    This message addressed a question asked by my Sermon Planning Group about how to understand and respond to memories of past sin once we come to live in the grip of grace

    "BIG IDEA":Paul’s heartfelt words in 2 Corinthians 7 help us avoid the destruction of haunting regret (in ourselves and others) by suggesting three differences between worldly sorrow and Godly Sorrow. NOTE: Also used in preparing this sermon is a chapel message delivered by Dr. Zach Eswine at ...read more

    Feeling guilty about your sins does absolutely no good unless it motivates you to change your heart!

    When Sorrow Is In Tune With God

    This sermon deals with what can happen in our lives when we respond to sorrow in a godly way; it can bring about repentance, redemption as well as renewal.

    Sorrow and heartache are common to all of us. To pass through life without feeling the hurt of disappointment, the sting of rebuke or the pain of unfulfilled desires is impossible. Sorrow is a part of life and it comes not only at the point of death, but at any sense of loss. The church at ...read more

    This is how Peter and Judas dealt with sorrow at the end of Jesus’ life.

    2 Corinthians 7:10 (KJV) For Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.   Why do people choose life and some choose death? Many times it is how we perceive things. Or how our past has shaped our lives. We tend to let those we are ...read more

     | 8,600 views

    We need a godly sorrow in order to repent truly and turn from our sins unto God, but merely feeling sorry or guilty is a sorrow of the world that will only produce a false repentance.

    REPENTANCE THROUGH GODLY SORROW. Study Text: 2 Corinthians 7: 10 – 11 For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted, but the grief of the world works out death.

    Paul, The Emotional Case Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 10, 2012

    Neither Paul nor we are meant to be Mr. Spock from Star Trek; Paul was comfortable with emotion, but -- even when he was emotionally intense -- he kept his eyes on Jesus and sought to follow God’s will, not his own.

    Paul, the Emotional Case (2 Corinthians 7:2-16) 1. I love this old Jewish joke: During a service at an old synagogue in Eastern Europe, when the Shema prayer was said, half the congregants stood up and half remained sitting. The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, ...read more
