For those who just raised their hands we are going to walk you through the process here and now for fully receiving Jesus Christ. Yesterday, we discussed how repentance is turning away from one direction and into a new direction. It is a realization that we have offended God by our actions, attitudes, behaviors, relationships, and we want to turn away from these and walk toward and with God.

​

I wish to remind you that yesterday you and I started a journey. Journeys leave something behind. Repentance is more than just leaving something behind, it is a transforming movement away from the bad things we do, turn and walk towards and with the goodness of God.

​

We are going to hand out slips of paper and pencils. Please spend a minute bringing to your mind those things that you want to repent from, and write them down on one side of that paper. Please keep this paper in a safe place. We will be doing something memorable with it later today.
