March 17, 2024 • Ron Moore • Ezra 10, Ezra 9, Psalm 51:1, 2 Corinthians 7:9–10

Repentance consists of four connecting parts - the “Circle of Repentance”: · Repentance begins with awareness. · Awareness moves us to godly sorrow. · Godly sorrow drives us to the Person of God. · The power of God allows us to change. -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit http://biblechapel.org/devo.

Revival Begins In The Heart

March 10, 2024 • Ron Moore • Ezra 9, Psalm 139:23–24, John 6:44–45, Acts 11:18, 2 Timothy 2:25

Repentance begins with an awareness of sin. How do we become aware of our sins? · When we read God’s Word daily. · When the Holy Spirit convicts us. · When we are confronted with our rebellion. · When we are instructed in our ignorance. · When we are challenged in our indifference. The Believer’s Daily Prayer for awareness of sin Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! -------- DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron’s Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit http://biblechapel.org/devo.
