When we sin, our first instinct is to cover it up and hide it—we convince ourselves that if no one knows about it, we won’t have to face the consequences of our sin. However, Proverbs 28:13 tells us that those who conceal their sins will not prosper. Rather, only those who confess and forsake them will find mercy! Join us for our sixteenth annual men’s conference as we dig into scripture together to explore the importance and significance of true repentance as we seek God’s mercy in our daily lives.
