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?

Ministering Like Jesus
The grace of Jesus is scandalous. It repulsed the religious of his day and surprised the sinners. His is an upside-down kingdom where those who think they belong miss it altogether, and those who question if they ever could enter, find a seat at the table. Jesus did not come for the healthy, but the sick; he did not come for the righteous, but sinners. Join us Sunday as we learn to engage with those Jesus ministered to and literally make room at the table for them to join in.
