Wednesday –Preparing for this upcoming Sunday

2. Discuss what failing to repent has done to you in the past and why you value having a quick response to getting rid of sin in your life.
Friday- Preparing for this Sunday
1. How often do you say you are wrong in an average week? Is this good? How would you know if you have an overactive conscience? Read Jeremiah 5:3. What characterizes those who truly refuse to make faith and repentance a way of life?
