As we enter the Lent season, Pastor Tonetta begins a new series, Forgive Us: Repentance and Repair. The first sermon gives us practical instructions for making amends with those we have harmed, understanding that to grow in maturity in Christ we also need to grow in maturity in repentance. This topic can be hard because many have been taught that the underlying cause for repentance is sin. Learning to look at repentance as restorative and not punitive, Tonetta walks us through one framework for true repair with others.
"If you believe that you can damage believe that you can fix. If you believe that you can damage believe that you can heal. If you believe that there is damage in our world believe that you can help repair it. And if you believe that there is damage in our world believe that our God is a God of healing and restoration." - Rebbe Nachman
