Moving On:

Sep 7, 2025    Pastor Keith L. Garrett

New Life Open Bible Church, a Christian Church in San Jacinto, CA we are challenged to embrace the concept of 'moving on' in our faith journey. Through the story of Paul in Acts 14, we witness the incredible resilience of early Christians who faced severe persecution yet continued to spread the Gospel. This narrative reminds us that our faith isn't just about believing, but about persevering through trials. The parallel drawn between holy ground and quicksand is particularly striking - it invites us to consider whether we're willingly standing firm in our faith or feeling stuck in life's challenges. The message encourages us to shift our focus from what others have done to us, to what God is doing through our circumstances. Just as Joseph recognized God's greater purpose in his suffering, we too are called to trust in God's good intentions, even in our darkest moments. This perspective can liberate us from the quicksand of resentment and victimhood, propelling us forward in our spiritual journey.


We hope to see you this Sunday at 10:00 ~ New Life Open Bible is a Christian Church located in San Jacinto, CA
