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?

CloseMarc Swenson - May 8, 2022
Bitter or Better
Happy Mother’s Day! This Sunday, we’ll step away from our study in the book of Hebrews and meet a woman in Scripture unknown to many. Though obscure, Hannah’s story is one that just about every woman can relate to and learn from in one way or another. Join us as we get to know a woman of God who will teach much about what it means to walk with God through discouragement, mistreatment, and unanswered prayers. We can’t wait to worship together.
Scripture References: 1 Samuel 1:1-22
