Confession, regret, transparency, and saying "sorry" is not the same as repentance. They may all be a part of it, but in themselves, they are not repentance. Real repentance starts with heart change, but is proven by change of action.
ABOUT THIS SERIES: Advent means "appearance" or "arrival." Most often we associate this with the arrival of the Messiah, the Savior, or even the King. However, it also means the arrival of a Kingdom. But what is the Kingdom of God? Is it here, or is it still to come? When we pray, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done," what is it that we are praying for, and how do we know when it is upon us? Join us for these four weeks of Advent as we explore what it means for the Kingdom of God to be here, and how we partake in seeing it grow.
