This week Rev. Mandy reflects on Malachi 3:1-4 and Luke 3:1-6 and the role of repentance in preparing our hearts and lives for God.
The Christian story is one of new beginnings and new hope.  Repentance is the transformational work that brings change.  As we practice confession and repentance we participate in God's forgiveness. God's forgiveness has the power to transforms us and make things right, both in us and in the world.  As God's transformed people, we are his agents of peace, hope and reconciliation in the world.
