James 1:13-15 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Repentance in the Bible involves a complete and irreversible change of mind, heart, and actions. Repentance recognizes that our sin is offensive to God. To repent means to make an about-face, heart-directed turn away from self to God, from the past to a future ruled by God’s commands, acknowledging that the Lord reigns supreme over one’s existence.

They refused to obey, and they were not mindful of Your wonders that You did among them. But they hardened their necks, and in their rebellion they appointed a leader to return to their bondage. But you God are ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abundant in kindness, and did not forsake them. Nehemiah 9:17

This first session goes over a summary of discussions and discoveries. We'll first talk about Discipleship Basics and where to start.
I used to call myself a Christian but that label has been diluted and is used by many people that do not really know who God the Father is, or who Jesus Christ really is, and many folks don’t know very much about Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit!
I now refer to myself as a Christ Follower – which is what a disciple is. Being a follower of Christ is not about a religion. Its all about a relationship based on Jesus Christ loving us first, unconditionally and no strings attached. There is nothing we can do to earn salvation, it is a gift.
