PGMTV Ep. 437 – Regret vs Repentance

Testimonies:
Hope, a New Life Student, shares a powerful testimony of transformation—from a childhood marked by family violence, depression, and addiction to a new life centered on Jesus Christ. Growing up in a broken home, she turned to self-harm and drugs to cope with pain until one night when God spoke to her through His Word and set her free. Today, Hope uses her gifts in music, art, and writing to glorify God and share His message of healing and redemption.

Velma sought safety and refuge at PGM following a terrifying attack that left her homeless and afraid. Surrounded by constant reminders of God’s Word, she experienced a spiritual awakening, realizing that Jesus was real and walking beside her through every trial.

Sermon:
“Regret vs Repentance”: In this message from Pastor Phil Kwiatkowski, the story of Judas and Peter in Matthew 26 comes alive as a lesson in the difference between regret and repentance. Both men failed Jesus—one through betrayal and the other through denial—but their endings could not be more different. Pastor Phil shows how Judas’s despair led him to destruction, while Peter’s sorrow led him to restoration and renewed purpose through God’s grace. This sermon challenges each of us to examine our hearts, recognize the deceptive power of sin, and embrace the hope and forgiveness found only in Jesus Christ, the God of second chances.
