Is repentance solely a means to avoid consequences? Pastor Colin guides us in understanding repentance as an invitation to participate in the Kingdom of Heaven. Through insightful discussions about Psalm 51 and the teachings of Christ, we explore how repentance is more than turning away from sin; it's a joyful, sustained turning towards a life of peace and joy under God's rule.

The concept of repentance is often misunderstood as a daunting task or simply feeling sorry. Pastor Colin paints a vivid picture of the journey between a mountain of impossible demands and a swamp of inadequate solutions, showing us the highway of repentance as a refreshing path towards God.
