIN!

Life throws so many things our way—many great and beautiful things like love, beautiful sunrises, and a new baby. But then life also can send curve balls our way—sickness, job loss, even death. Pastor Troy Gramling shares how we can learn to handle life’s unexpected happenings through God’s strength and guidance!

Our mortality dictates to us the fact of life that each of us will someday pass away and die. That’s a heavy fact to live with. Death can be incredibly scary, filled with dread and fear of the unknown. But take heart! God promises that as followers of Jesus, we will not pass away with death, rather we will go on to experience life in heaven! Reuniting with loved ones, a place free of pain and suffering, and living in the presence of God forever!

Reaching for success can be scary, right? The fear of failure can be crippling, often becoming the ultimate barrier to us reaching for our dreams. The truth is, fear is blinding. When we are ruled by fear, we can’t see beyond the challenge into the success. When we overcome our fears and power forward, not only do we experience blessing—we experience God’s strength and blessing and become a living testimony to God’s promises!
