What Repentance Really Is | Learning to Follow Jesus | Luke 3.1-14

"We have a tendency to minimize our sins. We have a tendency to be more sorry that we got caught than grieved over our sins." Ever heard the phrase "easier said than done"? Nowhere is that more true than with apologies. Sometimes simply saying "sorry" isn't enough. We teach kids how to apologize, but teaching them how to repent isn’t as easy.
