Podcasts about Psalm 51

Join Profs. Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson for another insightful episode of Sermon Brainwave as they dive deep into the lectionary texts for the 14th Sunday after Pentecost (September 14, 2025). In this episode, the hosts explore the powerful contrast between grumbling and joy found in Luke 15:1-10, where Jesus tells the parables of the lost sheep and lost coin. They discuss how these stories reveal God's character as one who celebrates finding the lost, and examine why the Pharisees and scribes struggled with Jesus's radical inclusivity at the table. The conversation also covers Exodus 32:7-14, exploring the golden calf incident as a paradigmatic story of idolatry and God's faithfulness to the covenant despite human unfaithfulness. They touch on the challenging passage from Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28, examining themes of judgment and restoration. The hosts provide practical preaching insights on Psalm 51:1-10 as a confession text and discuss 1 Timothy 1:12-17, highlighting how Paul's story serves as a tableau of God's mercy and transformation.

This chapter highlights David's prayer of genuine repentance.

What made David a man after God's own heart? It wasn't his sinlessness, but his brokenness over his sin. In Psalm 51, we see the raw and honest confession of a man who understands the weight of his guilt and the mercy of his God. Today, we'll explore three things that happen when we bring our sin before a holy God. In doing so, we'll learn what it truly means to be still in the way.Welcome to Antioch Georgetown!

Psalm 51; Charles Johnson, Senior Pastor at RMC; the 12th and final sermon in the series, "Summer Psalms 2025."

When we are confronted with our sin, shame can drive us to hide—but God invites us to come to Him for mercy. In Psalm 51:1–2, David cries out for God's cleansing and forgiveness, trusting in His steadfast love. Guest preacher Dr. Dan Trippie reminds us that no sin is beyond the reach of God's grace, and in Christ, we can be washed clean and restored.

Jeff Crispin is preaching from the Book of Psalms

Why is confession so important? What would you say to someone who thinks they're out of God's reach? Join our pastors as we discuss Psalm 51!

Join us as we look at the steps needed for repentance and confession.

This edition of Summer Mixtape is a special message about overcoming some of life's biggest mistakes by Johnathon Brooks. 

The context for Psalm 51 is David's sin of adultery, murder, covering over his sin, and a hardness of heart towards repentance. It took a visit from the prophet Nathan with storied words to prick David's heart - and break it - over all that he had done. It might be easy to look upon David and think; how could he be so dull to the evil in his heart? It seems so obvious to us. So true, often, are the sins we have normalized within our culture. Would that we could have a friend who loves us enough to point it out, and hearts humble enough to receive the correction!This psalm illuminates the grandeur of God's mercy, His love that does not fail, and His compassion towards us in our wretched state. May the words of this psalm restore to us the joy of His salvation! May we be open to recognizing our sin, knowing that it is safe to do so because our Father God welcomes our broken and contrite hearts as an offering of faith.Prepare for this week's teaching by meditating on the words of Psalm 51 with 2 Samuel 11-12

Confession is a painful participation in grace - rooted in God's character - that leads to the restoration of individuals and the authenticity of communities.

Pastor Brad dives in Psalm 51 which is David's plea for mercy and forgiveness, as he confesses his sin and seeks God's cleansing, and asks for a renewed spirit and relationship with God.This sermon is from 7/27/25

How merciful is God to forgive an adulterer who has bloodguilt? This message draws from Psalm 51 --- a psalm of confession and prayer for forgiveness. This sermon observes the fulfillment of this psalm in Jesus Christ and why we need to confess our sins to God the Father.

Create in me a clean heart.

Sermon preached on July 27th at Stafford Baptist Church by Kelton Zacharias.

07/27/2025                 Summer Road Trip PlaylistPsalm 51 The Road to RestorationBig Idea: Repentance isn't about guilt; it's about getting back to grace.Culture often cancels what God wants to redeem. What do you do after you fail? Do you run away from God's presence, or do you run toward it?When you fall short and sin as a Christ follower, understand:1. God receives honest confession and cleanses your guilty heart. Numbers 32:23; Galatians 6:7; 1 John 1:9; Titus 3:5 God loves you where you are, but He loves you too much to leave you there.2. God renews and rebuilds my heart in repentance. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Being made new by Jesus isn't about behavior modification, it's about heart transformation. Is your heart's desire for Jesus above everything else?3. God restores my joy and purpose in repentance. If you don't have joy in Jesus, you haven't met Jesus! God wants a broken heart, not a perfect performance. Your failure can become someone else's freedom when God redeems it. Repentance is not a shame walk, it's a faith walk.Questions to consider:What are you tempted to hide instead of confess? Why is it hard to come clean? Do you believe God has actually made you clean, or do you still carry guilt that He's already forgiven?Are you asking God just to remove guilt, or to change you from the inside out?Where has guilt been stealing your joy? What would it look like to live forgiven and free?

The Book of Psalms is a collection of ancient Hebrew song lyrics, often attributed to various authors, including King David. It's a diverse collection expressing a wide range of human emotions and experiences, from joy and praise to sadness and distress, all directed towards God. The Psalms serve as a guide for prayer, worship, and understanding God's character and faithfulness. Dive in with us on this 8-week journey, as we spend the "Summer in the Psalms!"

We're in the 3rd week of our "Summer in the Psalms" series, the big idea this week was all around how living apart from God often feels good in the moment, but it isn't long lasting or true 'goodness'. Join us in our Psalm 73 discussion.

We continue our sermon series looking at Psalm 51 as we look at repentance and the depths of sin. Also, we find new life in Christ which is freely given.Psalm 51:1-17 Sin is the serious defiance of God.Sin firstly is offensive to THE LORD.Sin is extensively devastating. God is so gracious.Exodus 34:6  The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.God's grace is costly to Him, but free to us.Confession leads to restoration.Honestly leads to a re-created heart.Humility leads to re-established joy.

Hello and thank you for joining us here at Gospel Community Church of Fayetteville, GA. This week Elder Kirk McDonald opens our Summer in the Psalms series with Psalm 51. In this Psalm David is repentant of his sin and asks God for forgiveness and restoration, which is the life of a true Christian. God always forgives, always heals, and always blesses a broken, repentant heart.

Psalms of Summer • Week 9 • Psalm 51:1-19

Send me a Text Message!This is my last Psalm Pause. I know, if you read the notes, I said that about the last one, but catch-up from vacation is...well...full. The next episode gets us back to the book of James and a life of prayer. I've been taking a bit of a break after 100 downloads and during my vacation. I've been reposting some Psalms that specifically hit some themes from our current series, "A Life of Prayer." The themes include scripture, prayer, trusting God, and thriving.  In Psalm 51, David wants more than forgiveness.  Way more.  I hope you do too.  The grace of God is not just a forgiving  grace.  The grace of God is a healing grace.  The grace  of God is a joy-restoring grace.  The grace of God is a renewing, sustaining, strengthening grace.  The grace of God brings an unstoppable tsunami of transformation.  And it's available for you!

Send me a Text Message!I've been taking a bit of a break as a reward for 100k downloads and as a pause during my vacation. But during this week+ break, I'm reposting some Psalms that I've chosen, specifically to hit some themes of our current series, "A Life of Prayer." The themes include scripture, prayer, trusting God, and thriving. This is the last Psalms Pause...next episode is James 3.As I look around us, as I look among us, and as I look within me, I would say that a sin-soaked heart is life's greatest problem. We would prefer to highlight other issues. At least in part because when we talk about sin, sooner or later it's going to come back to me. Because here is what I know, my sin-soaked heart is my greatest problem. My own heart is the dominant problem of my life. My heart is my problem. But Psalm 51 gives me hope that God has a solution for my problem!

Today we're talking repentance, dealing with sin, shame, guilt and redemption; using Psalm 51 and this week's message as our guide.

Send me a Text Message!I'm taking a bit of a break as a reward for 100k downloads and as a pause during my vacation. But during this week+ break, I'm reposting some Psalms that I've chosen, specifically to hit some themes of our current series, "A Life of Prayer." The themes include scripture, prayer, trusting God, and thriving. If you are anything like me, reading the book of James brings some stuff to the surface of my heart that brings conviction of my mess. Psalm 51 takes us into the heart of a deeply personal prayer of confession and repentance. It's a prayer prayed by David when he was caught in sin. David's heart was pierced with conviction and burdened by guilt and Psalm 51 is a heartfelt response to  that sin. It's a raw and vulnerable cry for mercy. David doesn't justify or minimize what he did, he simply lays his soul bare before God. 

Summer of Psalms | 7.13.25 | Psalm 51 by Refuge Community Church

Psalm 51:10-17Create in me a pure heart, O God,    and renew a steadfast spirit within me.11 Do not cast me from your presence    or take your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation    and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,    so that sinners will turn back to you.14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,    you who are God my Savior,    and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.15 Open my lips, Lord,    and my mouth will declare your praise.16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;    you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.17 My sacrifice, O God, is[a] a broken spirit;    a broken and contrite heart    you, God, will not despise.

David wrote this Psalm in the aftermath of taking another man wife, then having him killed and then covering it up like nothing happened. You may not see yourself in this story, but self absorption leads to blindness so how could you? 4 simple words helped David to see himself for who he really was. We pray they will help you also to see that "you are the man" in this story of being blinded by sin, and that it would bring you to repentance.
