The Importance of Setting Your Past on Fire

Have you set your past on fire? In this new message pulled from 1 Kings 19, Pastor Erwin McManus challenges us to move toward the life God has designed for us.

In 1 Kings 19, Elisha's life is interrupted by Eljiah as he is called to step into a new life away from the comfort of his family and home. As Elisha was plowing his field and living in the comfort of his success, he left everything behind to serve king Elijah.

Pastor Erwin reminds us that often our past becomes our anchor when God wants it to become an altar. And though many of us feel as though our past failures are most difficult to move past, we're reminded that it is more difficult to leave success behind when God is calling us forward toward a life of risk .

We cannot step into the future God has for us unless we are willing to light a match to it and let God build a new future from the ashes. 

As we move with God, we are challenged to give up our plan B and move toward a life that is beyond our imagination. 

Are you ready to let go of the past and move into the power of the future God has for you? 

This message is inspired by The Last Arrow, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to save nothing for the next life.
