Repentance A Refreshing Lifestyle

 Repentance is the Great Turnaround - “a change of mind” turning away from sin and turning towards God  Repentance is the essence of the way to salvation  Repentance precedes water baptism  Repentance is a lifestyle  Repentance is a choice

 Matt 3:1,2 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"  Matt 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

 God is continually calling us to a place of repentance because He wants us to turn away from everything that separates us from Him.  Your Father deeply and passionately loves you and He longs for an open, honest and holy relationship with you.  Repentance removes the barriers and restores fellowship and releases the blessing of God.

 Repentance brings transformation  Repentance welcomes the Holy Spirit  Repentance opens the door for revival  Repentance is a key for the believing church right through to the end of the age.

 Repentance is a response to God’s love  The abundance of God’s grace needed for salvation, as well as His grace bestowed on us daily does not erase our need for repentance  At the end … repentance matters  Repentance is richly rewarded by the Lord

 Could you use a Great Turnaround?  Do you need a fresh new start?  Are you longing for the refreshing presence of God’s love in your personal life as well as in the church?  Are you ready to respond to the call of the Lord right now … a rich reward awaits you.
