It's Time To Turn! | Pastor Paul Miller | HopeX Church

Описание: What You’ll Learn
This week’s message, “It’s Time To Turn!”, reminds us that repentance isn’t about punishment — it’s about direction. Pastor Paul teaches that repentance begins with a decision but ends with a direction. God’s kindness isn’t waiting for repentance; it awakens it. When we turn back to Him, we experience the kind of transformation that leads to freedom, not shame.

💡 Big Idea
Repentance is not the proof of failure — it’s the fruit of genuine faith. God doesn’t use guilt to change us; He uses grace. True repentance looks like grief without guilt, sorrow without shame, and conviction without condemnation.
