Key Theme:
True repentance is evidenced not by words, heritage, or religious activity, but by a transformed life that bears fruit because Christ is first.
Key Application:
Examine whether your life is marked by ongoing death to self and lived dependence on Christ, or by nominal living that preserves worldly living.
Key Verses:
Matthew 16:25 “For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
Key Questions:
1. What concrete fruit in my daily life demonstrates that Christ is truly first?
2. Where might I be slowly veering, subtly resisting obedience, excusing sin, or relying on spiritual knowledge rather than daily repentance?
3. If someone examined my life over time, would they conclude I am living from salvation or to earn it or just claim it? Why?

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
