Here are some highlights from the message. If you share any of these on your social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) please use this link as a reference: http://ow.ly/KZPTH
  • Some things in the Bible are hard because we don't understand them. Some things are hard because we do. 
  • Our sin never stays our sin. There's always collateral damage. 
  • Repentance starts by seeing God's desire in the Word and comparing our lives to it. 
  • Just as sin can spread, so too repentance can spread. 
  • God is not just interested in you feeling bad about your sin, he wants you to make wrong things right. 
  • When we begin to take God seriously, we begin to take sin seriously. 
  •  Repentance at the heart level isn't fundamentally about following your sin less and following God more. It's about loving your sin less and loving God more. 
  • Repentance is hard when all you look at is the sin you're giving up for God. It's so much easier when you look at what God gave up for you.
