Work through each session at your own pace. Every session includes teaching, scripture callouts, reflection questions, and a closing prayer.
We begin with the diagnostic question at the heart of this study. Scripture consistently links loving God with hating evil — not merely disliking sin's consequences, but grieving over sin itself as an offense against a holy God.
Jesus describes four kinds of hearts that receive the Word. Only one produces lasting fruit. This session helps us discern whether our faith has taken deep root -- and reassures us that the Shepherd does not lose His own.
Even the demons believe -- and shudder. This session unpacks the profound difference between cold factual assent and genuine, transformative heart belief that is relational, living, and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
True repentance is not merely feeling sorry -- it is a change of mind and direction. This session explores godly sorrow versus worldly sorrow, the Prodigal Son's heart-level repentance, and the Good Shepherd who carries straying lambs home.
This final session moves from diagnosis to practice. How do we cultivate a godly hatred of sin without falling into despair or legalism? Six grace-powered means of growth -- and the assurance that even imperfect growth is evidence of the Spirit's work.
