Praying for “the gift of tears”

FIRST15
About this episode

As we near the end of our week looking at the good news of grace, today we’re going to explore how repentance enables us to see ourselves as we really are. It’s often easy to downplay our own sins and shortcomings, yet when we see ourselves in light of God’s holiness, the true picture comes into view. Let’s ask God to reveal his holiness and truth today as we receive his grace through repentance.

Our Scripture for today comes from Acts 9:5-6, and today's worship is Cry of the Broken by Hillsong.
