“But it is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance.”
A sermon using David's experience under Saul (and a Michael Jordan/Chicago Bulls analogy) to teach that believers can 'succeed while bleeding'—thrive in God-given purpose despite opposition—by relying on the Spirit, maintaining a faithful 'yes' posture of service, and drawing strength from present and past successes. It closes with a gospel invitation and practical calls to prayer, Scripture, and humble service.
“It is the goodness of God, the Bible says, that leads us to repentance.”
Executive Pastor Banks preaches that believers are God’s masterpiece—saved by grace and created for good works—calling listeners to receive God’s purpose, resist the enemy’s deceptions, and respond in faith through obedience, worship, prayer, baptism, and service.
““God's kindness is meant to lead us to repentance.””
Pastor Ralph Castillo uses Jeremiah's indictment of Israel to expose modern idolatry: anything that takes first place in our hearts and replaces the living God. He contrasts the fountain of living water with broken cisterns, warns that forgetfulness and lesser loves lead back into slavery, and issues a call to return, repent, and be captured again by Christ.
“It is the kindness of God that is intended to lead us unto repentance.”
Sam Gibson preaches that Christians are truly freed from sin through Jesus and offers pastoral, practical guidance for walking in that freedom. He defines sin as missing the mark and primarily as misplaced relational allegiance, contrasts guilt/innocence and honor/shame frameworks, describes sin’s effects (separates, stains, sensitizes, steals, spreads), and gives three concrete practices for sanctification: live in accountable community, break the cycle early (confess desires and temptations), and practice frequent, specific, confident confession grounded in the finished work of Christ.
