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.
Sermon preached at East Frankfort Baptist Church on October 19, 2025 during morning worship.
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.

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.
As heavy as the story that produces this penitential psalm of David is, there is a beautiful lesson of true freedom in Christ that comes through faithful confession. Without God graciously revealing David's sin by Nathan, he would have remained trapped in condemnation. Instead, David was awakened to his sin and thereby freed to confess his sin and receive the joy of a gospel centered life. David is now an example to the world on how we too can be freed from our sins.
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!

God's salvation sounds like joy because it has the power not just to cover or cleanse our sins but to create new hearts in us, because it is big enough to deliver us from personal sin and societal injustice, and because it spreads from our personal testimonies throughout our communities.

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!

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Psalm 51 (David's song of lament and repentance) and Luke 15, in which Jesus tells parables about a lost sheep and a lost coin. Our God, in Christ, does everything needed to save us: not resting until we are found and brought home.

Send us a textWhen we hear the word “repentance,” many of us think of shame, guilt, or fear. But as we explored King David's story in Psalm 51, we discovered something much different—repentance as an invitation into God's love. David's raw prayer after his failure with Bathsheba isn't self-loathing, but a cry for God's mercy and renewal. When he asks God to “create a clean heart,” he's asking for something brand new, the same creative power we see in Genesis. That shows us repentance isn't about behavior modification—it's about God making us new.We also looked at the word metánoia, which means a change of mind, and how Romans 2:4 reminds us that it's God's kindness that leads us to repentance. This truth frees us from fear and draws us into joy, intimacy, and restoration. Whether it's struggles with food, relationships, or shame, repentance is not a detour but the way back to life. We invite you to walk this journey with us, practicing breath prayer, reflection, and learning to see repentance as God's loving call home.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

In this episode, we begin our journey through Psalm 51 with David's opening cry: “Have mercy on me, O God.” After being confronted with his sin, David doesn't excuse or justify himself; he throws himself on the mercy of God.

As disciples, we are called not to run from Him in shame, but toward Him in honesty, where mercy meets us, cleanses us, and makes us new.Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!

Aug. 30 & 31, 2025 - A Broken Prayer: The Posture of a Guilty HeartPastor Josh SorensonPsalm 51 | Study #20250831GUEST
In Psalm 51 we learn that forgiveness is God's work for and in sinners and forgiveness is essential for the people of God.
This message is Part 5 of our Walking in Command series at Mosaic Church. Pastor Anthony Daley teaches on the importance of accountability in the Christian walk — why you can't do faith alone and why every believer needs a battle buddy. Drawing from John 14:15, Matthew 7:1–5, 2 Samuel 12, Psalm 51, and 1 Corinthians 5, this sermon explores what Jesus meant by “judge not,” how to live out God's commands together, and how to walk in grace and truth within community.
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.
