When you know you have sinned, you must repent. To repent is to be sorry for disobeying God. It also means deciding not to sin again. Your decision is called repentance. It is more than just a feeling. It is more than tears. It is deciding to do what's right. This topic uses the true story of John Newton, who wrote the words of “Amazing Grace,” to demonstrate that real repentance brings about real change. Includes: ice breaker, Scripture references, discussion questions, and interesting activity ideas involving the story of Jonah and praying for the salvation of our neighbors and communities.
