August 2, 2026. Are you feeling caught between who you were and who you’re becoming? Sometimes, our past feels like a distant relative—familiar, but not always helpful.

This week, we explore how Jesus’s love doesn’t just erase our history—it redefines it. Pastor Joe Lewis reminds us that no matter what baggage we carry from the past, God's forgiveness offers a new start and a fresh identity rooted in His grace.

You’ll discover how to leave behind the shame of yesterday and step into the hope of today, empowered by a love that’s bigger than our mistakes. We talk about the power of grace to forgive, renew, and truly transform your story.

Ask yourself:

• What personal story am I holding onto that might be keeping me from moving forward?
• How can I embrace God's grace as my fresh start today?

Join us next Sunday in person or at our church website to experience the hope and peace that come from letting God rewrite your story.
