Apologies today often seem more like a strategy to avoid consequences than a genuine expression of remorse and a commitment to change. Too frequently, we say "I'm sorry" not because we truly regret our actions, but because we want to avoid trouble. In reality, an apology only holds weight when it’s backed by sincere repentance. When we acknowledge the harm we’ve caused, our apology should reflect genuine remorse, a recognition of the consequences, and a sincere desire to do better. The question is, are we truly sorry for what we’ve done, or are we merely trying to escape the repercussions of our actions?

Following the 10:30 a.m. gathering on Sunday, February 9 we will enjoy a quick lunch and then dive into our Evangelism Training Event. This meeting will cover the basics of personal evangelism, the importance of leading children to Christ and raising them up in his love, and tips on evangelizing in the workplace. This afternoon session will teach you to navigate through common challenges and obstacles while preparing you to take the first steps in empowering your own evangelism. Sign up here to RSVP for lunch and childcare.
