James – In Name Only

In this sermon from The Dirty Dozen series, Wayne Surface examines the life and confession of Judas Iscariot from Matthew 27. Though Judas confessed “I have sinned,” Wayne explores whether his repentance was genuine or merely sorrow over being caught. The message challenges us to examine our own hearts: Do we take personal responsibility for our sins? Do we have true, godly repentance—a change of direction and heart—or just worldly sorrow? As Christians, we must acknowledge both our sin nature and our individual sins, confess them without excuses, and turn fully to Jesus Christ for forgiveness and salvation.
