Podcasts about repenting

The Three “R's” - John 3:1-15The 3 Rs in school. Helps us to remember. Many preachers like to use the same alliterative method in their preaching to help folks remember their sermons. I have found that it does not really work like that. If you want folks to remember something, it has to be short and really memorable, (like “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!”) or you need to repeat it so often that at least the preacher can remember it. Usually, what people remember is how you made them feel, not what you said. The proof is not in specific words, but in what is printed in your heart! What you experience. Selwyn Hughes: l knowing the Psalm (23] is one thing – hearsay – but knowing the Shepherd is quite another – heart-say.Read textLet's look at the three Rs in this passage: Selwyn Hughes: “make no mistake about it – the image of God that you carry in your heart is the one that you will relate to in a moment of crisis.”   Repentance Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:38David Pawson: “Do you realize if you are ever going to start on the road to the kingdom of heaven you have got to repent of your good deeds as well as your bad deeds, if you've been putting your trust in them?”Rebirth Titus 3:5 NIVRevelationFlesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven. Matt. 16The picture of the snake Numbers 21:4-9 and Jesus quotes this now.The discussion with NicodemusTroubled by what he sees and knows and is honest enough to seek out answers  despite the perceived opposition, he takes a risk to seek out Jesus.As a teacher in Israel, he knows the laws that govern and how they are interpreted.  Do good deeds, do the religious things and then you will be acceptable in God's sight. But he obviously doesn't know about the assurance of salvation, and the actions of Jesus, disturb him, even though he can see how those deeds were contrary to what they believed. But it was going to affect his as well as their income, lifestyle, teaching, and their way of life that they had become accustomed to. Was it worth it? Is what Jesus brings worth the price of every one else's wrath? Isn't what we do, perhaps with some alterations here or there enough? Why this dramatic confrontation and change? Aren't we all the children of Abraham? Are we not on the right path? We are doing what we are supposed to do with the offering, sacrifices and the religious zeal for the Words of the law and prophets? We memorize it, we teach our children, we do our best to be kind and good people. Okay we mess up sometimes, but we all do it, but at least we belong to the right family!Jesus cuts right through all his questions and his dilemmas and comes straight to the point: “You must be born again.”This means, Jesus is saying you are not in the right family at all. Being a descendent of Abraham does not make you righteous. Keeping the laws to the best of your ability does not make you righteous. Your basic problem is: You have the wrong nature. Your good deeds are like filthy rags to God. He is not pleased with you because you try harder to please him. There is only one thing you can do with your nature, and that is it must die. If you want live, you must be born again.Nicodemus: What do you mean? What are you talking about? How can you be a teacher in Israel and not know this? Abraham lived by faith in God! Jacob lived by faith in God. Joseph lived by faith in God. Moses lived by faith in God! All of them lived in faith before the law came! They understood their nature was the nature of sin, death, darkness and evil.  It is not about religious activities; it is a matter of a transformed heart. A birth where God Almighty is your father.Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, as a matter of fact, if you are not born again of the spirit of God you cannot even see the kingdom. Worshipping God is not about religious activities, it is something we do in Spirit and in truth! The breakthrough comes when God enters you like the wind and directs you in your faith and your life.Wow. Jesus must have loved him a lot to confront him so directly.Now the matter of being born of water and the Spirit: Some think it means the passage of water when you are born the first time. Birth of the Spirit comes when you believe in Jesus.Most say it can be a dual understanding.  You see John has just spent time with John the Baptist and following this encounter Jesus and the disciples go baptizing as well.  The focus really is on what happens in Baptism:The First R is Repentance. Repenting from bad deeds and good deeds as well if they are what you are depending on for God's pleasure and acceptance. The focus on repentance is critical for a spiritual life. It is the forerunner of moving into God's Kingdom. Learning to be humble and repent before God. Being able to see when we do wrong to others and apologize to them. Letting the Holy Spirit show us just how frail we are and how vital and eternal the Kingdom of God is. It shows us that it is not about us, it is all about him!The second R is Rebirth: That is when the Holy Spirit enters our lives to take up residence within us. We become Children of God. Our nature changes from sinner to sons and daughters of the Most High God! Make a confession: I am a child of God because I believe Jesus, I trust Jesus, and I will follow Jesus. The third R is Revelation: The snakes on a pole did not save the people, it was their obedience in Number 29.Nicodemus remembered his discussion with Jesus when he came to take him down from the cross with Joseph of Arimathea.

Diego Perez is an American beach volleyball player. Michael Clark is an American beach volleyball coach. They are the founders of "Jesus Rules" volleyball - a faith-based training system for adults, pros, and juniors. As far as the heightened level of play is concerned - and who has their back - they are truly a force to be reckoned with. 02:29 - revisiting Huntington Beach and the path to the matches. Plus, how Michael Clark started coaching, and the path through faith and opportunity lead to this, as well as his time as a player. 08:21 - 2001, and the dramatic rule changes on both the beach and indoor, how a ball can be completely spineless and still be a double, the process and preparation of understanding your partner, your opponent, and even certain referees. Plus, enough me talking about me (for the moment) 20:20 - Diego Perez, and how he started playing, how his dreams are slowly becoming a reality, what coaches preach vs what coaches apply in practice 36:20 - Was there a level-up moment that made Perez think this is a career or was it a gradual build-up? Keeping the strategy straight and simple, playing with Jeff Samuels 43:29 - are championships won by blowouts or by two points, and the preparation that helps you deal with it, plus, when it comes to high-pressure moments, Jesus saves all, doing too much vs “do your job” 54:12 - Jesus is the best mental training 1:05:00 - Obeying your virtue vs obeying your passion, praying and gratitude always makes it a better day 1:44:43 - Repenting because of consequence vs repenting because of wanting to change, plus, the value of good choirs, the film “'Sound of Freedom,” 1:22:55 - religious symbolism vs activism and the value of both, books that inspire athletes 1:30:01 - the longer version of “lightning rounds” 1:42:04 - ending prayer #nyvarsitysports #optionpodcast #avp #beachvolleyballworld

Ezra 10:1-17 "Repenting in the Rain" This sermon by Pastor David Tarkington was preached at First Baptist Church of Orange Park, FL on May 18, 2025.

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 17:1-4 and Sin: Temptation; Protection; and Repenting.

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in ourlikeness…”You can't fill a SPIRITUAL hole with an EARTHLY thing.There is NOTHING this world can give you that will ULTIMATELY fill you.“I think everyone should get rich and famous and do everything they everdreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.”—Jim CarreyMatthew 16:26 What good would it be for someone to gain the whole WORLD,yet forfeit their SOUL?The “4 MORES” we think will lead to happiness1. More SUCCESS2. More STUFF3. More SEX (pleasure)4. More SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESSA. ADMIT you have a PROBLEM.Romans 3:23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's gloriousstandard.James 2:10 For the person who keeps all the laws except one is as guilty as theperson who has broken all of God's laws.B. BELIEVE that Jesus is the ONLY ANSWER.John 3:16 For God so loved ________ (the world) that he gave his one and onlySon, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.C. COMMIT your life to Jesus by REPENTING and FOLLOWING.Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name ofJesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of theHoly Spirit.“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, themost probable explanation is that we were made for a different world.”—C.S.LewisYou can't fill a SPIRITUAL void with an EARTHLY thing.

Reverend Alexander teaches us valuable lessons from the trials of Abraham whose faith and obedience, in an hour of profound testing, were replaced by fear and doubt. Yet we learn how God in His great mercy reclaimed Abraham and restored him to the place of blessing. Find your way back and experience the riches of God's grace in Hear the Word of God.

Repenting of sin can awaken hope. Promising to go and sin no more doesn't mean you can do it alone. God walks with you in mercy. God gives you grace. They are tools that the Lord gives us. The work to “sin no more” requires 100% of you and 100% of God. Your promise, God's hope.

What happens when we come to the end of ourselves? What can we do when self-improvement isn't enough to change a destructive or unhelpful habit? Does Jesus still love us, even when we feel incompetent? The short answer is yes. The longer answer is we have an available Savior who we can turn to when He knocks on our door, ready to embrace us. Join us this Sunday to imagine what this could look like as Kim invites us to do just that: turn towards our available Savior. - Series Description - This Lenten season, we will create space for the Lord to move for the sake of growing closer to Jesus and the way of Jesus. The way of Jesus is life and life abundant. It is also life through constraint, sacrifice, and even suffering. Our own missing the mark, our own sin, keeps that life far from us and keeps the work of death close. Pursuing life means giving God space to convict us of sin and to embrace us with forgiveness. Conviction of sin by the God of love gives us space to seek God for life, mercy, and for forgiveness. Condemnation simply closes us in our own darkness. It robs us of hope. Yes, conviction exposes our sin as light piercing darkness. However, the revelatory light of conviction is joined by the warmth of the Father's love for us. We will experience both this Lent as we go deeper with Conviction & Embrace, our Lenten teaching series.

Week 2 of the Lenten Series from Church of Our Saviour in Jacksonville, FL.

In this third sermon in lent we look at the challenging passage in which some within Jesus' audience confront Jesus with a terrible tragedy and Jesus responds with the call to repent and a parable about a barren fig tree.

Most of us know the figure of John the Baptist but not all of us our familiar with his actual message.  At the heart of John the Baptist's proclamation was the phrase “Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”  What does it mean to repent and how is this essential to our leadership today?  In this third part of our series on the bold leadership of John the Baptist, we explore the meaning and significance of his proclamation and show how it impacts us even today.

Isaiah – The Old Testament Evangelist foretold the complete plan of salvation fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In today's study, we uncover 10 key steps to salvation as revealed in the book of Isaiah, showing how God's redemptive plan was always centered on Jesus, the Messiah.

Sister Yee uses a personal story to illustrate the joy of repentance.“Repenting allows us to feel God's love and to know and love Him in ways we would never otherwise know. Of the woman who anointed the Savior's feet, He said, ‘Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.' She loved Jesus much, for He had forgiven her much.”When have you felt God's love or felt your relationship with Christ deepen when you repented?If you'd like to be part of the conversation:Email: genconfconvos@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/generalconferenceconversationsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/generalconferenceconversations/You can also watch this podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@generalconferenceconversations

Repentance isn't a burden, it is a gift, an acceptance of the kindness of God. More at pastoralan.org

Sri Rama justifies his action by saying that the punishment meted out to Vali in the form of taking his life was meet, having regard to the sin of depriving his own younger brother of his wedded wife, of which Vali was guilty. Repenting for his having reproached Sri Rama, Vali now seeks the latter's forgiveness and requests him to take care of his son, Angada. Sri Rama comforts Vali.recitation: 00: 00 - 11:23Translation: 11:27 - 28:34

Only when you SEE Jesus and know that He SEES you in love, can real repentance and generous giving make sense…

Jon and Kevin discuss true repentance and if we truly are repentant after we sin over and over.

Join us this Sunday! As we enter the third week of Advent, our attention shifts from the final coming of Christ to his presence in our life here and now and in our readings for this Sunday, we see that Christ's presence invites two seemingly contradicting responses: Rejoicing and repenting. This Sunday, we will explore Paul's radical claim to rejoice always and Johns's call to bear fruit in line with Repentance. We'll wrestle with what these two postures mean, and how they are meant to be lived out together.

Read OnlineThe crowds asked John the Baptist, “What should we do?” Luke 3:10Among those within the crowds who were asking Saint John the Baptist this question were tax collectors, soldiers and ordinary people. John gave an answer to them all, first telling them to turn away from the sins that they struggled with the most. Sin takes on many forms and often is closely associated with our daily duties in life. Some sins are sins of commission, meaning sins we commit by an intentional act. Some sins are those of omission, meaning a lack of certain virtues or a failure to do what we ought to do.After addressing the particular sins that those in the crowds were struggling with, John then turns their attention to Christ. He states to them that “​​one mightier than I is coming” and that “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” In other words, John was giving the people a twofold command. First, work to overcome sin. And second, turn your eyes to Him Who is coming to you. Repenting from sin is not enough. Once we repent, we must then fill the void within our souls with the presence of Christ.Advent, just like Lent, is an important time within our liturgical year to heed these messages. Though it's true that we must work to overcome sin and turn to Christ every day of the year, God knows we need a special time each year when we give concerted effort to these spiritual endeavors. So before Advent passes you by, heed the words of the Baptist and take some time to examine your conscience thoroughly. Perhaps use a detailed list of the Ten Commandments or the Seven Capital Sins. Once you do that, seek out an opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Doing so is essential to a fruitful Advent season.Once you thoroughly repent of the sins you struggle with the most right now, turn to the Savior of the World with special attentiveness to the miracle of the Incarnation this Advent. Spend time adoring the God Who came to us in the form of a little child. Meditate on this Gift. Gaze at a nativity scene prayerfully. Read the Scripture passages about the birth of Christ. Close your eyes and imagine yourself there at His birth.Reflect, today, upon this twofold exhortation from John and apply it to your Advent preparations. Cleanse your soul in a special way from all sin this Advent. Then prayerfully ponder and meditate upon the reality we are preparing to celebrate. As John says, allow the Christ Child to truly “baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” through your deepening devotion and prayer this Advent. My dear Jesus, please help me to see my sins as You see them. Help me to be attentive to every sinful action I commit and even those smaller sins of omission. As I ponder my sin, please draw me to Your mercy and grace so that I can then open the eyes of my soul more deeply to see You and to adore You more completely this Advent. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Second Week of Advent, during Savior's Sermon Series, Advent and Christmas at SaviorText: Luke 3:1-18Access Order of Service here for Saturday, December 7th for this week.

Be sure to visit the show website at www.BibleCrossfire.com to see show notes and outlines for each episode. You will also be able to submit your Bible questions or comments.

This week I made the decision to rededicate myself to God fully! I am choosing to demonstrate OUT LOUD that walking with God isn't easy. Some months, weeks, days are easier than others. But this month I fell. HARD! I returned to sin I had no business dealing with again. I genuinely feel like 7 more strongholds came in and I've been fighting each day to not sin sexually in some capacity. I keep running back to God over and over and I'm starting to feel like I am just disappointing Him repeatedly. I know He's a keeper and if I keep diligently seeking Him something has to shift. BUT sin will make you FEEL so ashamed that you just stopping talking to God. This week I chose to keep talking to Him! Crying out to Him! Repenting and pleading with Him! Because each day He wakes me up is mercy but I don't want to fight my entire life to walk in a freedom I'm supposed to have while on earth through Jesus! Lord, please deliver me completely and anybody else who is dealing with secret sin or sin in general! I want my trust to be solely in you & I want to feel so comforted in you that I don't seek worldly pleasures that only last a moment!

Being a community of faith, requires a constant self examination of sin, sacrificial generosity, and the pursuit of integrity. It's not only healthy for us, but it reflects to the world what life is like in the kingdom of God.

Rav Soloveitchik on Teshuva (2): Going Beyond the Sin Itself and Repenting for the "Lifestyle" of Sin, by Rav Dovid Gottlieb Second in a series of mini-shiurim on R Soloveitchik's approach to Teshuva based on his famous and incredible sefer Al HaTeshuva When is it enough to "just" repent for the sin itself and when - and why - must we sometimes repent even for the lifestyle that led to the sin?

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Community Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Is It Normal Not to Feel Joy After Repenting? Subtitle: Ask Pastor Tim Speaker: Tim Conway Broadcaster: Grace Community Church Event: Question & Answer Date: 8/26/2024 Length: 75 min.

"The joy of my salvation just doesn't come. There are times when I don't feel it, even though I repent and walk in purity. It seems that the joy of salvation in the Christian life remains elusive. I see Psalm 51 addressing this. What should I do when I have repented biblically, but the joy still doesn't return? Is there some sin I'm unaware of that's holding it back?"

In this sermon Pastor Mike emphasized that God abhors sin and that true repentance requires action rather than mere prayer. He stressed that our motivation for repentance should be love for God, not fear, and highlighted the difficulty of aligning our lives with God's standards amidst cultural pressures to redefine sin. The sermon challenges us to reflect on our personal struggles with sin, the need for genuine repentance, and the importance of embracing both God's mercy and grace in our lives.

You are not saved by repenting your sins. Sin is not an issue in salvation because your sins were paid for by Christ's finished work on the cross. You are saved by faith alone in Christ alone. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Eph 2:8–9). To repent means to change your mind about the identity of Jesus Christ. “I tell you, unless you repent, you will likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do you say I am?” Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God'” (Matt 16:13-16). Peter changed his thinking (repented) and believed Jesus was the anointed Son of God. Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/repenting-sin-d76294

Ephesians 6:18-20 — Repenting from sin and trusting Christ for forgiveness is mandatory for salvation. In this sermon from Ephesians 6:18–20 titled “The Mystery of Salvation,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says there is no other way. The mystery of salvation unfolds with regeneration, the giving of a new nature within the individual. Modern objections to this truth are numerous. There is the literal objection: don't take things literally as people have just come into a new understanding. Then there is the psychological objection: there are two types of people—the religious type and the unreligious. One will have religious experiences, the other will not and should not be expected to. But the New Testament record does not substantiate either of these objections. Every kind of temperament is in the church, and yet all have had basically the same experience. Objection to the supernatural is not so much an objection to the miraculous, but that the teaching of being born again is insulting. If one is told, “You must be born again,” what is really being said that all are hopeless in their current state. Modern people hear this and thinks it preposterous, especially with all their learning and knowledge. They are prepared to believe in morality and a little bit of progressive reform, but not the necessity of being a new creation.
