Jeremy Utley - Three Things To Do Before Sharing The Gospel
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian living requires having the fullness of Jesus' heart, which is characterized by profound love for sinners. He uses 1 Peter 2:21-23 to illustrate that Christ's example was not just in enduring reviling without retaliation, but in his ultimate mission to save and forgive, even those who crucified him. The central message is that our goal must be to emulate Christ's boundless compassion for the lost, rather than merely achieving personal peace or non-retaliation.

Jeremy Utley - Mourning over the "small sins"
Jeremy Utley · Oct 19, 2015
The speaker emphasizes that Christian life requires a commitment to pleasing God, which involves both cleansing ourselves of sin and restoring what has been neglected. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 29, he suggests that true worship requires us to invite Jesus, the High Priest, into our hearts to clean out all uncleanness. Furthermore, he stresses the importance of mourning over even 'small sins,' noting that this brokenheartedness is necessary to fully experience God's comfort and ministry.
