1. The message you preach informs the response, v. 3b-4
Romans 3:23
Romans 3:21-25
2. There is a difference in repentance and appeasement, v. 5-9

b) they were sorry, v. 5
c) they went into a complete fast
d) they prayed, v. 8
e) they turned from sin and violence, v. 8
2 Corinthians 7:8-13
The fruit of repentance…
1 earnestness- what is your focus?
2 eagerness to clear yourselves-is telling the truth hard for you?
3 indignation- where is your anger directed?
4 fear- what is your fear?
5 longing- what is the biggest desire of your heart?
6 zeal- what are you most passionate about?
7 punishment- who do you want to punish?
8 proof- what do you point to as evidence that your repentance is real?
9 comfort- who is comforted by your repentance?
3. God’s mercy is easily accessible, v. 10
Ephesians 2:4-6
Lamentations 3:22-24
Isaiah 30:18
Psalm 103:8
Hebrews 4:16
Psalm 23:6
Mental worship…
1. What is missing from the message you preach?
2. Which best describes the way you respond when you sin: appeasement or
repentance?
3. What did you hear today that you will think about this week?
4. Do you believe God’s mercy is as big as His sovereignty?
5. Do people enjoy themselves around you?
