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!

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

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.

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?

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.

August 3, 2025 sermon from Providence Reformed Church Las Vegas by pastor Travis Peterson

Thank you so much for your prayers the last couple days during ourtravels to Colorado. God gave us traveling mercies. We did experience somedifficulty catching our flight from Dulles to Roanoke, yet the Lord provided abus for us, which was a long ride with the rain and terrible conditions onInterstate 81. But we made it back to Salem safely last night, and our dearfriends Johnny and Linda King picked us up and took care of us. On top of it,God gave us a wonderful divine appointment in His providence, and that'sanother story for another time. God is so good, and we thank you for yourprayers.  Today, I feel led,because it is the second day of August, to look at Psalm 32, which is the firstof the five Psalms readings for today. I encourage you to read the Psalms withus or read them yourself. Five Psalms a day will get you through the Book ofPsalms every month. Oh, how we need to be reminded of God's mercy, because inthe Old Testament especially, we read so much about the wrath of God, thepunishment of God, and the chastisement of God upon His people and the nations.Therefore, it's great to have a book right in the middle of the Old Testament,so to speak, that reminds us of God's wonderful mercy. Yesterday, we discussedPsalm 1, and found blessed is the man who walks with God and meditates in HisWord. We find not only are we blessed that way, but we're blessed when our sinsare forgiven. That's how Psalm 32 starts. David is calling out to God toforgive him for his sin. His sin was significant, as he committed adultery andthen murder. He's crying out to God for forgiveness, confessing not only hissin but the iniquity of his sin—the motive behind it, being selfish,self-centered, and letting pride creep into his life, thinking he could make iton his own without God. That's what always leads us to drift away from God. Remember, we said blessed is the man who walks with the Lord, who is in God'sWord and becomes like a tree planted by the rivers of water in Psalm 1. But nowin Psalm 32, blessed is the person whose sin is forgiven. To have our sinsforgiven, there must be confession. Verses 2-4 go on to say, “Blessed is theman in whom the Lord counts no iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit.For when I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the daylong. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me. My strength was dried upas by the heat of summer.” David tried to hide his sin, covering it up, andhe felt the oppression of God upon him, the hand of God pushing him down. Hefelt the heaviness, guilt, and burden of that sin. Then, in verse 5, Davidsays, “I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity. Isaid, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,' and You forgave theiniquity of my sin.” Not only the sin David committed, because that wasn'tthe real problem. The real problem was the motive, the iniquity, thereason—what took place in his heart that led to that sin. He confessed that.  David says in verse 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.” In otherwords, when times of trouble come, they won't overwhelm you if you haveconfessed your sins.  Yes, blessed is the manwho meditates in God's Word, who doesn't walk or run around with the wrongpeople, as in Psalm 1. But now, blessed is the man whose sin is covered. Godhas taken care of it through the blood of Jesus Christ. There's no greaterfeeling, no greater emotion, no greater thing that can happen to you and methan to know our sins are covered. That they are forgiven. God has removed themfrom us. Why? Because He placed them on Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago, and Hepaid the price for those sins so that when we confess our sins, we can be setfree.  Today, are you experiencingand enjoying the blessing of your sins being forgiven?
