In this brief sermon, Billy Sticker explains that the biblical concept of repentance comes from the Greek word metanoia, which literally means a change of mind. He emphasizes that true repentance is not merely verbal confession but a mental transformation—changing how one thinks about one's actions. He illustrates this by noting that when a person changes their mind, they then cry out to God, and that much of God's work in a believer’s life is to reshape their mentality, which in turn can affect those around them.

Chapters

You know, the word repent actually means to change your mind. If you look up the word in the Greek, it's metanoia, and it means to change your mind. And when we are to repent, that's really what we're doing. We are changing how we think about what we're doing. And so that's what happened here. He changed his mind, and then he cried out to God. And much of what God is taking you through is to change you mentally, to change your mentality over you and even the people around you.
