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?

Take Heart
The mass shooting in Maine this past week was a shock to all of us. Between the chaos and evil at home and all that is going on overseas, we may wonder where God is in all of this. This week, we’ll take a break from our Philippians series to hear from Jesus Himself. The message is titled ‘Take Heart’, and it comes from the promise of Jesus in John 16 to give us His peace in a world full of trouble. If you are anxious, disturbed, or angry with what you see taking place around us, or maybe you can’t even handle thinking about it, come, join us, and find peace and rest offered in Christ. If you know of a friend in the same place, invite them. They’ll walk away with hope!
