    "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.”2 Corinthians 7:10 NIV“Regret is sorrow over the consequences of sin, but not over the sin itself. If there had been no consequences, there would have been no sorrow. There is no sorrow over the sin for what it is in itself, for how it grieves God and violates our relation ship with him. The focus is horizontal… not at all vertical… as soon as the consequences go away, the behaviour comes back. The heart has not become disgusted with the sin itself, so the sin remains rooted!” Tim Keller

This sermon contrasts earthly wisdom, characterized by envy and self-seeking, with godly wisdom that flows from above. The central message emphasizes that true wisdom is demonstrated through humble conduct and good works rather than mere intellectual knowledge. Key theological themes include the necessity of salvation by grace alone and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in producing righteous fruit. The preacher urges believers to examine their hearts for purity, peaceability, gentleness, and mercy as evidence of divine wisdom.

    Proverbs 31:10-31 | Wedding SermonIn this wedding sermon for Kaibo and Sarah, Pastor Rojas walks through Proverbs 31 as what it actually is: the final word of a book that has spent thirty chapters training a son's eyes toward true wisdom—not a scorecard for wives, but an oracle taught to a king by his own mother, an acrostic poem, A to Z, pointing to a woman whose strength, generosity, and fearlessness all flow from one root: the fear of the Lord.But the question “who can find her” doesn't stop with marriage. It reaches all the way to the cross. Because none of us can earn our way into being found — not by a spouse, and not by God. We are found. Christ himself spent his life seeking a bride who could never make herself worthy, and he paid for her with his own blood. Every ounce of value you have was set not by what you've done, but by what he was willing to pay.This sermon is for anyone getting married, anyone already married, and anyone who has ever wondered whether they're loved because they're good enough — or because Someone decided they were worth everything, long before they had anything to offer.Subscribe & Share if this sermon strengthened your faith.

    Have you ever hit rock bottom—and still returned to the same sin? Maybe your marriage almost ended. Your addiction was exposed. You lost something important. You cried, apologized, and promised you'd change. But nothing really changed. That's because being broken isn't the same as being repentant. Peter and Judas both betrayed Jesus. Both experienced deep sorrow. But their sorrow moved them in opposite directions. Judas moved away from Jesus. Peter eventually returned to Him. Second Corinthians 7:10 explains why: "Godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death." Worldly grief hates the consequences of sin. Godly grief hates the sin itself. One asks for relief. The other turns back to God. In this Brief, Vince Miller explains why pain alone cannot transform us, what biblical repentance actually looks like, and how James 4:6–10 calls us to submit, resist, draw near, cleanse, and humble ourselves before God. Don't waste your breaking. Let it drive you toward Christ—not away from Him. Subscribe for practical Bible teaching that helps you know God's Word, understand God's Word, and apply God's Word.

How is it possible? It's living a life based on Godly values. I'd hazard a guess a person like this lives their values in this order: God, Family, and Service.  When we live by our values, decisions are easier, relationships are easier, and knowing where to invest our time, talent and treasure is easier. Because our values are our priority. And our heart lines up with our values, and those line up with our thoughts, our thoughts then direct our words and actions.  How are YOU living your values at work today?

    What heroes do your kids look up to? Boys and girls need better examples than secular YouTube celebrities and pop music stars. They need real heroes that will inspire courage, truth, charity, and perseverance. The popularity of the Odyssey shows us how we long for moral heroes.

    New Hope Daily SOAP - Daily Devotional Bible Reading

    Daily Dose of Hope July 27, 2026   Scripture: 2 Kings 19   Prayer:  Almighty God, Thank you for today and new week.  Thank you for providing for us, caring for us, and protecting us.  Over thousands upon thousands of years, you have taken care of your people.  We give you glory and praise, for who you are.  Thank you, most of all, for sending Jesus, who moved into our neighborhood so that we could begin to understand your love.  Wow.  There are no words to adequately thank you for the sacrifice that saved our lives.  Lord Jesus, we love you and we thank you.  Help us grow in holiness, continue to transform us so we can be a better reflection of you.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  What a great summer in the Word it has been.  We have been working our way through 1 & 2 Kings.  There is so much substance in these books.  On the surface, you might not think so, but we learn a lot about God's intolerance for sin, but also his deep mercy for his people.  Our reading for today is 2 Kings 19.   In today's chapter, the Assyrians are just chomping at the bit to conquer Judah.  King Hezekiah and his leaders are grieving and pleading before the Lord.  They have put on ash and sackcloth.  Someone wanting to show a deeply repentant heart would often wear sackcloth, sit in ashes, and put ashes on top of his head. Sackcloth was a coarse material usually made of black goat's hair, making it quite uncomfortable to wear. The ashes signified desolation and ruin.    In an effort to seek Godly wisdom, they go to the prophet Isaiah.  Isaiah, not surprisingly, says that God will not allow the Assyrians to conquer them.  But the Assyrian king taunts them in a letter, asking how in the world they think their God can defeat the mighty Assyria.  Hezekiah's reaction is moving.  He takes the letter and lays it out before the Lord.  Humbly (key word there), Hezekiah asks the Lord to deliver them from the hands of the Assyrians.   And God answers.  God is responding to the Assyrians' letter with his own taunts.  He is quite clear that he despises the Assyrians' mockery and he will take care of them.  Judah will come out on top and it will be clear that God Almighty is the one who accomplished it.   Sure enough, an angel of the Lord ensures that 185,000 Assyrian soldiers die in their camp that night, so many that they must withdraw.  And then Sennacherib, the Assyrian king, is killed by his own sons.    Judah is the victor.  God has saved them.   There are certain things that really stand out to me in this chapter.  The first is that arrogance does not pay.  Assyria was so full of themselves that they did not and could not even conceive of anyone beating them.  Arrogance and pride will always lead to negative consequences.  Humility is difficult but this is what Jesus modeled for us.  Is there any arrogance or pride that needs to be rooted out of your life?   Second, I was so impressed and moved by how Hezekiah just laid everything out before the Lord.  He knew that Judah was weak and had no power.  But God has plenty of power.  He simply gave it to the Lord and asked for his help.  He surrendered it to God.  God hears and responds. How many of us have something we need to surrender to the Lord right now?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

    In this message from James 3:13–18, we learn the difference between worldly wisdom and Godly wisdom. Worldly wisdom is driven by jealousy, selfish ambition, and chaos. Godly wisdom shows up through humility, peace, mercy, and good fruit. Real wisdom is not just knowing the right things—it is living them out. This message invites us to ask God for wisdom, choose wise influences, and become people who bring peace wherever we go.

    This sermon explores the exhortations for Christian households in Titus 2:1-10, emphasizing that godly character and conduct serve as a powerful testimony to the watching world. The central theme asserts that true godliness grows from the gospel of grace, linking right living directly to sound doctrine. By addressing various demographics within the home, the text aims to correct false teachings and establish a culture of respectability that honors God. The preacher highlights how such lives bring honor, defense, and adornment to the gospel message by demonstrating its transformative power. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to maintain close communion with Christ so their homes may reflect His beauty and attract others to faith.

    The Apostle Paul finds himself in a sticky situation. What is he to do with a runaway slave? But not just any runaway, it's the slave of a friend, a christian, and a leader in a church he planted. Sometimes we find ourselves in sticky situations. Paul navigates his predicament with wisdom and discernment through shrewd application of the core of the gospel message; reconciliation. The problem that we face is the temptation to oversimplify complex situations; boiling them down to quick and dirty solutions. Paul shows us how Godly wisdom leads to tactful discernment. And this tactful discernment can help us navigate any tricky predicament we find ourselves in.

    Summer is rolling along, and the Raising Godly Girls Podcast continues a fun week of fan-fave replays!   On this Thursday episode originally aired in May 2026, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose continue digging deeper on body image and practical ways to instill a healthy approach for our girls today.   In a time when cultural messages and marketing language are thrown around 24 hours a day, seven days a week, girls are bombarded by plenty of ways to think about their bodies, but none of it aligns with Scripture. So how can we help our daughters take hold of the messages, strip the lies of their power and urgency, and help girls rest in the Lord content with how He designed their bodies?    It's important for girls to understand that trends come and go—and it happens lightning fast these days! So if she's going to chase trends, she will likely always feel like she can never arrive—and she'll have no money! The Bible talks about the eternal beauty of a Godly girl's life that reflects Christ. This gives a more sustainable framework for girls to confidently navigate, trusting that God is working in their hearts no matter what the outward appearance looks like. Finally, the hosts offer a sobering look at how a mom's own baggage with body image can be inadvertently passed down to a daughter without a Scripture-empowered renewed mind.      Three Things to Remember:   When trends are your girl's measuring stick for beauty, she can be left feeling less-than.   Helping your girl weigh the temporary against the eternal will guide her to order beauty in a mature way.   Since your girl is watching how you handle your own sense of body image, it's important that we model this for her in Christian maturity.   Scriptures Referenced in this Episode:   1 Timothy 4:8   1 Peter 3:4   Romans 12:1-2   Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

    What if the problem isn't that you want too much, but that you want it for the wrong kingdom? In this special episode of The Pursuit, recorded at Act Like Men Conference, James Griffin sits down with Ruslan KD, one of the most recognizable Christian voices online, to talk about ambition, purpose, and what it takes to stop living like the main character of your own story. Ruslan's path runs from a refugee childhood in Azerbaijan through gang life, an arrest at eleven, and hardened atheism, to a radical conversion and a platform reaching millions.But this conversation is really about the two men sitting in every room: the lazy man doing just enough to get by, and the ambitious man crushing it while wasting it all on himself. Ruslan makes the case that both believe the same lie, and he lays out what Scripture actually says about godly ambition, why your job is your assignment and not your purpose, and how to know if your time, talent, and treasure are building God's kingdom or just your castle. If you've ever wondered whether your drive is honoring God or competing with Him, this one is for you.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode Guide These guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus: https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.To help support this mission and work, visit https://www.mycpcc.com/giveTo learn more about all of our locations or what is coming up at Crosspoint City, check out https://www.crosspointcity.com/ or follow us on your favorite social platform @CrosspointCity0:00 Intro0:12 Welcome to Act Like Men with Ruslan KD2:00 From Azerbaijan to America: refugee, fatherless, gang life6:08 How growing up without a dad shaped him8:36 From atheist to follower of Jesus11:17 A word for the man who hasn't believed yet15:04 More is caught than taught: walking with a skeptic16:08 Why he fights for the Bride of Christ online20:04 Where the church is most under attack today22:46 How to discern which online voices to trust24:41 Handling the outrage: thick skin, tender hearts25:45 Why he wrote Godly Ambition27:06 The two extremes: all ambition is evil vs. ambition as North Star28:08 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life31:25 Time, talent, and treasure: godly or selfish?36:08 A challenge for the lazy man38:28 A challenge for the prideful man40:53 You're not the main character43:12 Ruslan prays for the men45:14 Closing
