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?

Words of Affection
If you could choose your final words, what would they be? Most certainly, they would express love and gratitude for family and friends. You’d carefully select them to bring blessing to all who heard. Jesus spoke His final words from the cross. In the six hours of His death, He uttered seven sayings that have forever changed our lives and the world. He spoke of forgiveness, salvation, affection, anguish, suffering, victory, and contentment. It is in these dying words that Jesus promises us new life. Join us this Sunday as we hear Words of Affection from Jesus and learn how to return this affection to both Him and others in response to His great love for us. We can’t wait to worship together!
