    Contributed by Larry Wilson on Sep 12, 2011
     | 6,758 views

    In Sermon 4 of the series, PAUSE Before You Act, we admonish the believer to see if what he or she is about to do violates God’s commands. I.e., am I about to commit a sin in my response to a situation?

    Please note that, while this sermon may be preached in stand-alone fashion, it is part of a series. You may wish to take a look at the first three sermons.

    They turned to God. That's the key, isn't it! Turn to God! That is what repentance looks like. Most of us probably think that we have done a pretty good job of putting the Lord first in our lives. And I hope that is true. Still, there are three things that we do need to remember:

    Alba 10-15-2023 THIS IS WHAT REPENTANCE LOOKS LIKE I Thessalonians 1:9-10 In Acts chapter two, the apostle Peter on the Day of Pentecost was preaching about Jesus, and he concluded his sermon with these words: 36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, ...read more
