Sermon for April 10th, 2016

We must read acts through a lens of moving from individual to community, which is what they were trying to do. This is hard for us...because we are an individualistic society (like Jerusalem and Rome).

Repentance = admitting in a self-centric, try-harder, individualistic culture (Pharisees and Americans) that we can't do it on our own.

Repentance, metanoia, is not changing one's actions. It is changing one's mind.
