National Repentance – Joel 2:12-17 Sermon
Repentance is a word which has been conspicuously absent from our covid response over the last year. It’s one of the most important words in the Christian vocabulary! I believe we need to urgently consider what repentance means for us at this time.
This is a one-off sermon – we will return to the seven signs in John’s Gospel next week.

The book I mention is called “The Doctrine of Repentance” by Thomas Watson, a puritan, and – because it is well out of copyright – is available for free online e.g. here. These sermons are based on his section “Ingredients of Repentance” – the first one we looked at was sorrow for sin.
Sermon preached at St Mark’s Church on Wednesday 11th March.
