You know you need to start over in a job, a relationship or your faith, and something keeps pulling you back. You start over in life by taking away the past's authority over your future. In Isaiah 43:18-19 God tells his people to stop living in the former things because he is doing a new thing, and he walks ahead of you and clears the path. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Isaiah 43:18-19 and 2 Corinthians 5:17 and names the fears that keep us stuck. Questions this sermon answers How do you start over in life? Stop letting the past have the final say, and trust that God is already doing a new thing and making a way ahead of you.
