Repentance - Come Back!

Pastor Jonathan Heppner
(my notes)

Ezekiel 18:1-2

People think that what was wrong in their lives because of what their parents have done. Parwnts have sinned and God is punishing so they are suffering.

God says stop saying this.

Lamentayions 5:7

This was a popular way of believing that it is the mess of life is ue to the parents.

How much stuff do we cary not because we chose but because it is all we know?

Are we doomed to become just like what we experience or what we know?

Do we spend our lives runnin from what we used to be?

Ezekiel 18:3-4

Stop blaming your misery on others. Stop blaming who you are on others.

Matthew 5:21-22, 38-39, 43-45

Jesus is calling people to think in a new way.

Repentance - Metanoia

You need to look at these things in a very different way because the kingdom of God is near to you now.

Eph 1:17-19
Spirit of wisdom and revelation so your eyes of understanding would be enlightened.

Nobody can debate somebody to salvation. There must be a revelation and the decision will be made.

For every problem in relationships you need a revelation of Jesus to know how He sees it.

Iniquity - Avon
The results of sin in our ignorance
