In this episode, Bobby reflects on six months of pastoring and draws young people into a powerful truth from Psalm 32. God desires to lead His children with the slightest glance, not the painful pressure required for a stubborn horse or mule. Through vivid imagery and practical challenge, you'll hear how walking closely with God creates a life guided by subtle nudges instead of force — and surrounded by His steadfast love. This is a call to live so near to Him that a simple look is enough to move your heart.Topics DiscussedAdjusting from itinerant evangelism to long-term shepherdingThe spiritual impact of “Awake '25” and formative influencesHow God leads through intimate relationship rather than forceThe meaning of “I will guide thee with mine eye” in Psalm 32The danger of spiritual stubbornness and the imagery of the bit and bridleThe process of being “broken” and why surrender requires trustHow God's hesed — His covenant love — surrounds the yielded believerMoving from external pressure to internal responsivenessPractical examples of hearing God's quiet nudges in daily lifeEncouragement for young people to walk closely and obediently with GodKey TakeawaysGod desires to lead you relationally, not mechanically. Intimacy makes His smallest prompt clear.A stubborn heart forces God to use painful circumstances to get your attention; a surrendered heart responds to a whisper.Trust is the foundation of surrender. You will not follow God's subtle leadings unless you believe His way is good.God's lovingkindness surrounds those who walk near Him, protecting and guiding them in every direction.Yielding to God daily positions you to live a life marked by His presence, His prompting, and His overflowing love.Resource LinksDr. Jim Van Gelderen – “0/100” / “God's Theological Continental Divide”(Link placeholder: INSERT 0/100 SERMON URL)Additional sermons by Dr. John Van Gelderen(Link placeholder: INSERT JOHN VAN GELDEREN SERMON COLLECTION URL)Fellowship Baptist Church Podcast(Link placeholder: INSERT FBC PODCAST URL)Current sermon series (Matthew, 1 Corinthians, Proverbs, Galatians)(Link placeholder: INSERT SERIES PAGE OR MAIN SERMON ARCHIVE URL) If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

FPC Knoxville's 11/2/25 Sunday Sermon - “Saint Zacchaeus” - Rev. Mark Curtis (Psalm 32:1-7, 10-11/Luke 19:1-10)
Psalm 32 invites us into one of the most profound spiritual truths we can encounter: the transformative power of confession and forgiveness. This ancient song, penned by David in the aftermath of his devastating moral failure with Bathsheba, doesn't shy away from the crushing weight of unconfessed sin. Instead, it charts a path from spiritual oppression to blessed freedom.
Communion Thought from 2 November
Today’s Bible Verse:"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." — Psalm 32:8 Psalm 32:8 offers a powerful promise of divine direction and care. God doesn’t just command us from a distance—He personally guides, teaches, and counsels us with love. When uncertainty clouds our next step, this verse reminds us that we’re not walking alone. God’s guidance isn’t harsh or impatient. It’s tender, watchful, and rooted in His desire to lead us toward wisdom and peace. All He asks is our willingness to listen and trust His gentle instruction. “Want to listen without ads?

Year C, Proper 26, Twenty-first Sunday After Pentecost
October 19, 2025 - Rev. Alexander S. Brown
Join Profs. Rolf Jacobson, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner as they explore the powerful story of Zacchaeus and discuss the Revised Common Lectionary texts for the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost. In this episode, the hosts dive deep into Luke 19:1-10, wrestling with a critical translation question in verse 8: Is Zacchaeus announcing a conversion, or revealing his existing practices? This interpretive choice completely changes how we understand the story. They explore themes of salvation, seeking the lost, and Jesus's consistent ministry of seeing those others overlook. The conversation also covers: * Isaiah 1:10-18 and prophetic sarcasm about religious hypocrisy * Habakkuk's lament about justice and faithful waiting * Psalm 32 as a penitential prayer often overlooked * 2 Thessalonians and prayers in times of affliction The hosts challenge assumptions about wealth, righteousness, and who belongs in God's kingdom, offering fresh perspectives for preachers preparing for this crucial moment in Luke's gospel as Jesus approaches Jerusalem. * * * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions! Reminder: We have commentaries for the Revised Common Lectionary, the Narrative Lectionary, and Evangelio (Spanish-language Gospel). We're here for you, working preachers!

It's both good and necessary to acknowledge our sin, but nowhere in the Bible are we taught to stay there wallowing in our misery. Instead having been forgiven by God, we who have placed our faith in Christ are to move on in what is now true of us.

Pastor Mike continues our series "In Christ..." where he discusses how Christ's sacrifice offers true freedom.
In this powerful message from the Avenue Community Church, we launch into a brand-new series exploring the life of David through the books of 1 & 2 Samuel and the Psalms he authored. Pastor Tim unpacks Psalm 32, a psalm of repentance, showing us the blessing of forgiveness, the agony of unconfessed sin, and the joy that comes through honest confession before God. With practical stories, biblical insight, and a heart for spiritual renewal, this sermon reminds us that sin is not just an abstract idea—it affects every corner of our lives. Yet, the good news is clear: God lifts, covers, and forgives those who come to Him. Whether you're new to the Psalms or walking closely with Christ, this episode will encourage you to run toward God's mercy and experience the freedom found in confession.
When we hold onto or try to cover up our sins and weakness before God or before others—hiding them, excusing them, or pretending they don't exist—it crushes us. It drains our strength and steals our joy. But Psalm 32 reveals that God has made a way for the guilty to be forgiven, for the burdened to be set free, and for that which is broken to be restored.
“Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.' And you forgave the guilt of my sin.” Psalm 32:5

Psalm 32 isn’t just a poetic reflection—it’s a bold invitation to step into the freedom that comes when we stop hiding and start confessing.

This psalm is both instruction and testimony, reminding us that God doesn’t just tolerate our repentance, He welcomes it, offering covering, healing, and restoration. Join us for this 15 minute of prayer and scripture reading as we walk through Psalm 32 together, learning how confession leads not to condemnation, but to freedom, peace, and a joy that can only come from God’s mercy.

The Way to Enduring Happiness - Psalm 32 - Anthony Pence
Paul tells us; “Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works.” ---Romans 4:4-6Paul is referring to psalm 32 where David recounts the joy - the relief – the true delight he found in having the weight of his sin lifted by the Lord's forgiveness.This is a psalm to think deeply on. A Psalm to pause at each section and ponder the meaning and implications held there. The instructions given in the title; *“A Psalm of David, a Maskil"* is thought to label this psalm as a song or poem of contemplation and instruction. As our understanding of God's forgiveness deepens, so too our understanding of His unfailing love deepens. This creates in us a deeper trust in and greater praise of God, the Forgiving One who is our Savior and King.
This chapter highlights the importance of confession to God.

Title: The Happiest People on EarthSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeText: Psalm 32Overview: In this week's teaching, Pastor Nate Holdridge walks through Psalm 32, painting a vivid picture of the happiest people on earth—those who know their sin, know their Lord, and have experienced the joy of full forgiveness. Through David's testimony, we see the misery of hidden guilt, the turning point of true repentance, and the beauty of God's steadfast love that surrounds the forgiven. This message invites us to drop our self-made coverings, run to the Lord as our hiding place, and enter into the freedom, guidance, and joy that only he can give.
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. 5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. 6 Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. 7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. 11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!1. What's your experience of the silent treatment (both giving and receiving it)?2. Have you ever gone silent with God about something? What have been the results of that? 3. Do you take it as love that God won't let you live in silence and deception? Does that comfort you at all?4. Do you agree that forgiveness is the key to the blessed life? Why might that be hard to accept?5. God's forgiveness is immediate, repetitive, and completely paid for by him. What's hard to believe about that for you?6. Do you want to let God instruct you, teach you and counsel you? How can you do that? What might have to change?
Psalm 32The Joy of ConfessionThesis: The one who is forgiven in Christ, whose sin is atoned for, is truly the happy person.

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | In Psalm 32, David writes about his spiritual journey - from committing a grave sin, to crafting a dark coverup, then to finding forgiveness and freedom and relief. In it, we see the penalty and power of sin, many principles on forgiveness, as well as faint prophesy about the Person who holds the keys of forgiveness and freedom in His nail-scarred, loving hands.
