MESSAGE SUMMARY
Repentance is one of those words that conjure up medieval images. But though there is certainly a serious side to it, the outcome of repentance is anything but somber. Let's see what real repentance looks like when it pervades an entire culture.

- The Partner of Repentance (v. 5)

- The Proof of Repentance (vv. 5b-9)
- In Attitude - Humility
- In Action - Influence
- The Power of Repentance (v. 10)
Questions for Discussion:
- What kind of listener are you? Aloof? Detached? Deflecting? Self-examining? How could this determine how much truth, and therefore how much change gets into your life?
- Recall the last time your words or lifestyle brought conviction to someone's life to the point of repentance? What were some of the key things you said and did?
