Series Focus – “Unexpected Truths”
The Declaration of Independence boldly asserts that certain truths are “self-evident”—accessible to reason and widely recognized by observation. Lutherans note, however, that the Bible’s most important truths are not self-evident at all. They often appear surprising, even contrary to human expectations. Biblical truth is revealed by God, not discovered by reason alone. What seems obvious to human judgment and what God reveals in Scripture are often quite different.
Service Focus: Real Repentance Looks Different
It might be expected for someone to look sorry when they are caught doing something wrong. You might even see tears and hear words of apology. But you might not be surprised if the shock of being caught wears off, and so does the intensity of the repentance.
Real repentance looks different. God doesn’t want us to simply go through religious motions like some sort of show. God’s desire is that our repentance would demonstrate sincere sorrow over sin. It might be unexpected, but God wants us to see the grace and forgiveness he has shown us in Christ, and in response, to love him back deeply and sincerely.
