Check out the latest sermon I preached at my church last Sunday. In it I talk about what it means to be loved unconditionally, how that is completely foreign to a culture in which we are forever having to prove ourselves, and what repentance means in light of that.
The word ‘repent’ has terrible connotations, but I’ll try to explain what Jesus really meant by it and how attractive it can be when seen in comparison to those things that promise the world but fail to come up trumps. The analogy of Odysseus and the sirens may leave you surprised as to the attraction of true repentance.
