Sermon: What is church? Serious about our sin

We have to get serious about dealing with our sin.  We can be honest about our sin in church.
-the church is a place where the gospel needs to be proclaimed over and over...
-when you repent and are saved, transformation takes place, and you begin to have a hatred for sin Mt 4:17; Rev 2:5, 2:22, 3:2, 3:19.
REPENTANCE
-2 Cor 7:8-11 sorrow led to repentance.
-there is grief involved in repentance. We need to be sorry for our sin.
-our sin must repulse us. Energy to fight against sin. Hate sin.
-desire to make things right with other people.
-Godly sorrow leaves no regrets, but worldly sorrow leads to death. Worldly sorrow is more about us (sorry I got caught, sorry it hurt you...). Luke 18:9-14
