"Learning that repentance and faith are inseparable in salvation and therefore in the message the church is called to proclaim."

Description:
Delivered during the Sunday Morning Worship Service, 6/7/2026. After Jesus establishes the atonement of the Crucifixion and the glorious validation of the Resurrection as the core elements of the Gospel, He commissions His disciples to proclaim this great message "in His name" to the nations of the world. But specifically He states it is a message of "repentance" for the "forgiveness of sins". We will delve deeply into these vital principles as they form not only the foundation of redemption but also the heart of the message Jesus knows will change the spiritual landscape of the world and establish His church. We will concentrate on two vital aspects of this pivotal verse: first, that repentance and faith are inseparable in the context of both salvation and sanctification; and second that a gospel that calls for faith but not repentance falls short of the Gospel Jesus sent His church into the world to proclaim. Put together, we will learn that the fruits of regeneration, as well as the message of the Kingdom, include both the gift of faith and the deep conviction of saving repentance.
