Psalm 32 Tanner Callison August 9th, 2026

We close Renew in Me where David ends Psalm 51, not with a triumphant performance, but with a broken and contrite heart laid open before God. This week we discover why humility is the only sacrifice God never refuses, why David's repentance doesn't stop at his own soul but expands to pray for an entire city, and what it looks like when personal renewal becomes communal revival.

Christians should draw near to God. That is an obvious truth. But what does that mean and how do we do that? In our text today, James is going give us some concrete actions to take to draw near to the Lord.

[Psalms 51] Biblical repentance leads to godly joy

In Psalm 51, we hear David powerfully articulating the gospel through a broken, contrite heart to a steadfastly loving, abundantly merciful God. It is our prayer that as we go through David's penitential lament for his grievous sins, you will see how God's Steadfast Love Creates a Broken, Contrite Heart to Worship Him.

Psalm 51 - James Choi

In Acts 2, most people focus on the miracle of languages and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. But there is another miracle in this chapter that is often missed: when Peter confronts the crowd with their guilt in the death of Messiah, they do not deny it—they ask, “What shall we do?” This message explores the power of conviction, repentance, and a contrite heart, and why humility before God is essential for entering His kingdom through Yeshua the Messiah. A sober and encouraging reflection on sin, repentance, grace, and the mercy of God.Acts 2, overlooked miracle, contrite heart, repentance, Peter sermon, Holy Spirit, Yeshua, Messiah, Son of God, Christian teaching, Bible message, gospel preaching, conviction of sin, humility before God, kingdom of God, forgiveness, resurrection, salvation, Yahweh, Shalom

Sermon by Leonard Sankey A Broken and Contrite Heart Pilgrim Nazarene Camp in Dickson, TN 2012 www.ihconvention.com

Following Job's sufferings, mourning, arguments with his friends, and God's own speech to him, Job makes his final response in Job 42. But the Hebrew of Job 42:6 has been hotly contested in scholarship, with its interpretation bearing significant implications for how this afflicted God-fearer has emerged from his long-awaited encounter with God. Dr. Ellie Paley has taught courses at Duke Divinity School and Jerusalem University College, and is transitioning to a postdoctoral position at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv. Her doctoral research on Divine-Human Dialogue and Resolution in the Book of Job is forthcoming with Brill.    Check out related programs at Wheaton College: B.A. in Classical Languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew): https://bit.ly/4vrZZaV  M.A. in Biblical Exegesis: https://bit.ly/480BQ1j 

4th Step – On Obedience The Ladder of Divine Ascent was written primarily for monks. However, the words of Saint John Climacus at the beginning of the first chapter indicate that his intention is to address every person who longs for salvation. He says: “The gates of eternal life are open to all. The goal of our life is to follow Christ and to become like Him in His divine love.” The reflections offered here are intended as preparation for formation meetings. They focus on the teaching of Saint John Climacus about the stages of spiritual ascent, which we find in his famous work, The Ladder.  

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Mar22.pdf * In the conclusion of our study of the book of Hebrews, we saw the importance and call for the body of Christ to pray for one another. * As we enter our spring week of prayer and fasting, it is good to remind ourselves that we consider these weeks to be times when we are seeking true revival, or strengthening, in our individuals walks with God, and our collective service to Him. * The term "revival" refers to bringing something "back to life." There is the assumption that there was "life" previously. * Today, we will look at the importance of Contrition in your relation with God. Biblical Contrition is ... A humble and penitent attitude which comes as a result of being "broken" (pridefully) by your moral failure, or comprehension of your finiteness, in contrast to the holiness and eternality of God; knowing that He is your ultimate judge. * We will begin by reading five different Biblical illustrations: 2 Kings 22:8-20 (re: Josiah), Isaiah 6:1-8 (re: Isaiah), Daniel 9:1-19 (re: Daniel), and Luke 18:9-14 (re: the Tax Collector). Lord willing, we will then consider the consistent pattern that we see through these illustrations as we see them lived out in the life and prayer of David. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on March 22, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

Most of us carry hidden wounds—brokenness and contrition that can feel impossible to heal. But what if the key to true restoration lies in embracing our brokenness instead of hiding it? Jay Love uncovers a transformative perspective rooted in Psalm 51, showing how surrendering our shattered hearts can unlock God's deepest pleasure and healing. It is through our brokenness that God's love truly shines. Allow yourself to be vulnerable and let His Spirit uplift and empower you—because when you come to Him broken and contrite, you open the door to a divine exchange where He loves you forever, just as you are.#BrokenAndContrite#Psalm51#FaithJourney#SpiritualGrowth#DivineRestoration#EmbraceVulnerability#StrengthInWeakness#HeartfeltSurrender#HealingThroughFaith#SpiritualRenewal

Pastor Michelle OetkenBroken and... | Luke 23:39-43Faith talk questions: When in your life have you felt remorse?Date: 03/15/2026 at Sheridan Lutheran Church, Lincoln, NE

Take the great redemptive work of Christ, and all of His benefits, with you tonight as you consider your awesome God and Heavenly Father who sent His Son to reconcile you, as dirty, guilty, stained, and defiant rebels to Himself. Psalm 51 presses this prayer to be your own as you consider your sin, sorrow, repentance, reconciliation, and worship.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. (Isaiah 57:15) *1/ What is meant by contrite and humble. 2/ The blessings of being such. 3/ The way the Lord revives the soul.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon centers on the profound truth that God, who dwells in eternity and holiness, chooses to dwell with those who are contrite and humble, reviving their spirits and hearts in a work of grace. It emphasizes that true contrition involves deep sorrow for sin and a genuine humility that acknowledges one's dependence on God, not self-righteousness, and that this state is not self-achieved but divinely wrought through conviction and providence. The passage reveals God's compassionate limitation in His dealings—He does not contend forever or crush His people, but uses trials to humble and prepare them for His presence and renewal. The ultimate blessing is God's intimate dwelling with the humble, not merely as a visitor but as a life-giving presence, fulfilled through Christ's atonement, resurrection, and the indwelling Spirit, which revives the deadened soul and offers hope beyond death. This divine revival is both a present reality and a future promise, grounding the believer's confidence in God's faithfulness and the eternal life secured in Christ.

Mercy for Contrite Sinners - Ken Rucker - 8-24-2025 by NewBranch

Psalm 51

In this sermon, Karl Ihfe addresses sin as the most destructive force humanity has ever faced, using David's moral failure with Bathsheba as a powerful case study. Ihfe identifies four crucial crossroads in David's journey: the spiritual drift that led him to remain in Jerusalem "at the time when Kings go off to war" (2 Samuel 11:1), his decision to ignore spiritual warning lights when informed Bathsheba was married, his refusal to repent when consequences began appearing, and finally facing God's judgment through Nathan the prophet. The sermon emphasizes how sin spreads like a disease when left unchecked, leading David from adultery to murder and deception. Yet when confronted with the powerful words "You are the man," David's heart softened and he confessed, "I have sinned against the Lord" (2 Samuel 12:13). Ihfe concludes by reminding the congregation that while sin has consequences, God's grace offers hope for transformation—embodying the church's motto that "everybody is welcome, nobody is perfect, but anything is possible" through Christ.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 13, 2025 is: contrite • kun-TRYTE • adjective Contrite is a formal adjective used to describe someone who feels regret for their bad behavior, or something, such as an apology, that shows such regret. // Although the mayor appeared contrite about the most recent scandal plaguing city hall, many constituents remained unpersuaded. See the entry > Examples: “At the restaurant, late into the meal, ‘Honey, Honey,' from the ‘Mamma Mia' soundtrack began to play, with [Amanda] Seyfried's 22-year-old voice issuing through the restaurant's speakers. The waitress came over, contrite. The song was just part of the usual play list. ‘Listen, I love having a stake in pop culture,' Seyfried reassured her. ‘It's really nice.'” — Alexis Soloski, The New York Times, 11 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Props to Elton John: sorry really does seem to be the hardest word. But saying it (in something other than a nonapology, of course) is an important part of being contrite—that is, feeling or showing sorrow and remorse for one's bad behavior. Contrite traces back to the Latin verb conterere, meaning “to pound to pieces,” “to crush, “to wear out or down,” or “to exhaust mentally or physically.” In Medieval Latin—the Latin used in Medieval times especially for religious or literary purposes—conterere came to mean “to crush in spirit with a sense of one's sin,” or “to render contrite.” Anglo-French speakers borrowed a form of the verb conterere and made it the adjective contrit, which was in turn adopted into English in the 1300s.

5.7.25 - Contrite Heart - Lorenzo Romero III by JLRV | Jesucristo La Roca Viva

In this episode Justin emphasizes the critical importance of repentance in the Christian faith, arguing that forgiveness from God is contingent upon genuine confession and turning away from sin. He explains that the gospel centers on Jesus Christ serving as a substitute for humanity's sins, offering forgiveness and reconciliation with God, but only if individuals humbly repent and "plead the blood" of Jesus. Justin stresses that unconfessed sin remains "on record" and that true repentance involves a heartfelt change, not just lip service, as God does not forgive without it. He warns against the false teaching that repentance is unnecessary, suggesting it gives people a misleading sense of security, and highlights that while forgiveness wipes the spiritual slate clean, natural consequences of sin may persist. Throughout, he encourages listeners to maintain a "current" relationship with God through confession and to hold others accountable for genuine repentance.

Everyone asks at some time, if God created everything who created God? These are fundamental questions that often get asked by children when they are young. Dr. Ross explains using the space time continuum to demonstrate that God, the triune Creator, must transcend the created universe.
