The document discusses the concept of repentance and how it relates to the gospel. It explains that repentance involves an internal change of mind and heart, and is not simply saying "I'm sorry." True repentance requires seeing God differently - seeing his truth, beauty, worth, and obeying his word. Repentance means taking God's side over one's own and humbling oneself before God.

Knowing the gates of our body. These gates are connected to the gates of our soul. Remember the body is not in direct contact with the spirit but with the soul. The soul is in contact with the spirit and with the body, in this way, the soul is the connector between spirit and soul.
It is as we flow with the anointing, that is, go with what the Holy Spirit is doing, that we see, experience and receive from what He is doing at any given moment. Hence, we must develop sensitivity to the Spirit - sensitivity to the moving, stirring and flow of the Spirit.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Four Gospel Questions
1. Who made us, and to whom

12. Romans 1-4
Four Gospel Questions
1. Who made us, and to whom
are we accountable
2. What is our problem? Are we
in trouble & why?
13. 3. What is God’s solution to that
problem? How has he acted to
save us?
14. 3. What is God’s solution to that

4. How do I -- myself, right here,
right now -- how do I come to be
included in that salvation? What
makes this good news for me, not
just someone else?
17. 9 He also told this parable to
some who trusted in themselves
that they were righteous, and
treated others with contempt:
Luke 18:10-14
18. Two men went up into the temple to
pray, one a Pharisee and the other a
tax collector. The Pharisee, standing
by himself, prayed thus: God, I thank
you that I am not like other men,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or
even like this tax collector. I fast
twice a week; I give tithes of all that I
get.
19. But the tax collector, standing far
off, would not even lift up his eyes
to heaven, but beat his breast,
saying, God, be merciful to me, a
sinner! I tell you, this man went
down to his house justified, rather
than the other. For everyone who
exalts himself will be humbled, but
the one who humbles himself will be
exalted.

21. An Internal Change of Mind & Heart
Repent = meta noe
meta = change
noe = mind/thoughts
Anything other than this IS NOT the GOSPEL
Many variations have popped up over the centuries, but this is the only Gospel we can have hope in
1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.
Jesus isn’t just informing them.... he’s warning them
Today, I think the warning is still real, and for many of us here this morning
He gives God all the credit
He hasn’t stolen, he is a fair man all matters, he has never cheated on his wife!!
He fasts more than most, and tithes 20%
He sounds like a good man, we would all like in our church
Tax collectors are always back.... sellouts of their own people for personal gain
Begging for mercy and knows no posturing will get past the mind of God
He was justified because of his honestly about himself, and his understanding of the holiness of God
“yes, I’ve accepted Christ as Savior, so I’m a Christian. But I’m just not ready for him to be Lord of my entire life.”
In other words, they claim they can have faith in Jesus and be saved, and yet not repent of sin
That isn’t Biblical
Repentance is not “Worldly Sorry”
We feel bad, but we don’t change!!!!
Opposite of Repentance is GETTING CAUGHT
We’ve seen this play out in media with Presidents, Sports figures, and sadly pastors
“I’m sorry” has become cultural repentance, but it’s not biblical!!!

Go back to my seat
In a matter of time, continue the same behavior that made me feel bad

“the difference between an unconverted and a converted man is not that the one has sins and the other has none; but that the one takes part with his cherished sins against a dreaded God, and the other takes part with a reconciled God against his hated sins.” -- William Arnot, 1884
Trust in Him, Repent of You,
Renew your mind by seeking help
Know that God loves YOU, not some future version of you.
But you cannot stay the same
