As I read Hebrews 11, I see people who seemed to be struggling through life, people who experienced hard times, people who endured adversity. These are the people being held up as people of faith. This is the kind of faith God is calling us to. A faith that will hold up when times are hard. So if you find yourself struggling to live out your faith, you are not alone, in fact, you are in good company.

Many of you are familiar with Bob Seger. If you don't recognize his name, you are at least familiar with his music. Bob Segar is a musician, a songwriter and a singer but more than that, he is a storyteller. His story/songs would draw you in and make you feel and think deeply. This morning's message shares its title with one of Bob Seger’s songs, Against The Wind. Many of you know the song. Some of you have lived the song. Some of you are living it right now. But I believe that we can learn from God’s Word today that we don’t have to live our lives running “Against The Wind”.

What is your attitude when you first wake up? Some people wake up and immediately begin praying. Some prayers might sound like this:

"Dear Lord, Thank you for this new day. It is a beautiful blessing to be alive and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for me today..."

Other prayers might sound like this:

"Dear Lord, So far I've done all right. I haven't gossiped, haven't lost my temper, haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. I'm really glad about that. But in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed. And from then on, I'm going to need a lot more help."

Some of us might pray, "Good morning, Lord!" and others might pray, "Good Lord! It's morning!"

Waking up every morning is a blessing. Everyday is a new day, a new adventure, a chance to start over, to be positive and productive. In Isaiah 43:18-19, God says, “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” I believe that God is calling us to a new day, a new beginning with new challenges, new opportunities, and new blessings.

Repentance is not just a one time expression or experience. It is a practice of which we will need to engage for the rest of our lives. When we incorporate The Practice Of Repentance into our lives, we continually turn away from our old worldly desires and toward God, looking more and more like His son, Jesus, and reflecting His love, mercy and grace to the world around us. Our text reveals some truths to us that can help us make Repentance a regular Practice in our lives.

Life is a journey. We are all trying to navigate our way through life. Some of us are just coasting through with no real aim or direction. Some of us have hit dead ends multiple times. Some of us have gotten lost because we followed the wrong directions. Whether you have GPS or a fold up map, whether you are finding your own way or just flying by the seat of your pants, there are points in your journey where you just have to make u-turns. Let’s see what we can learn from Zaccheus’ encounter with Jesus that might help us on our own Route To Repentance.

Today, and for the next couple of weeks, I want us to dig a little deeper into the meaning of Repentance. Some of you might say, “Pastor, I know what repentance is. I’ve been in church all my life and I’ve heard about it all my life” and others of you might say, "I’ve heard the word ‘repentance’ but I’m not really sure that I fully understand its meaning." I would just ask you to keep your ears, your mind, and your heart open today in the hope that God would reveal something new to you about Him, and about yourself, and that you would respond in obedience to what God reveals to you today and in the coming weeks.
