Sermon Recap
This week, Pastor Casey shared a powerful message on repentance, drawing from Romans 2. He emphasized that true repentance is a joyful response to God's extraordinary kindness and patience, rather than focusing on fear or punishment. Just as Jesus demonstrated in his encounters with people like Zacchaeus, God's unwavering desire is to save and redeem us. Pastor Casey reminded us that repentance, as highlighted in Romans 2, isn't about legalistic rules, but about a genuine change of heart and a renewed commitment to following God. It's an essential and ongoing part of our walk with God, helping us to align our lives with His will in a beautiful way.
