Repentance and the Renewal of Mind
James Hagerty
1h 4m
December 29, 2025The speaker examines the concept of repentance as a change of mind rather than a change of heart, using Romans 12:1-2 to illustrate the transformation that occurs when one stops conforming to worldly patterns. The sermon argues that John the Baptist communicated with urgency to convey the necessity of mental renewal, and applies this principle to loving God and neighbor as the greatest commandments, with practical consideration of how listeners should approach relationships and self-regard in the coming year.
Scripture: Romans 12:1-2
