January 12, 2025 "Godward Grief" 2 Corinthians 7:10-16. A sermon by Pastor Brent Bullard

Big Idea: Godward grief will transform a pit of sorrow into a well of blessing within us, those who've pursued us, and the body of Christ in ways we will never fully grasp

I. Godward grief delivers us upward from the pit and forward with God (vv. 10-11)

II. Godward grief blesses those who've pursued us with the comfort of an equal yoke (vv. 12-13a)

III. Godward grief blesses the body of Christ today and tomorrow in ways we will never fully grasp (vv. 13b-16)
