Good morning, good morning, my name is dan. I’m one of the four elders here. If I haven’t met you, welcome to Sword Church, we’re glad you’re here. You hope that you connect with us and give us a chance to get to know you maybe hear your story, you learn a little bit about our story and we figure out how we can help you to know christ, more encourage you and your walk with christ and help you to become all that christ has made you to be, I’m excited for our time this morning, this is um Week three of the rhythms of rooted. The first week we looked at the rhythm of daily devotions and last week, pastor mike covered the rhythm of prayer and this week we’re gonna look at the rhythm of repentance and I’ve entitled this teaching rooted in the grace of repentance. I believe there is a grace that is deeply connected tied to and associated with the concept of repentance, so rooted in the grace of repentance. As I was thinking about how to intro this teaching, I was reminded of my experience as a college athlete. Um very early on, probably the first week of my experience into that experience, I was physically worn out, I was sore, I was hurting all over the place and there was the look on someone’s face who is physically tired, sore and beat up right and I remember after one of the team workouts and older teammate put his arms around me and he kinda smiled and chuckled a bit and he said coach is gonna get you right man, coach is gonna get you right, what he meant by that coach getting me right was that coach was going to, through this process of training was gonna help me to become stronger than I had ever been in my life, helped me to run faster than I’d ever ran in my life and helped me to be more agile as an athlete than I had ever been in my life. But it was a process and early on it was a painful process and I was thinking about that today as it relates to the subject of repentance. God the holy spirit, your coach, your teacher wants to get you right and early on in that process and at various times in that process, it may not feel good, it may seem hard, it may be challenging at times, but God’s gonna get you right and I think it’s our desire to be right with God to be right with him, to live right for him to grow in christ, to grow with christ and to make all of our lives about him glorifying him, honoring him in the various ways that we can, that’s why our vision here is to make authentic disciples who love and worship him and all that they do and guess what God’s gonna get you right, if you stay with the process, he’s gonna get you right. And so as I said, um the first week, we looked at daily devotions last week, Pastor mike covered prayer. And if you’re working through the rooted curriculum, which if you are unfamiliar with that, none of what I said, that makes any sense. There’s a table out back after the service, you can pick up a rooted book or you can buy a pdf copy of the book for about $5 I think. What is it with $5? We’re like five below here, right, we’ve, we’ve taken over or something. Anyway, um you can pick up a copy of that and you’ll see um in the context of community groups, we go into the various applications of these rhythms to the rhythm of daily devotion, the rhythm of prayer and today the rhythm of repentance. Right. And so I like to say that faith, prayer and repentance all live in the same house. You cannot kick one of them out of the house, you cannot close the door on one of them. They live together in the same house. Repentance and faith are coupled together and prayer is the instrument by which both of those things pour forth from the heart of the believer. So we pray in faith, we pray prayers of repentance. They live in the same house. You cannot separate any of those graces that God has given us any o…
