Compelling teaching This is a useful and explicit sermon about repentance, confronting pastors, teachers, young people, parents, or church members at personal/practical level with its imperative need. It details the objections, or course of action, stubborn wills may take to avoid, or excuse themselves from repenting, and underlines the deplorable consequences of this. Using the last chapter of Ezra as a background, repentance is presented as the only biblical pattern leading to healthy growth, blessing and God's approval. It demonstrates that it is the obvious/natural answer of any with a sincere heart. It infers also the opposite: lack of repentance leads inevitably to stagnation.
It features also the eminent demands true repentance brings upon the repentant. Very helpful, realistic, forceful, and sobering. Very much appreciated. |
