In this sermon, we walk through Psalm 51 and David’s desperate prayer after his sin with Bathsheba, seeing the mercy of God, the seriousness of repentance, and the joy of salvation that only God can restore. From David’s cry, “Create in me a clean heart” (Psalm 51:10), we are invited to move beyond excuses and return to God with honesty, humility, and expectation.
This message explores how salvation is not only a past moment, but God’s ongoing work in us by the Holy Spirit—and the future hope that He will make all things new.
