Have you ever felt like your life is just a series of random, disconnected events? In Part 3 of our "Hindsight" series, Pastor Ben Lehew explores how our lives aren't just a collection of episodes, but part of a divine metanarrative—a larger story written by God.

Using the life of Abraham as a guide, we look at what happens when we face "famines" in our lives. Do we run toward comfort in "Egypt," or do we stay planted in the place God called us? This message will challenge you to stop romanticizing your past, trust God’s plan in the waiting, and return to your "Bethel"—the place of connection with the Father.

Key Scripture: Psalm 37:23, 2 Corinthians 4:17, Romans 8:28, Colossians 3:15

In This Video, You’ll Learn:

How to view your life as a "Guided Life" rather than a series of accidents.

Why your current "light afflictions" are actually producing something eternal.

The danger of "talking yourself out of the trial and into comfort."

How to weaponize your past victories for your future battles.

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.
