Freedom From Your Past

Stephen DeFur - March 15, 2026


What’s one thing from your past you wish you could erase?


Our past often lives in our minds.


Our challenge is to see ourselves the way God sees us.


Once we come to faith, God gives us a fresh start and a new identity.


Three Mindset Changes for Getting Free from Our Past:


1. Stop replaying and start receiving (Colossians 3:1-3)


Your past explains how you got here, but it does not define your future. (Psalm 103:8-12)


2. Take off what doesn’t fit anymore (Colossians 3:5-9)


3. Put on the new you (Colossians 3:10)
