Start Over

There is thinking among many Christians that "to repent" is a one-and-done action. "I repent of all my sins and now I'm saved and go to heaven." For the Christian, it is true that repentance and what we call salvation are inextricably linked, but is this the only way to think about repentance? Maybe it's time to rethink repentance that could cause us to believe that's all there is to it? The Scripture, and perhaps the Greatest Commandment most of all, offers a lot to consider when it comes to repentance and also a question: do I need to repent of being the Christian that I am now?

Series Information

Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
