Today’s Story

football season gets underway, the buzz around Coleraine is all about the new
star quarterback—just one more threat to the Richter family status. But as Mikey

Do
you ever get a feeling of sadness over some sin in your life?
In
Matthew 5:4, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be
comforted.” The meaning of “mourn”
in this verse is to be sad over the sins in ones life. So, when God sees that kind of sadness
in us, He is moved to compassion and the verse says that we will “be
comforted”. The big church words
for this process are: repentance and forgiveness, but they’re so much more than
just words! Take some time today to
read the story of the Lost Son in Luke 15 starting in verse 11. This is an awesome picture of repentance and forgiveness, or mourning
and comfort. When we come back to
God broken over our sin, His ONLY response toward us is love… forgiveness…
comfort!
