Sticky Note: God builds his kingdom (culture) through repenting, believing, followers of Jesus
Repenting is a regular turning from the thinking, speaking, and acting like the old ruler (satan)
-it is a gift from God, as we "find ourselves" repenting
-God by his grace softens our hearts
Believing in the gospel always accompanies repentance
-a person that KNOWS they are forgiven through Christ is FREE to repent
Following King Jesus to build his kingdom is our main purpose for living
You are salt, light, and leaven in the places God has placed you. As a repenting, believing, follower, your spot in the kingdom is being influenced through you, and his culture/kingdom is being built there (even if you can't see it!).
