The Main Idea: God’s Covenant with his people forces them to come to terms with their sin.

*The Big Question: How does God CONVINCE us we NEED a SAVIOR?

*The Central Point: God CONVINCES us we NEED a SAVIOR by forcing us to RECKON with:

1.) OUR DESPERATE SITUATION (vv. 1-11) – (Application: Repentance demands we “fess up” to the one in charge.)

2.) OUR DISGUSTING SIN (vv. 12-25) – (Application: Repentance demands we wrestle with how evil we really are.)

3.) OUR DISORIENTING NEED (vv. 26-38) – (Application: Repentance demands we honestly present ourselves to the one we’ve offended.)
