Hindsight Part 2: Healthy Hindsight & Heaven’s Cancel Culture

Are you a prisoner to your past or is it a weapon for your future? In Part 2 of our "Hindsight" series, Pastor Ben Lehew explores how to look back in order to move forward with freedom and power.

While the world uses "cancel culture" to blacklist people for their past, Pastor Ben shares the beauty of Heaven’s version of cancel culture. Based on Colossians 2:14, we see that Jesus has already canceled the debt of sin that stood against us, nailing it to the cross.

In this message, you’ll learn three practical steps for healthy hindsight:

1. See it for what it was: Stop "romanticizing your bondage" or watching the "highlight reel of hell." Tell the whole truth about past seasons—including the pain and compromise—so you can truly be free from them.

2. Say goodbye to what can’t stay: God doesn't want you to erase your memory, but He does want you to stop giving the past power over your future.

3. Break the cycle: If you've been circling the same mountain of struggle for years, it’s time to stop the cycle and "turn north" toward God’s promised land.

Don't let the enemy narrate your story. It’s time to align your perspective with Heaven and say "Canceled" to every hurt, failure, and struggle trying to hold you back.

In this uplifting New‑Year message, Pastor Ben Lehew invites the congregation to start 2026 with a fresh “spiritual lens.” Using the theme “My past is not my prison—it’s my weapon,” he explores three kinds of hindsight. Pastor Ben encourages listeners to record (“rehearse”) God’s past faithfulness, journal victories, and use those memories as fuel for the year ahead. The sermon blends biblical teaching, personal testimony of overcoming addiction, and practical challenges (vision boards, goal‑setting) while urging the church to reject “spiritual amnesia” and walk confidently into 2026.

In this uplifting Sunday‑morning message, Pastor Dan Prus opens with a light‑hearted joke before guiding us into a powerful meditation on Isaiah 66:1‑2: “…the one who is poor and contrite, who trembles at My word.” Using vivid travel memories from historic German churches, Dan shows that God isn’t looking for grand buildings but for hearts marked by humility and repentance. He then walks us through several biblical “people God looks on”:

Mary Magdalene – the first witness of the risen Christ, a woman once delivered from seven demons.

Thomas the Doubter – whose honest questioning led to a personal encounter with the risen Lord.

Peter – despite three denials, restored to shepherd the flock.

Dan ties each story to modern struggles—past mistakes, addiction, legal troubles, and everyday doubts—reminding us that our past does not define us; God calls us by name and looks on us with favor when we turn to Him with contrite spirits.
