Remember So You Can Expect

With warmth, humour, and biblical depth, Dan opens this message by grounding us in a vital truth that runs all the way through Scripture: what you remember shapes what you expect — and what you expect shapes how you live. Dan reminds us that memory is never neutral. Throughout the Bible, faith rises or falls in the arena of remembrance. When God’s people remember His works, hope is strengthened; when they forget, fear quickly fills the gap. Drawing from passages such as Romans 15:4, Lamentations 3:21–23, Psalm 78, and Mark 8, Dan shows that biblical hope doesn’t come from optimism, but from truth — remembered truth (what God has already done) and revealed truth (what God is saying and doing now). Central to the message is Joshua 4, where God commands Israel to build a memorial of twelve stones taken from the very heart of the miracle — the dry riverbed of the Jordan. These stones were not decorative; they were deliberate. They were placed so future generations would ask, “What do these stones mean?” — creating space for testimony. Dan connects this directly to Flame’s Faith Light Board: a living memorial where each light represents an answered prayer — a healing, a breakthrough, a salvation, a chain broken. Like Joshua’s stones, these lights declare: “This used to be impossible, but God made a way.” The board exists so Flame never becomes a people who forget what God has done. The message challenges us to recognise that forgetting is dangerous, not harmless. Fear grows when memory fades. That’s why Scripture repeatedly calls God’s people to remember — and why testimony is spiritual warfare. Memorials are not nostalgic; they are strategic. They protect faith, confront fear, and fuel courage. Dan finishes with a clear call to action: don’t rush past your breakthroughs. Share your testimonies. Write them down. Celebrate answered prayer. Let remembrance shape expectation — and let expectation shape how we live. Key Takeaways: 1. What you remember shapes what you expect — and what you expect shapes how you live. Memory is not neutral. When we actively remember what God has done, faith rises and fear loses its grip. 2. Biblical hope is built on remembrance and revelation. Remembered truth anchors us in who God has been; revealed truth moves us forward in what God is doing now. Both are essential. 3. Testimony protects faith and confronts fear. Memorials — like Israel’s stones in Joshua 4 and Flame’s Faith Light Board — ensure we never forget God’s faithfulness and boldly declare, “God has acted, and He will act again.” We’d love to hear what God is doing in your life and to walk with you in faith. 📧 Email: info@theflamechurch.org.uk 📍 Flame Community Church, Blackheath, West Midlands, UK #RememberAndExpect #TestimonyMatters #FaithOverFear #EbenezerMoments #FlameFamily #AnsweredPrayer #LookUpBeforeAround
