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
