QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

What is true repentance? Does it mean just being sad or feeling guilty for sinning? Or is repentance a daily confession to God?

What is the consequence for unrepented sin? Does God pour His blessings upon those who are repentant? (Isaiah 55:7; Ezekiel 18:30-32; Hosea 14:1-4)  Pastor Jarrett reminds us of God’s punishment upon the Israelites and how He rewards the faithful and those who repent for their sins.

What does repentance mean in Greek? Yesterday, Pastor Jarrett explained why this is important to understand and shared the great testimony of a friend of his. Today, he continues using Genesis 3:19.

What did repentance mean to Solomon and the Israelites? What does repentance mean to YOU? (John 6:44) Pastor Jarrett reminds us that we are all born with a sin nature and repentance is the only way to salvation, reading from Martin Luther’s “95 Theses” which he nailed to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg in 1517.

Bible Teacher and President of Christian Communicators Worldwide, Jim Eliff said: “The believer in Christ is a lifelong repenter. He begins with repentance and ends with repentance.”

Day 5

Last week, Pastor Jarrett Stephens began a short, three-week sermon series exploring the powerful promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14. In a world full of noise and distractions, we’re reminded of the call to humble ourselves, pray, and seek God’s face. This short series is a chance to go deeper and see what happens when we take God at His word.

NOTE: This sermon was preached the Sunday before the November 5 Presidential Election. I chose to keep all the political references in this sermon because God is still God and we are His children – no matter who the President of the United States is. We have a responsibility to our faith, family, and country to become and remain involved in the political process always, not just at election time.
