What do we do with our regrets?  If your faith is in Jesus, you must see that the gospel of Christ grants us freedom from the condemnation that still burdens us daily.


Main Points:

1. Everyone listening today to this episode has had the feeling of regret. You feel regret over a word spoken, a mistake made, a poor decision, or a missed opportunity.  We all have things we’ve said or done that we wish we could do-over. What would you go back and change?

2. At times, the Holy Spirit will reveal to us opportunities we have to ask forgiveness, seek reconciliation and do our part to correct mistakes in the past. Other times, there is simply nothing that can be done accept submit them to the grace of God.

3. So if your regrets are weighing you down, examine them. What is giving them life? Once you know, lay them aside and turn your eyes to Jesus. Surrender your regrets to your Savior. 


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Romans 8:1-2 - “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.”

Hebrews 12:1-2 be your verses for this week. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
