The Prison of the Past

In this sermon, Pastor Lynn contrasts two Scripture passages. The first one is the story of Lot's wife when she leaves the city of Sodom with her family. After she is warned not to do so, Lot's wife looks back. She is not able to flee the city without turning back to her past. This passage is then put in contrast to 2 Corinthians 5:17 where Paul explains, "if anyone is in Christ that person is a new creation."  Only Jesus has the power to heal us and release us from our past. And there is nothing beyond the power of God's love and forgiveness which cannot be healed.
