Yesterday. One word that means so much. One word that can shackle you in despair and keep you from moving forward. Isn’t it time to move past your past? Isn’t it time to embrace your future?

No matter how dark your past may be, God’s love reaches deeper than your deepest secrets. He’s for you no matter what. Today we begin to move past the past. I hope you’re ready to step forward.

Discussion Questions:

1. Ask the Lord: “What are you trying to teach me right now? How can I apply the principles from this study into my life today?”

1. What kind of emotion do you feel when it comes to your past failures? The greatest lie we believe is that we can’t be used effectively because of our sin. God’s word is truth. Read Rom. 8:1-2; 1 John 1:7-9; 1 John 2:1-2. What’s God’s perspective on this?

1. Do you need to repent of sin in order to be able to move past your past? When you repent, you are agreeing with God that what you’ve been doing is wrong. But if you genuinely ask for forgiveness, you don’t have to live in a place of condemnation; instead, do what Romans 8 says, which is to set your mind on the Spirit because that’s where life and peace are (Rom. 8:6). Write down a prayer of praise to God for his forgiveness!

1. Consider these thoughts and write down what comes to mind. Guilt will not change you, repentance will. As long as you are not dead, your story is not over yet.
