Daniel — Dare to Repent
Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our series through the book of Daniel. This week, in chapter 9:1-19, we see that the holiness of God should drive us to our knees in repentance, not just for the sins of today, but for the fallenness of humanity. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.

1. Repentance requires personal and corporate confession (4‑6).
• Most of us are familiar with the idea of personal confession of sin.
• But the reality is that we should also consider corporate confession.
• Wickedness, rebellion, disobedience, and failure to listen rank among the top corporate sins.
Action: Consider, what are some areas of corporate sin for which you should be repenting?

2. Repentance requires us to acknowledge that ultimately our sins are against the God of the universe (7‑14).
• When sin is allowed to linger it breeds shame.
• Because sin is ultimately against God, God has the right to discipline.
• God's discipline seeks to turn the sinner back to God.

3. Repentance requires an appeal to God, not based on our righteousness, but on His mercy (15‑19).
• Appealing to God is the correct response to sin.
• Calling on the God who mercifully forgives is appropriate.
• For the Christian, our appeal for mercy is grounded in the cross of Christ.
Action: Take a second, consider the cross, come to God and ask for forgiveness, and joyfully praise the God who has forgiven.
