Recap

Guest speaker Jabin Chavez opened with prayer and a declaration of healing for Pastor Travis. He then taught from Isaiah 43:18-19, emphasizing God's call to move forward into new things. Pastor Jabin explained that to move forward, we must first forget the past—not just our mistakes, but also past victories that can limit our expectations of God. He illustrated how our senses and memories can anchor us to what was, making it hard to believe for a future we haven't yet seen, felt, or tasted. The second step is to embrace the present, recognizing that where we are right now is holy ground and that we must take authority over our days, making decisions today for a better tomorrow. Finally, we must see the future by perceiving and declaring the new thing God is doing, aligning our words with God's Word. Pastor Jabin stressed that God is more into new beginnings than second chances and that His plans exceed our past experiences. The message concluded with a powerful altar call for salvation and rededication, and a declaration of blessing over Impact Church, its worship team, and every individual present.
