In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

By John May - What is godly sorrow, and why does God want to see this trait within us when we seek reconciliation with Him after we have sinned? Godly sorrow is the realization that when we sin, we give offense to God. And godly sorrow then inspires us to seek God's grace and forgiveness and to correct the
Introduction: A great awakening among the Jewish people is coming in the future. It will come at the end of the age. It will come during the tribulation period, especially in the last half of the tribulation period. It will come especially, and in a massive way, at the time of the second advent. That great awakening is described in this 13th chapter. What is described is a great day of cleansing. And in this description, we find — not just the wonder of what God will graciously do for the Jewish people — but what God has done for ALL OF HIS PEOPLE in THE CLEANSING of His people. What God will do for Israel at the end of the age, God has done for you and me on the day that He saved us and forgave us of all our sins. We will consider this chapter under five headings, each one having to do with a relationship between God's saving acts and the cleansing of God's people. I. REPENTANCE AND CLEANSING (THE MOURNING OF THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER) This chapter is vitally connected to the ending of the previous one. "In that day" makes clear that a continuation of thought is occurring. This reaches back to verses 10-14 of the previous chapter and repeats the words at the beginning of verse 11. We can state the connection this way. THE GODLY GRIEF THAT GOD POURS OUT ON THE HOUSE OF DAVID AND THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM IS DESIGNED BY GOD TO BRING THEM TO THEIR CLEANSING. This is what we find wherever salvation occurs, wherever cleansing occurs, wherever justification occurs — a broken and contrite heart. GODLY SORROW. GENUINE REPENTANCE. ESV 2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. The faith t

You can probably look back on your life and think of quite a number of things that you did in the past that you now regret. Maybe it was using drugs, hanging out with the wrong people, or lying to someone. But God wants us to take it one step further and move from regret to repentance… which is turning from the sin to Christ. Otherwise, we'll just do it again and again and it can be a vicious cycle. Today on Abounding Grace we'll make a return visit to Second Corinthians seven, as pastor Ed Taylor shows us how God wants to change us from the inside out.

10/05/25 Wounded Healers: A Wounded Healer Embraces Godly Sorrow by City Tribe Church
Nicci Gamble is a middle school teacher and a very busy mother of three. Nicci's road to salvation was filled with betrayal and pain. Without the struggles, mistakes, and pain, Nicci would not be living for the Lord. The grace and love of Jesus have given her purpose and a heart to serve Him.
Father teaches us today about unselfish sorrow and contrition and how to have this holy disposition.

It is my privilege to invite you to today's sermon podcast. Drawing on Ephesians and 2 Corinthians, this message explores the difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow and urges listeners to confess sin, repent wholeheartedly, and embrace the forgiveness Jesus offers. Practical steps are given—confess quickly, repent sincerely, and remove the habits that keep you distant from God—so you can experience restored relationships, spiritual healing, and the freedom Christ provides. Habits of a Healthy Heart—4 Get Rid of Your Guilt: The Habit of Godly Sorrow 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 I. Introduction: “Caught in the Act!” Two Types of Sorrow Godly Sorrow à Repentance à salvation à No regrets Worldly Sorrow à Remorse à Spiritual death III. The Problem: Rebranding Sin Modern culture "sanitizes" and "rebrands" sin with less harsh words Defining Sin (Romans 3:23) hamartia - "missing the target" "All have sinned." Remorse vs. Repentance Remorse: being sorry for getting caught, not for the act. Rationalizing sin is the first sign of a cold heart. Repentance: a deep, honest brokenness over sin against God. The word "repent" literally means to "change one's mind which is evident by a change in actions.” How to Practice Godly Sorrow Confess quickly and repent wholeheartedly. 1 John 1:9 Conclusion: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn Matthew 5:4 - "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

2 Corinthians 7:10-11 speak about the differences between worldly sorrow and Godly sorrow. Worldly sorrow is regret over matters. Godly sorrow is a product of the Holy Spirit. We become sorrowful over our sin and sinfulness.When Isaiah the prophet saw the Lord high and lifted up his response was to say that he was a man of unclean lips who lived among a sinful people.Jesus is the Light of this world and as we draw closer to Him we will see our sin and sinfulness.1 John 1:9 tells us that if we confess our sin, that He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and all unrighteousness.

In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.2CO.7:12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.2CO.7:13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.2CO.7:14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.2CO.7:15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.2CO.7:16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

On this Memorial Day weekend, we reflected on the idea of a “wake-up call”—those moments in life when God, out of love, confronts us with truth that is hard to hear but necessary for our growth. Using Paul's relationship with the church in Corinth as our guide, we saw how even the most faithful can face seasons of pain, misunderstanding, and the need for hard conversations. Paul, after pouring his life into the Corinthians, learned that his integrity was being attacked by outsiders, and the church he loved did nothing to stop it. Instead of ignoring the issue, Paul wrote a severe, heartfelt letter—one that was painful to write and painful to receive, but absolutely necessary for the health of the community and for their spiritual growth.We explored how God often uses these moments of confrontation—whether through others or through circumstances—to forge us, much like metal is shaped in fire. Sometimes, the pain we experience is not the result of random suffering, but of God's purposeful, redemptive work in our lives. The question is not whether we will face these wake-up calls, but how we will respond: will we receive them and grow, or will we resist and remain unchanged?Through stories of real people—one battling addiction, another struggling with character issues, and even my own experience as a teenager—we saw that the wake-up call is not the end, but the beginning of transformation. Godly sorrow, the kind that leads to repentance and change, is different from worldly sorrow, which only brings regret and death. God's desire is not to punish, but to rescue, to bring us back from destructive paths and into abundant life.We ended with the story of the prodigal son, a reminder that when we finally respond to God's call and turn back to Him, He runs to meet us with open arms. No matter how far we've wandered or how deep the mess, our Father celebrates the return of rebels. The invitation is simple but profound: don't ignore the wake-up call. Lean into the forging, trust God's love, and take a step toward Him today.[00:00] - Welcome[02:55] - Paul's Transformation and Mission[06:57] - The Strategic Importance of Corinth[09:07] - Attacks on Paul's Integrity[10:43] - The “Severe Letter” and Hard Conversations[13:08] - The Pain and Necessity of Confrontation[15:28] - The Forging Process: God's Purpose in Pain[17:35] - When Suffering Is Self-Inflicted[19:06] - Responding to God's Wake-Up Call[20:11] - Paul's Agony and Waiting for Titus[22:04] - The Weight of Reputation and Fear[23:28] - Real-Life Wake-Up Calls: Stories of Addiction and Growth[33:25] - The Joy of Repentance and Change[34:04] - Redemptive Pain vs. Worldly Sorrow[39:20] - Parenting, Discipline, and Redemptive Pain[47:12] - Godly Sorrow and True Repentance[52:01] - The Prodigal Son: God's Heart for Return[53:08] - Invitation to Respond and Prayer[57:03] - Closing Prayer and Blessing

Godly sorrow opens our eyes to our need for His cleansing and purification. When Isaiah stood before God, his deep awareness of sin led to repentance, and only then was he made ready to carry out God's calling.
