Have you ever slowed down to think about why God wants us to repent? In this message we will discuss the following ideas… Repentance is not punishment, rather it is a pathway to restored relationship. Our repentance is so important to God, at times He will bring trials into our life to get us to repent. Although God cares about our behavior, the primary thing He wants to see change when we repent is our heart (because behavior flows from our heart). And, Repentance is returning to responding to God’s voice.
