47 While he was still speaking a

but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are
you betraying the Son of Man
with a kiss?”

3. LUKE 22:47-53

what was going to happen, they
said, “Lord, should we strike with

of this!” And he touched the

who had come for him, “Am I
leading a rebellion, that you have

Every day I was with you in the
temple courts, and you did not
lay a hand on me. But this is your
hour—when darkness reigns.”

10. WHAT IS
REPENTANCE?

11. “All of Christian life is
all about REPENTANCE.
If you don’t know what
REPENTANCE is, then
you should start
questioning if you really
know the Cross.”
-Martin Luther King Jr.
(95 Thesis)

A CHANGED MIND

13. 2 CORINTHIANS 7:9-
10
9 yet now I am happy, not
because you were made sorry,
but because your sorrow led you
to repentance. For you became
sorrowful as God intended and so
were not harmed in any way by
us. Godly sorrow brings
repentance that leads to
salvation and leaves no regret,
but worldly sorrow brings death.

14. METANOIA
(met-an'-oy-ah):
A change of mind that
leads to changed

15. SIN is not just anything
that breaks the laws of
God but it is something
that breaks the heart
of God.

16. Our prayer should be:
“Break my heart for
what breaks Yours”

17. ROMANS 12:2
2 Do not conform to the pattern
of this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind.

“PENT” - highest
literally means we
change direction to the
higher things

21. A divinely changed
mind will always result
in a changed direction.

22. REVELATION 2:4-5
4 Yet I hold this against you: You
have forsaken the love you had at
first. 5 Consider how far you have
fallen! Repent and do the things
you did at first. If you do not
repent, I will come to you and
remove your lampstand from its
place.

23. (C) REPENTANCE
RESTORES
RELATIONSHIPS

24. LUKE 15:17-24
17 “When he came to his senses,
he said, ‘How many of my
father’s hired servants have food
to spare, and here I am starving
to death! 18 I will set out and go
back to my father and say to him:
Father, I have sinned against
heaven and against you.

25. LUKE 15:17-24
19 I am no longer worthy to be
called your son; make me like
one of your hired servants.’ 20 So
he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way
off, his father saw him and was
filled with compassion for him;
he ran to his son, threw his arms
around him and kissed him.

26. LUKE 15:17-24
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I
have sinned against heaven and
against you. I am no longer
worthy to be called your son.’ 22
“But the father said to his
servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best
robe and put it on him. Put a ring
on his finger and sandals on his
feet.

27. LUKE 15:17-24
23 Bring the fattened calf and kill
it. Let’s have a feast and
celebrate. 24 For this son of mine
was dead and is alive again; he
was lost and is found.’ So they
began to celebrate.

28. ROMANS 2:4
4 Or do you show contempt for
the riches of his kindness,
forbearance and patience, not
realizing that God’s kindness is
intended to lead you to
repentance?

29. HOW TO
REPENT?

30. CONFESSION
(WE TURN FROM OUR
SIN.)

31. CONTRITION
(WE CHANGE OUR
VIEWPOINT/MIND IN
VIEW OF GODS MERCY.)

32. CHANGE
(WE COME HOME.)

my letter, I do not regret it.
Though I did regret it—I see that
my letter hurt you, but only for a
little while—9 yet now I am
happy, not because you were
made sorry, but because your
sorrow led you to repentance.
For you became sorrowful as God
intended and so were not harmed

40. 10 Godly sorrow brings repentance
that leads to salvation and leaves
no regret, but worldly sorrow
brings death. 11 See what this
godly sorrow has produced in
you: what earnestness, , what
eagerness to clear yourselves,
what indignation, what alarm,
what longing, what concern,
2 CORINTHIANS 7:8-
11

41. what readiness to see justice
done. At every point you have
proved yourselves to be innocent
in this matter.
2 CORINTHIANS 7:8-
11

42. ACTS 3:18-19
18 "But the things which God
announced beforehand by the
mouth of all the prophets, that
His Christ would suffer, He has
thus fulfilled. 19 "Therefore
repent and return, so that your
sins may be wiped away, in order
that times of refreshing may
come from the presence of the
Lord;

43. "I trust that sorrowful
penitence does still
exist, though I have not
heard much about it
lately. People seem to
jump into faith very
quickly nowadays. I
hope my old friend
repentance is not dead. I
am desperately in love
with repentance; it
seems to be the twin
sister of faith.

44. "I do not myself
understand much about
dry-eyed faith; I know
that I came to Christ by
the way of weeping-
cross. When I came to
Calvary by faith, it was
with great weeping and
supplication, confessing
my transgressions, and
desiring to find salvation
in Jesus, and in Jesus
only.“
-C.H. Spurgeon

45. CHICAGO, USA – A US pastor
committed suicide 6 days after
his name was exposed by
hackers of the Ashley Madison
adultery website, his wife told
CNN Wednesday, September 9.
Canadian police have said that
at least two suicides were
linked to the leak of 32 million
customer profiles from the
Canada-based site last month.
It's not clear if John Gibson's
death was one of them as
police released no details.

46. Christi Gibson discovered her
husband's body – and a suicide
note which chronicled his
demons and his shame at being
exposed – in their New Orleans
home on August 24.
"He talked about depression.
He talked about having his
name on there, and he said he
was just very, very sorry,"
Gibson said as their adult son
and daughter sat next to her in
a New Orleans studio.

47. "Nothing is worth the loss of a
father and a husband and a
friend. It just didn't merit it. It
didn't merit it at all."
In addition to his work as a
pastor, Gibson, 56, taught at
New Orleans Baptist
Theological Seminary.
Gibson said her husband, who
had struggled with depression
and addiction in the past, was
worried that he would lose his
job.

48. "It wasn't so bad that we
wouldn't have forgiven it, and
so many people have said that
to us, but for John, it carried
such a shame," she told CNN.
"What we know about him is
that he poured his life into
other people, and he offered
grace and mercy and
forgiveness to everyone else,
but somehow he couldn't
extend that to himself."

49. Ashley Madison, launched in
2001, is known for its slogan:
"Life is short. Have an affair."
It helps connect people
seeking to have extramarital
relationships and is owned by
Avid Life Media.
According to authorities, the
company became aware of the
hack on July 12 when staff
were greeted in the morning
with a message on their
computers threatening to leak
client information unless the
Ashley Madison website was
"shut down immediately,

50. Ashley Madison ran into more
trouble when tech news site
Gizmodo looked at the leaked
data and concluded that it
showed little if any activity
from the site's purported
female members, suggesting
many accounts were in fact
fake.
Avid Life Media rejected the
analysis and said the site has
registered hundreds of
thousands of new members –
including real women – in the
wake of the hack, which has
garnered massive media

51. Tributes to Gibson poured in
from students and faculty who
remembered him as a kind,
generous man who would
repair student's vehicles in his
spare time.
"John was a popular member
of our Leavell College faculty,"
seminary president Chuck
Kelley said in an obituary
posted on the school's blog.
"He was particularly known for
his acts of kindness to the
seminary family. John was the
quintessential good neighbor."

52. His son alluded to Gibson's
troubles at an August 28
memorial service.
"My dad was a great man. He
was a great man with
struggles. Everyone has
struggles. Everyone is broken,"
Trey Gibson said in a video of
the service posted online.
Students and former
classmates took to the
seminary's Facebook page to
mourn his loss.
"Amazing man and teacher. I
do not hold anything against
you, Dr. Gibson. We all have

53. "Hoping the very grace and
mercy and forgiveness he
taught of with such vigor will
comfort his family and all who
knew him," wrote Dore Atwill
Kesterson. Gibson, whose wife
Christi is also a minister,
comes from a long line of
Baptist ministers. He was
pastor of First Southern
Baptist Church in Pearlington,
Mississippi – about a 45 minute
drive from his home on the
seminary grounds. He obtained
a doctorate of theology from
the seminary and was elected
to the faculty in 1998, the

weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. 29 Take my yoke
upon you and learn from me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your
souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and
my burden is light.”
