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?

Pursuing Peace
As Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the crowds sang praises to Him as the Prince of Peace. A few days later, that same crowd screamed for Him to be crucified. Although 2,000 years have passed, many in our world still don’t know what to do with Jesus. Some worship Him, while others trample upon His teachings. We’ll begin unpacking our third church-wide priority for 2023: Engaging our culture with truth and love. From 1 Peter 3:8-22, we’ll learn how to pursue peace in a society steeped in the belief that truth is relative and serving oneself is the highest goal in life.
Scripture References: 1 Peter 3:8-22
