Next Message: Godly Grief
Dan Mitchum - April 28, 2024
“Good grief!” is what Charlie Brown laments when crestfallen or dismayed. But is there such a thing as good grief? The Bible says there is—but it calls it “godly grief.” Second Corinthians 7:10 says, “For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly grief produces death.” Tomorrow, we’ll return to our new study in the book of Micah. God’s warning spoken through Micah is shocking in its severity. And how does Micah respond? Does he gloat because God is finally threatening to judge His people after centuries of rebellion? No, Micah does something entirely different. He grieves—not for himself, but for his friends, neighbors, and those in the nation he loved. And Micah longs for his people to be filled with godly grief—a grief that leads to repentance and salvation. When we look at our culture today, do we grieve like Micah?

Grow Up!
A reality TV show featured a man who proudly lives his life as an “adult baby.” At age 30, he sleeps in a crib and eats his dinner from a personalized high chair while wearing a baby bib and pajamas. He said he first got the urge to act like a baby at age 14 when he bought himself a pacifier and a baby bottle. Everyone would agree there’s something very wrong with an adult choosing to live like an infant. But what about Christians, who, instead of maturing in their faith, decide to keep living as spiritual infants? Hebrews will call out those stuck in spiritual infancy. He’ll tell them to grow up! Truth be told, we all have some growing up to do in our faith. Join us tomorrow for a challenging yet encouraging study of Hebrews.
Scripture References: Hebrews 5:11-14, Hebrews 6:1-12
From Series: "Hebrews: JESUS IS GREATER"
The overall message of Hebrews is JESUS IS GREATER. Greater than what? Jesus is greater than everything! The early Christians needed to be reminded of the supremacy of Christ over all people and things.
