“Do not remember the former things... Behold, I'm doing a new thing; I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
Pastor Jim Luisi preaches on the importance of seeing life from God’s perspective rather than being shaped by losses, cultural opinion, or circumstances. He calls believers to seek divine revelation, cultivate contentment, and stand steady in the revelation of who Christ is so they can take the right actions (or inactions) and walk in God’s purposes.
“Regard not the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing.”
A Pentecost-season message from Deeper Church LA (series: Fan the Flame) calling believers to steward and sustain the fire of God's presence. The pastor outlines four practical dimensions—stewardship, feeding the fire daily, removing old ashes, and sacrificial refinement—paired with worship, testimony of healing, calls to repentance, and invitations for salvation and church membership.
“Those are the former things and the things of old. The third thing we see in these two verses is the wilderness.”
A worship-centered New Year service calling the Generation One community to pursue a fresh work of God in their hearts. Leaders led extended worship, celebrated the ministry's fifth anniversary, taught on faithful stewardship (tithing as the first 10% of increase) and seeking God's kingdom first, then delivered a pastoral call to leave behind former habits, wilderness wandering, and desert dryness so God can make 'roads in the wilderness' and pour 'rivers in the desert.' The message culminated in an altar invitation to receive Jesus, renew commitment, and step into the new season.
“Remember not the former days... Behold, I'm going to do a new thing; I'm going to make a pathway in the midst of the wilderness, I'm going to make rivers in the midst of the desert.”
A pastoral teaching on the spiritual and practical principles of 'starting over'—embracing new seasons from God by releasing the old, renewing identity, holding godly expectations, obeying the Holy Spirit, and committing to spiritual disciplines (repentance, fellowship, giving) as the church prepares to relaunch.
