Worship – Prioritizing Repentance (6/1/25)
Nehemiah 9:1-37
True worship goes beyond singing and prayer to include genuine repentance. In Nehemiah 9, we see that repentance begins with exposure to God’s Word, which reveals where we’ve fallen short. Authentic repentance involves acknowledging our wrongs, recognizing God’s righteousness, and adjusting our lives accordingly. When repenting, we should remember God’s character—His forgiveness, grace, compassion, and loving kindness. We must also accept the just consequences of our actions while turning from sin and embracing God’s forgiveness through Christ.
