Are You Really Sorry?

Read Jonah 3:6

Today’s Truth

Humble repentance means recognizing our actions don’t line up with God’s purpose. It means putting aside pride and stubbornness to admit we have been wrong and asking for God’s forgiveness. It means changing.

Discussion Question

What sin do you need to repent of? Be specific.

What changes do you see in your life when you repent?
Biblically define repentance.

Life Application

What is God’s response to repentance? He forgave the people of Nineveh. He stands ready to forgive us too. He has already paid the penalty for our sin on the cross. Psalm 86:5 reminds us of God’s response to repentance. “For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.”

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
