"Repentance is not when you cry—it’s when you change."

But what is biblical repentance? For many, repentance gets reduced to an emotional moment—tears at an altar, guilt after failure, or a temporary burst of spiritual resolve. But true repentance is far more than sorrow. It’s a transformation that begins in the heart and shows up in how we live.

What Jesus Taught:
Jesus came preaching repentance.

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
— Matthew 4:17
That word repent (Greek: metanoeō) literally means “to change one’s mind.” But not just about anything—biblical repentance is a change of mind about God, sin, and the gospel.

A change of mind about God: from ignoring Him to honoring Him as holy, sovereign, and worthy of worship.
A change of mind about sin: from loving it to hating it, seeing it as rebellion, not just a mistake.
A change of mind about the gospel: from self-reliance to trusting fully in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as our only hope of salvation.
Repentance is More Than Emotion:
You can cry and still not repent. Judas Iscariot wept bitterly, but never truly turned to Christ. Emotions can accompany repentance—but they’re not the core of it.

The Apostle Paul said it this way:

“Godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.”
— 2 Corinthians 7:10
Godly sorrow isn’t just regret—it’s the catalyst for a change of direction.

God Is the One Who Leads Us to Repentance:
“Do you not know that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?”
— Romans 2:4
God is not waiting to crush the broken. He draws us with His kindness, leading us to see how far we’ve wandered—and how ready He is to welcome us home through Jesus.

So what should we do?

Repent.
Change your mind.
Turn from sin.
Run to Christ.

Jesus didn’t come just to improve our lives—He came to call sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32). And when we respond in faith, He gives us a new heart, a new direction, and a new life.

This is the beauty of repentance: it opens the door to restoration.

As the dust of renovation rises, so does our gratitude for the generations who came before us—men and women who loved this church, served faithfully, and gave sacrificially so that the gospel could be preached and lives transformed in these spaces.

We walk in their footsteps with thankful hearts, trusting God to continue His work in and through our church family.

This renovation is more than flooring and paint—it's about renewed spaces for gospel ministry, new relationships that will be formed, souls yet to be saved, and generations yet to hear.

May this place remain a beacon of hope where Christ is lifted high and lives are forever changed.

“One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.” – Psalm 145:4

If you are planning on joining us for worship in the morning, we will be worshipping in our fellowship hall.

We are in the midst of a remodel, and advise you to enter from our handicapped entrance on the top level.

We will still gather for worship, we just want all of our members and guests to be advised of the situation.

Much of our carpet has been removed so new flooring can be installed. We are excited about how things will come together when it’s all finished!

Guillermo Francisco and his wife Naomi joined our church about a year ago. They have such a passion to see people come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. Guillermo has led a group of faithful believers in Águila for 10 years, preaching the Word faithfully.

Tomorrow, he will be preaching at First Baptist Church Congress at 11AM! If you live in the Congress area, we would love for you to visit our sister church as Guillermo preaches the Word tommorow morning!
