Rooted Rhythms-Repentance
Rooted introduces the 7 rhythms of discipleship found in the early church of Acts 2. These are essential behaviors for every follower of Jesus that should be integrated into their lives. The Rhythms series is meant to reinforce the specific rhythms of discipleship as introduced in the core Rooted experience. One of these rhythms is repentance.
Jesus saves those who believe and call upon His name. Saving grace is once and for all (justification) and also a continual invitation to repent for our wrongdoings. With the Spirit's help, we take inventory of our lives, humbly and honestly confess our sin, and turn away from it toward God in surrender. Through Jesus’ offer of forgiveness, we receive true freedom.
Through this in-depth study of repentance, disciples will understand the necessity of repentance—not just once, but as an ongoing posture of humility, confession, and gratitude. In doing so, disciples will experience the freedom that comes from acknowledging their sin again and again and seeking the reconciliation that follows.
