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?

Don't Shrink Back!
Paula Radcliffe was the first woman to cross the finish line at the 2007 New York City Marathon. Zoe Koplowitz finished last at 28 hours, 45 minutes. Multiple sclerosis slowed Zoe down, but it didn’t keep her from crossing the finish line. Wearing back and knee braces, she walked the entire route using crutches. For her, finishing the race was "a total blessing," and said afterward, "I'm just extremely grateful. I don't get any younger, and my MS doesn't get any better." The Christian life is a marathon. The route doesn’t get any smoother, and the struggles of life still get in our way. Hebrews assures us that an eternal reward awaits those who don’t give up, drop out, or shrink back! Join us tomorrow as Hebrews challenges us to keep running the race.
Scripture References: Hebrews 10:32-39
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.
