Jeremy Utley - Comfort In The Midst Of Conviction
Summary

He emphasizes that a key mark of entering the new covenant is a sense of shame regarding one's iniquities. Furthermore, he points to 2 Corinthians 7, noting that God's desire is not merely sorrow, but rather that sorrow leads to radical repentance, which prevents spiritual loss.

Jeremy Utley - Expecting Conviction, Rejecting Condemnation
Jeremy Utley · Jan 17, 2020
The sermon discusses the 'narrow way' of Christian living, emphasizing that one must guard against dangers on both sides: worldliness and spiritual complacency. The speaker warns that while ignoring sin is dangerous, so is falling into the trap of condemnation—feeling bad about being convicted. True spiritual progress requires embracing conviction from the Holy Spirit, understanding that this process is not linear, and combating fears of God's final judgment by relying on the abundant forgiveness found in Scripture.
