Podcasts about Psalm 51

Psalm 51 is not the cry of a casual seeker but the confession of a broken king. Written after Nathan the prophet confronted David over his sin with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12), this psalm is a masterpiece of repentance. Verse 10 forms the heartbeat of the entire passage. It is not merely a re

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨What happens when someone who seemingly has it all—power, wealth, divine favor—falls into devastating sin? King David's story might be thousands of years old, but his prayer of repentance in Psalm 51 offers timeless wisdom for anyone who has ever strayed from their path.This episode delves into the heart of Psalm 51 "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." David wasn't asking for minor improvements but total transformation. He recognized that only God could make something entirely new from his broken life.David's prayer reminds us that no matter how far we've fallen, restoration is possible. The guilt and shame that come with sin act as wrecking balls in our lives, but forgiveness brings joy that the world simply cannot provide.Whether you're facing your own moral failures or simply need reassurance that grace exists even in your darkest moments, this episode offers hope through ancient words that still resonate today. The same mercy that transformed David's life is available to each of us—because failure is never final with God.Support the showFollow on Instagram & Facebook Support this PodcastVisit the WebsiteContact Dez for Coaching to Live your Best Life… EVER!

Psalm 51 by Pastor Josh Robinson.Recorded November 30, 2025.

Kendrick Diaz discusses Psalm 51:3-4—“For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight—that You may be found just when You speak, and blameless when You judge.”

In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned. Essential listening for anyone who wonders, “How can I ever be right with a holy God?”Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Psalm 51 presents a profound portrait of genuine repentance, rooted in a deep awareness of sin against a holy God, exemplified by David's heartfelt contrition after his fall with Bathsheba. The psalm reveals the essential elements of true repentance: a broken and contrite heart, a personal acknowledgment of guilt before God, a faith-filled appreciation of divine mercy grounded in God's character and redemptive provision, and a resulting life of renewed devotion, public worship, and evangelistic purpose. It serves as both a powerful example for those seeking repentance, a source of hope for those fallen into ruin, and a sobering warning to those tempted to rebel, illustrating the lasting consequences of sin—including broken fellowship, spiritual agony, and the fear of abandonment—while affirming the boundless grace available through Christ. Ultimately, the psalm points to the gospel's transformative power, where even the deepest sin can be cleansed by God's mercy, leading to restored joy, renewed spirit, and a life dedicated to praising God.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation

Psalm 51 // Kevin Shoemaker

In this honest and weighty message kicking off the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl walks through the Beatitudes—the nine “blessed are” statements that reveal the heart attitudes Jesus demands of every true disciple. From spiritual poverty and mourning over sin to meekness, insatiable hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and even rejoicing in persecution, these aren't optional extras; they're the non-negotiable “be-attitudes” that must mark every citizen of God's kingdom.When these attitudes shape us, we naturally become the salt of the earth and the light of the world—distinct from culture, preserving what is decaying, and shining so brightly that others see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. A convicting reminder that following Jesus was never meant to look like the world around us.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Given that we worship what we love and become what we worship, we want to think about the sanctuaries that we are constructing in our lives. Our first sanctuary is our heart. Out of the heart we move to the outward spaces of our lives that occupy most of time and energy, household and work. The goal is to create intentional practices that support the creation and maintenance of a life of sanctuary. God's Word can guide us in building healthy, sacred spaces.

November 2, 2025. Pastor Bobby Pringle

Sin brings us low. It's something not to be messed with. The joy of sin is that it doesn't have to control us, and it can be forgiven by our Savior, Jesus Christ. IF you feel like you are in a spot that is a spot you cannot get out of. Think again. Psalm 51 has amazing answers for you.

This week we read about the anointing of young David in I Samuel 16:1-13, and a few verses from Psalm 51, set much later in his career, at a time when he clearly was not living up to God's expectations , and he knew it and grieved it.  We wondered what kind of heart God was looking for when he chose young David to be king? A pure one? A steady one? And what does it mean for us to read the story of David's anointment as an innocent boy, when he is all potential -  alongside a psalm about his lowest of lows? How does the one inform the other?

Sin is real and we cannot pretend otherwise. We need to confess our sins to God and repent.

 In this closing episode of our Repentant Lament series, we explore the final verses of Psalm 51, where David's prayer shifts from personal forgiveness to the restoration of God's people. Sin is never just private—it weakens families, churches, and even nations. But repentance not only cleanses the heart, it rebuilds the walls of community and strengthens God's people for worship that truly delights Him. Together, we'll trace the psalm's flow from guilt to grace, from brokenness to renewal, and from lament to worship, finding its ultimate fulfillment in Christ, the true Temple and Cornerstone. Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!

Join hosts Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Craig Koester as they dive deep into one of the most compelling stories from the Hebrew Bible - the call and anointing of David from 1 Samuel 16:1-13, paired with the powerful verses from Psalm 51 about creating a clean heart. In this episode, we explore: * Why Samuel's mission to anoint David was an act of treason * The dramatic irony of Samuel falling into the same trap he's warned against - judging by appearances * The ancient symbolism of shepherds as kings throughout the Near East * How God's value system clashes with human expectations of leadership * The Hebrew understanding of "heart" as the seat of wisdom and discernment, not just emotion * Why the youngest son pattern appears throughout Scripture * How David's capacity for repentance becomes more important than his perfection This podcast explores the Narrative Lectionary, offering fresh insights into familiar Bible stories and their relevance for today's world. Whether you're a pastor preparing for Sunday, a student of Scripture, or someone seeking deeper understanding of these ancient texts, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership, calling, and God's surprising choices.

What if the very thing you've been running from, your guilt, your failure, your brokenness, was the one thing God actually wanted you to bring Him? Forgiven people become worshipers and witnesses. In this episode, we explore how David moves from guilt to praise in Psalm 51:13–17. Learn how God uses our brokenness not to shame us but to point others toward His grace.Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!

In a world full of division, anger, and grief, how do we respond as followers of Christ? In this episode, we reflect on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk not to dwell on politics, but to examine our own hearts and the sin that dulls our awareness of God's presence. Using Psalm 51:7–12 as our guide, we explore David's model of repentant lament—confessing without excuses, seeking cleansing we cannot achieve on our own, and asking God to renew our hearts and spirits. This episode is a call to turn inward, lay down bitterness, pride, and compromise, and experience the joy, intimacy, and restoration only found in Christ.Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!

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.
