Scripture Lesson Mark 1:1-8
From Today’s Message…
“Highway Construction” Mark 1:1-8
- God desires for us to walk in perfect fellowship with him, in perfect relationship with Him…
- To walk in perfect fellowship with God means keeping our eyes turned toward him.
- To walk in perfect fellowship with God means walking without hesitation or stumbling.
- To walk in perfect fellowship with God means walking the path that he sets before us.
- God is gracious. He forgives. He desires that we return to the path. That’s where repentance comes in.
- Repentance is the outcome of godly sorrow.
- Repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of direction.
- Repentance means turning away from actions that are not pleasing to God…such as gossiping about your brothers and sisters in Christ or engaging in unethical business practices at work.
- Repentance means turning away from inaction that is not pleasing to God…such as neglecting to come to the aid of someone in need or neglecting to come together in worship on a regular basis.
- Repentance means returning to the road that God sets before us.
- Repentance also has to do with keeping the road in good repair.
