The Exit Redefines Identity: How You Leave 2025 Determines Your 2026 | Pastor Jamaal Bernard

About this sermon

Are you standing at the "gate moment" of a new year but still carrying the weight of the old one? In this powerful year-end message delivered on Sunday, December 28, 2025, Pastor Jamaal Bernard explores why how you exit a season is just as important as where you are going. Drawing from the Israelites’ journey out of Egypt and his own experience of missing a flight at the airport, Pastor Jamaal reveals that freedom is more than a location—it is a mindset. Many of us have left the "Egypts" of our lives geographically, but internally, we still think, speak, and reason like slaves. In this sermon, you will learn: • The Exit/Entry Principle: Why the way you exit determines who you become when you arrive. • Judging the Past: Why you must pass judgment on your past and tell the truth about it to truly embrace your future. • The Power of Silence: How silence is not weakness, but trust under pressure while God fights your battles. • Moving Forward: Why "forward" is a command from God, not a suggestion, and how to stop using prayer as a delay for obedience. Don't let the "water" of the unknown deter you from your next step. It’s time to redefine your identity, let go of the baggage of 2025, and enter 2026 with a mindset of faith rather than fear.
