Main Text: Psalm 51:1–19 (ESV) To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. 1Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. 7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. 13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. 18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem; 19 then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.Preaching Point: When confronted with the reality of your sin, we must respond to God in penitent faith, seeking his forgiveness and restoration.Teaching Points:Request God's Mercy (vv.1-2)Repent of Your Sin (vv.3-6)Ask for Inward Restoration (vv.7-12)Respond with Outward Profession (vv.13-17)Rebuild Communal Fractures (vv.18-19)Application Questions:Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week's sermon. Why did it stand out to you? Read Psalm 51:1-2 and Luke 18:9–14. When you sin, how should you approach God? How does this differ from the ways our culture typically responds to sin and guilt?Read Psalm 51:3–6 and 2 Corinthians 7:9–10. What do these passages teach about the anatomy of genuine repentance? What does David recognize about his sin, himself, and God in Psalm 51:3-6?Read Psalm 51:7–12 and Ezekiel 36:25–27. What do these passages teach about the kind of cleansing and restoration you need from God? Read Psalm 51:13–17 and 2 Corinthians 5:17–20. How should experiencing God's mercy and forgiveness change the way you speak about him and serve him?What is one way you can publicly testify to God's mercy and grace toward you this week?Read Psalm 51:18-19 and Matthew 5:23–24. Why should genuine repentance include concern for how your sin affects others and the people of God? What responsibility do you have to pursue reconciliation when your sin has damaged relationships?Compare a healthy church that works to rebuild relationships damaged by sin with an unhealthy church that neglects that responsibility. What do these two churches look like?

Preaching Point: When confronted with the reality of your sin, we must respond to God in penitent faith, seeking his forgiveness and restoration.Text: Psalm 51 (ESV)To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice.9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem;19 then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.
Matthew 13: 47-51, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net that was thrown into the water and caught fish of every kind. When the net was full, they dragged it up onto the shore, sat down, and sorted the good fish into crates, but threw the bad ones away. that is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous, throwing the wicked into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Do you understand all these things?” So, Jesus is saying in the end there will only be 2 categories of people and they will be separated out by the angels. There will be the wicked and the righteous. The wicked’s fate is the fiery furnace of misery. The righteous will be kept and carried off. We know from earlier parables in this chapter that the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. So, it’s clear who we don’t want to be – we don’t want to be the wicked. And it’s clear who we do want to be – we want to be the righteous. Now, how can we be sure because this is eternity we’re talking about. There will be no undoing this. After sharing this story, Jesus says, “Do you understand all these things?” No – I honestly don’t at this point, Jesus, help me understand. Explain this to us. He wants us to understand this, so let’s dig deeper here for understanding. When I’m trying to understand scripture, I do a few things: 1. I look at different translations for clearer wording. 2. I look up the original Greek or Hebrew words and their definitions. 3. I read commentary to get additional understanding. Looking at other translations of this parable, they all say it in the same words – there are the good and the bad – the righteous and the wicked, and in the end they are getting separated. Until then, they will be in the same waters living together. God doesn’t separate us now, but the day will come when he does. Now, let’s look at the original text. These spoken words of Jesus were recorded by the disciple Matthew after he personally heard them. The language was Greek. In Greek, the two groups people will be separated into are the ponēros and the dikaious. The ponēros are the wicked ones. The word means evil, bad, harmful, morally corrupt. It describes one who is not only bad in character, but produces bad effects. This isn’t the person who messes up in their life and fails – this is the person who is truly bad. This isn’t about just doing bad things – this is about BEING bad. It’s a moral corruption from within. It’s a genuinely rotten, poisonous fruit. Religion has warped this word to make us think we’re going to Hell if we sin. Well, here’s the really bad news about that teaching – WE ALL SIN. Every single one of us. There has only been one without sin and that was Jesus. The rest of us aren’t good enough – but that doesn’t mean we are wicked. This word ponēros is used when Jesus teaches us how to pray in Matthew 6. Verse 13, “deliver us from the evil one.” That’s the ponēros one. Satan. So his people, his followers, his devoted workers are the ones who Jesus tells us are wicked. They are the ones who will meet the fate of the fiery furnace. These are NOT the ones who have made wrong choices and wandered off the path occasionally. These are the ones who are inherently evil. —— Then there are the dikaious. Here’s what that word means – those who are in right standing with God. Here’s what that word doesn’t necessarily mean – a good person. We try to make this all about us, about our acts, our deeds, and our track record. And if we do, we always fall short. We simply are not righteous. No matter how good you are, it hasn’t made you right with God. There is one thing and one thing only that has made you right with God – that’s the man on the middle cross. Jesus gives us right standing with a Holy and perfect God. JUST JESUS. 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be MADE RIGHT WITH GOD through Christ.” This is how we are the diakious – the righteous – the ones who will get to shine bright in the Kingdom of God forever! Jesus did that for us. Romans 5:17, “God’s wonderful grace and his GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.” Righteousness is a gift of God’s grace. No, we don’t deserve it, but he gives it to us anyway. You can stop thinking you have to make yourself good enough and receive the grace that completely covers you. Romans 3:22, “We are made RIGHT WITH GOD by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. yet God, in his grace, freely makes US RIGHT in his sight. People are made RIGHT WITH GOD when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.” It just couldn’t be any clearer than that. We are made right with God through one thing and one thing alone – BELIEVING IN JESUS! And no matter who you are, no matter what you’ve done, no matter where you’ve come from or how wrong you’ve been, this is true for YOU. YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS THROUGH JESUS. So my friend, your destiny is sealed. If you believe in Jesus, you are in the diakious, the righteous, the ones in right standing with God. And your future is secure in Jesus – you get to shine in God’s Kingdom forever! So let’s go back to Jesus’ question: “Do you understand all these things?” I think I finally understand what He’s trying to show us. One day, the net is going to come ashore. One day, there will be a separation. One day, this life will be over, and eternity will begin. And on that day, the question won’t be, “Were you perfect?” Because none of us were. It won’t be, “Did you make good choices every day?” Because none of us did. It won’t even be, “Were you good enough?” Because none of us are. The question is: What did you do with Jesus? Because there are only two categories in the end: the wicked and the righteous. And here’s the incredible news for every person who has put their faith in Jesus: Jesus makes you righteous. Not your performance. Not your religious résumé. Not how many Bible verses you know. Not how many times you’ve gotten it right. Jesus. The man on the middle cross took what belonged to you so that you could receive what belonged to Him. He took your sin. He gave you His righteousness. He took your shame. He gave you His grace. He took your condemnation. He gave you right standing with God. So stop trying to earn what Jesus already died to give you. You don’t have to spend the rest of your life wondering, “Am I good enough?” You aren’t. Jesus is. And that’s the whole point. The Gospel isn’t that you finally became good enough for God. The Gospel is that Jesus was good enough for you. So when the net comes ashore, I don’t want to be standing there hoping my good outweighs my bad. I want to be standing there covered by Jesus. I want to be found in Christ. I want His righteousness to be my righteousness. And then—because I have received His life—I want that life to change the way I live here and now. Because this isn’t just about where we go when we die. It’s about who we become while we’re alive. If Jesus has truly gotten into your life, He should eventually begin getting into everything. Your thoughts. Your words. Your relationships. Your decisions. Your money. Your marriage. Your work. Your habits. Your reactions. Your dreams. Your disappointments. Everything. He becomes the center. And when Jesus becomes the center, He begins changing what your life produces. So don’t spend your life trying to prove you’re good enough. Receive the righteousness Jesus freely gives you. And then spend the rest of your life letting Him transform you from the inside out. Because someday the net will come ashore. And when that day comes, I want to hear Jesus say: “You are Mine.” And I want to shine like the sun in my Father’s Kingdom. Not because I was good enough. Because Jesus was.

The Bible is clear that all fall short of God's perfect standard, so what are you trusting in to be made right? In his message, "Lessons from Philippians: How to Be Made Right with God," Pastor Bayless explains that righteousness comes when faith in Jesus Christ alone makes us right with God. You'll discover how it's not religion, but relationship—an intimate, personal knowledge of Christ—that makes you right with Him. Learn to lay aside self-reliance and draw closer to Christ, where true life is found, in this encouraging message!
Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 5:18 In this episode, discover the change that took place the moment you trusted Christ. Through Jesus, you are no longer separated from God by your sin. You have been reconciled to Him. You have moved from being His enemy to being His friend. That's far more than forgiveness. It's a new relationship built on His grace and righteousness. We'll explore the promise of 2 Corinthians 5:18 and what reconciliation really means. You'll see how Christ took your sin upon Himself and gave you His righteousness in return. But God's work doesn't stop there. He also entrusts every believer with the ministry of reconciliation, inviting us to help others become friends of God through the gospel. If you've ever struggled to see yourself as someone God delights in or wondered what your purpose is as a believer, this episode will encourage your heart, strengthen your faith, and leave you with a clearer sense of who you are in Christ.

June 08 2026 Monday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 30 Right With God #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word. That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT 'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.' Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Youar roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.' Matthew 11:28 Find Rest In Jesus Christ Your Lord and Savior… Mark 10:29-30 100 Fold Return… Psalm 37:4 God will give you the desires of your heart… The Galations, having launched their Christian experience by faith, seem content to leave their voyage of faith and chart a new course based on works—a course Paul finds disturbing. His letter to the Galations is a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and a defense of the gospel of faith. Paul begins by setting forth his credentials as an apostle with a message from God: blessing comes from God on the basis of faith, not law. The law declares men guilty and imprisons them; faith sets men free to enjoy liberty in Christ. But liberty is not license. Freedom in Christ means freedom to produce the fruits of righteousness through a Spirit-led lifesty 1 Corinthians 6:11 Romans 10:9-10 Salvation… 1 John 1:9 Confess your sins God Will Cleanse You… Romans 13:8 Live in God's Love… Romans 8:16-17 Heirs of God and Joint Heirs with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Revelation 1:6 We are kings and priest in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Romans 10:13 Call On The Name Of Jesus And Make Him Lord today… The Biblical Definition Of Grace Is God's Unmerited Favor… Matthew 18:19-20 I will agree with you about your prayer request… Acts 10:34 God is not a respecter of persons.

Through faith, we enjoy the credit of Christ's righteousness to our account. That is the basis of our standing before God.
Abraham and the patriarchs in the Bible were saved in the same way that we are, by faith in the Lord Jesus. Abraham believed God, and it was counted as righteousness.

Send us Fan MailIn this verse-by-verse Bible study of Job 9:1–19, Reasoning Through the Bible follows Job as he answers Bildad and asks one of the most important questions in all of Scripture: how can a person be right with God? This session explores why Bildad's works-based view of suffering fails, why righteousness has always been by faith, and why no human being can successfully dispute with God. This study also highlights Job's description of God's immense power over creation, including the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the constellations. But it also shows how suffering has clouded Job's perspective, causing him to see God's power almost entirely through the lens of pain, judgment, and loss. The passage speaks directly to those who are hurting and wondering whether pain can distort how they see God and the world. A major theme in this episode is the need for a mediator. Job feels like a man standing in a courtroom with no advocate, no defense, and no way to answer the Judge. That tension points forward to the New Testament hope found in Jesus Christ, the better mediator and high priest. This session also offers practical encouragement for anyone feeling overwhelmed by trouble after trouble and not able to catch their breath. Topics in this episode include: Job 9:1–19 explained how a person is right with God righteousness by faith in the Old and New Testaments why disputing with God fails Job's view of God's power suffering and distorted perspective the need for a mediator God's control over creation asking God for wisdom and peace Reasoning Through the Bible is a verse-by-verse Bible teaching ministry committed to careful exposition, biblical context, and faithful application.Support the showThank you for listening!!

This message considers three revealing scenes: a man awakened to his sinfulness in the presence of Christ, a son brought to repentance and welcomed home by a gracious father, and another who remained outwardly near yet inwardly unchanged. Together they press a vital question—are we truly right with God? Not by outward form or effort, but through genuine repentance and faith. The good news is that full cleansing is found through Jesus Christ, who alone can bring us into a right relationship with God. The post Are you right with God? appeared first on Preachers Corner.
Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 50—especially explaining how God makes sinners right with Himself. Q50. What is justification? It is God's forgiving sinners, and treating them as if they had never sinned. Justification is God's act of declaring sinners righteous solely by His grace, through faith in Christ, not by any works of the law. It arises from the recognition that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, making a divine payment necessary for the offense against His infinite worth. Christ, as the propitiation through His blood, fully bore God's wrath and satisfied divine justice, enabling God to forgive sins and treat believers not merely as if they had never sinned, but according to the perfect righteousness of Christ. Even in final glorification, believers remain justified not by their own righteousness, but solely by Christ's, Who is their own by faith.
This week, Pastor Rob Curington looks at the “Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector” to show how Jesus warns against relying on self-righteousness.
There is nothing quite like the ache of a relationship that has grown distant — that quiet, unsettled feeling in your spirit that something isn't right between you and God. It can happen gradually, almost without noticing. An unconfessed sin, a bitterness we've held onto, a habit that has slowly taken the place where He used to be. And yet, for all the ways we can drift, the distance between us and God is never as far as it feels. He is always ready to hear from us. We are only ever a prayer away. 1 John 1:9 holds one of the most tender promises in all of Scripture: if we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Not some of it. All of it. Jesus is our Advocate — and every time we come before the Father with a repentant heart, He reminds Heaven that our debt has already been paid in full. We don't have to carry the weight of what we've done or what we've left undone. We don't have to remain in the condition we're in. Today is an invitation to come back — to lay it all down, to start fresh, and to trust in the mercy of a God who is not only willing to forgive, but eager to restore the fellowship you once shared with Him. Don't wait. Make things right with God today. Today's Bible Verse "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." — 1 John 1:9 Ponder Today Drifting from God rarely happens all at once — unforgiveness, bitterness, sin, and distraction can each quietly erode our fellowship with Him if left unaddressed. Confession is not about earning our way back to God — it is about returning to a Father who has been waiting for us, ready to forgive and restore the moment we turn to Him. Jesus is our Advocate before the Father — every time we confess and repent, He reminds Heaven that our debt has been paid in full through His sacrifice on the cross. A heart that remains soft and pliable before God is one of the greatest gifts we can cultivate — never let it harden to the point where repentance feels unnecessary. We don't know when we will take our last breath — living with an attitude of daily prayer and repentance keeps us in right standing with God and ready for eternity. Today's Prayer Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Son Jesus, who died on the cross for my sins and stands as my Advocate before You. I am so grateful that I can come to You when I fall short and cast every burden at Your feet. Lord, there are things in my life that have been hindering my relationship with You. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins, faults, and habits — cleanse me and make me white as snow. I commit myself afresh to Your will for my life, and I receive Your forgiveness with a grateful heart. In Jesus' name, Amen. Enjoy Today's Prayer?

There are two final parts to this section in Acts 8 that Tony wants us to think about - both answer the most important question that anyone can ask, how can man be right with God?
The post 2026 4 12 Right with God – Romans 3:21-26 appeared first on Galilee - Gorham, ME.
Is Resurrection Sunday just a tradition… or is it the turning point of eternity? In Epistle to the Hebrews 12:2 we are told to “Look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.” In a culture that says “all paths lead to heaven”, Jesus boldly declares in Gospel of John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” This message confronts the biggest question of humanity: How do I become right with God? Not religion. Not good works. Not pluralism. But Jesus + Nothing. Will you look to Jesus?

You can look fine on the outside… but be falling apart on the inside.In Hebrews 10, we discover why religion can't truly cleanse us—and how Jesus offers real, lasting forgiveness and transformation from the inside out.
You've been told your whole life that God's involvement in your life depends on how good of a Christian you've been. That's not the New Covenant. That's the Old Covenant. And you don't live there anymore. Travis teaches on why performance-based thinking is the actual thing keeping you off your God-given path, not your lack of money, credentials, or talent. When you understand that you are flawless in His eyes right now, you'll stop waiting and start moving. This one will set you free. Key scriptures: Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:10, Romans 5:1-2, Galatians 3:13-14, Hebrews 1:14, 2 Corinthians 5:21

Why do we always hear "get right with God" if we are righteous? How do I forgive someone when I'm so angry at them all the time? I don't want to be a fake! Exodus 20 says not to have any graven images, but what about the crosses we wear?
What should we experience when we believe we are right with God? What should we feel? After all, this is our reality now, is it not?In this Gospel Hour teaching, Peter confronts unbelief that we as Christians can have in our position of being right with God. Did Jesus really pay for this? Yes!

The Waiting Well - Infertility, Faith-based Encouragement, Trying to Conceive, Fertility
If you're praying, obeying God, practicing spiritual disciplines—and still not pregnant—this episode speaks directly to the frustration and confusion you're carrying. We'll unpack why faithfulness doesn't guarantee outcomes, what infertility reveals about our hearts, and how to keep trusting God when the waiting feels unfair.
Through faith, we enjoy the credit of Christ's righteousness to our account. That is the basis of our standing before God.
Do you know what words to use to express yourself? Just like Paul, fill your mouth with God's WORD. Join Kenneth Copeland and Professor Greg Stephens on Believer's Voice of Victory as they discuss how it is equally important to read the words of the Bible and to know Jesus, the person of The WORD. Becoming part of God's family is easy. Jesus did the hard part for your salvation; the only thing He didn't do was pray your prayer. The moment you asked Jesus into your life, you were not only counted righteous; Jesus made you right with God.
