Sermons About Contrition
Jesus Wants To Break Your Heart
In what's commonly called "The Beatitudes", Jesus taught his followers what it truly means to live a life that is "blessed" by God. Their ideas of "blessing" were turned upside-down by Christ's teaching, and so this series on the Beatitudes is titled "The Upside-Down Life". Jesus taught that those who mourn are "blessed". What did he mean when he said this? We'll see here that the heart that mourns is a heart that is compassionate for others, a heart that is contrite over its own sin, and a heart that will be comforted by Jesus.

The Word and Revival (Nehemiah 7:73b-8:18)
The example of Nehemiah and Israel in his day challenges us not to lose our hold on the Bible. We are to teach and understand God's word, receive the word with appropriate contrition and joy, and ultimately to obediently apply God's word to all of life.
