We Got Are Get Back - Sermon Only

Main message: The sermon argues that God can turn trauma into triumph and “give us our get back” by redeeming our backstory. Using 1 Samuel 7:12, the preacher says that a theology of “thus far” helps believers remember God’s past help while trusting Him for what comes next.

Key points:

• Everyone has a backstory of pain, loss, or injustice that still affects them.
• Samuel’s Ebenezer in 1 Samuel 7 marks victory after past defeat; the same place that once symbolized loss is renamed as testimony to God’s help.
• The sermon connects spiritual deliverance with social and political realities, emphasizing justice, public action, and organizing.
• God can bring triumph in the same place where trauma happened, and believers should not fear going back with God’s help.
• Prayer and intercession matter: God works through people who stand in the gap for others.
• The proper response to God’s past faithfulness is gratitude, courage, and trust that God will continue leading us forward.
