Guest Speaker Pastor Daniel Gabriel - Don't Look Back.

In this deeply stirring sermon titled “Don’t Look Back,” guest speaker Pastor Daniel Gabriel from Linbrook, Victoria, brings a bold and timely message that calls listeners to wholeheartedly pursue God’s purpose without hesitation or retreat. Preaching from 1 Kings 19 and Luke 9:62, Pastor Gabriel recounts the moment when the prophet Elijah casts his mantle upon Elisha, a wealthy young man plowing the fields, marking the beginning of Elisha’s call to ministry. Rather than hesitating or clinging to his past life, Elisha burns his plow, sacrifices his oxen, and follows the call—symbolizing a complete break from his old life and total surrender to God’s future plan. Through this powerful message, listeners are challenged to reflect on the things in their past that may still be holding them back—regret, fear, pain, or familiarity—and are encouraged to let go, move forward, and trust in the upward call of Christ. Pastor Gabriel unpacks the significance of locations like Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and the Jordan as symbols of remembrance, worship, victory, and breakthrough, reminding us that our journey with God involves steps of obedience and faith, not nostalgia and hesitation. This sermon will inspire anyone who’s standing at a crossroads, wondering whether to step out in faith or remain in the comfort of the familiar. If you’re ready to stop looking back and start moving forward, this message will ignite your spirit, stir your heart, and encourage you to follow Jesus with no turning back.
