We all have regrets about things we've done, decisions we've made, or people we've hurt. Sometimes by accident. Sometimes with intention. The impact of yesterday's choices often leads to a heart full of pain and chaos today. What do you do when the past just won't stay away from the present? What do you do when you believe you’re forgiven by God and others, but you still can’t forgive yourself?

Scripture tells us that God’s mercies for us are new every morning, but we have to decide whether we are ready to receive them.Am I going to live bound by the regrets of my past or freed by the grace and peace of Jesus Christ to embrace the possibilities of a different, brighter future? In this sermon, we'll continue looking at the Fruit of the Holy Spirit called peace and what Jesus says about making peace with our past.
