Psalm 51 · Providence Baptist Church - Sermons

0:00
I remember going to a college and career Sunday school class in my old church and Dean and Judy Stringer
0:07
! who live in Talmo, Georgia, not too far from the Sowers actually today they were teaching that class and
0:14
! and then I actually came that Sunday really broken and really fed up of myself and this was the song that we studied
0:24
and since that day like in 2002 like I have never found another passage in scripture I think that teaches on the true meaning of what
0:35
repentance before God looks like and so just in Psalm 51 today we're just going to walk through some of
0:45
we're not going to look at every little word and phrase but we're going to just walk through it together
0:49
and but we're going to kind of do it in the context of asking questions about about the psalm and
0:57
questions about repentance and uh as many in here know who who I you know confess my sin to and who I
1:05
pray with um and have accountability with uh they know that like I have a lot to learn about repentance
1:13
and um that I don't this isn't something that you just figure out that the Christian life is a life of repentance
1:22
continual repentance before God
1:24
so
1:26
let's just start very basic
1:28
but the word repent
1:31
at least in the Greek means to change one's mind for the better
1:34
it means to turn away from sin
1:37
hating it
1:38
turning to God and resolving by God's strength
1:41
to
1:42
not go back to it to overcome it
1:44
and so it's coming to God
1:47
um
1:47
so
1:48
it's not just a change of actions
1:51
it's a change of the way that somebody thinks about their sin
1:55
it's not like just do good things and you'll be fine
1:58
it's like you it changes your view of what sin is
2:01
before God
2:02
it's an attitude
2:03
shift that only that comes with
2:05
the new birth
2:07
um when the Holy Spirit saves us
2:08
and I don't know no better place to teach us about what repentance is than Psalm
2:12
51
2:14
but before we
2:15
dive into the Psalm
2:17
it's imperative that you know like what
2:19
what uh
2:20
the context is
2:22
um
2:23
most of you are not unfamiliar with the Psalm
2:25
but if you look at the
2:27
the title of it
2:28
like in the
2:29
above the little subtitle up here
2:31
it says to the choir master
2:33
a Psalm of David
2:34
when Nathan the prophet
2:36
went to him
2:37
after he had gone into Bathsheba
2:39
and so
2:40
the context of the story is found in 2 Samuel
2:44
chapter 11 and chapter 12
2:46
and
2:47
David is definitely one of my favorite
2:49
Bible characters
2:51
and I think without
2:52
these two chapters
2:53
we'd be really tempted to think that he was just like this invincible
2:56
guy
2:57
who
2:57
loved God and never messed up
3:00
um
3:00
and
3:01
the hope is not like well David's sinned
3:04
so I guess I can sin now
3:05
it is
3:06
the hope is
3:06
wow
3:07
um a man who had
3:09
such passion and love for God
3:10
fell into this
3:11
depth of sin
3:12
and God still showed him mercy
3:15
it showed that it magnifies the glory of
3:18
the gospel
3:19
so
3:20
this is where
3:22
King David
3:24
commits a terrible act of adultery
3:26
murder
3:27
and scandal
3:28
and
3:30
he first
3:31
he should have been off at war
3:32
fighting with his soldiers
3:33
but he's chilling out
3:35
in Jerusalem
3:36
and he
3:37
his eyes caught by
3:39
Bathsheba
3:39
who's bathing on
3:40
one of the rooftops
3:41
and
3:42
so he commits the act of adultery
3:44
has her
3:44
brought to him
3:46
and she is married to
3:48
a noble warrior
3:49
named Uriah
3:50
the Hittite
3:51
he must have been
3:52
like a
3:52
somewhat of like a mercenary
3:54
or a guy who had fled to Israel
3:55
and
3:56
believed in the true God
3:57
probably
3:59
and
4:00
so
4:01
he commits adultery
4:03
and then
4:04
shortly after
4:05
she comes in and says
4:06
like
4:06
I'm pregnant
4:07
I'm going to have
4:08
a baby
4:09
your baby
4:10
and he
4:11
panics obviously
4:12
his reputation is at stake
4:14
and
4:16
so what he does
4:16
he calls Uriah back
4:17
from the battlefield
4:18
tries to get him
4:20
to sleep with
4:20
his wife
4:22
so it can
4:22
appear as if it was his child
4:24
he refuses
4:25
because
4:27
it would be a dishonorable pleasure
4:29
for him to
4:30
partake of
4:31
while his men are out
4:32
fighting
4:33
and
4:34
something that David
4:34
should have been doing
4:35
and
4:36
so then he tries to get him drunk
4:38
plan B
4:39
he tries to get him drunk
4:40
to sleep with his wife
4:40
but he still doesn't do it
4:42
so then
4:43
he results to the worst
4:45
which is
4:46
to send him back
4:47
to the battlefield
4:48
and have him put
4:48
in the front line
4:50
to where he would be killed
4:51
by the enemy
4:53
and that's what happens
4:54
Uriah is killed
4:56
so then
4:57
David then moves in
4:58
marries Bathsheba
5:00
and he thinks he's
5:02
got everything covered
5:04
I mean
5:05
everybody knows
5:06
how one lie
5:06
has to be covered up
5:07
by another lie
5:08
and another lie
5:09
and another scandal
5:10
and
5:12
David knew
5:13
that this was wrong
5:14
and he still did it
5:15
he cared more about his
5:17
reputation
5:18
than anything
5:19
and then
5:19
God
5:20
God then sends
5:21
a prophet
5:22
Nathan
5:24
to confront David
5:25
and he tells David
5:26
a story
5:27
there was once
5:28
a rich man
5:28
and a poor man
5:29
there is a rich man
5:31
and a poor man
5:31
and the rich man
5:32
had many herds
5:33
many flocks
5:34
and the poor man
5:35
had one lamb
5:36
that he loved
5:37
and
5:37
treated almost as if
5:38
it was one of his
5:39
children
5:40
but then the rich man
5:42
had a visitor come
5:43
and instead of killing
5:45
one of the many
5:45
livestock that he had
5:47
he killed
5:48
and took
5:48
he stole
5:49
and killed
5:50
the little lamb
5:51
of the poor man
5:52
and then David
5:53
is outraged
5:54
he is furious
5:55
and he says
5:55
as the Lord lives
5:57
that man deserves
5:58
to die
5:59
you know
6:01
and little did he know
6:02
that he was pronouncing
6:03
judgment on himself
6:04
when he said that
6:05
so then
6:06
Nathan says
6:09
you are the man
6:11
and he
6:11
like
6:12
it's
6:12
it's like
6:14
he says
6:14
like
6:14
no
6:14
you're the man
6:15
he's like
6:15
you are the man
6:16
like yells it at him
6:17
and so he's found out
6:19
he's confronted by Nathan
6:22
and he knows that
6:23
that his sin
6:24
has been exposed
6:25
that the Lord
6:27
knows
6:27
like what happened
6:28
Proverbs 15
6:30
3 says
6:30
the eyes of the Lord
6:31
are in every place
6:32
keeping watch
6:34
over evil
6:35
and good
6:35
so
6:37
out of David's mouth
6:39
comes
6:40
I have sinned
6:41
against the Lord
6:42
and a psalm
6:44
of repentance
6:45
then comes
6:47
so
6:49
after he says
6:51
I have sinned
6:51
against the Lord
6:52
Nathan then tells him
6:53
the Lord
6:54
has taken away
6:55
your sin
6:55
crazy phrase
6:58
which we're going
6:59
to get into
6:59
so
7:01
so how can we
7:03
look at this
7:03
so I bet
7:05
later on
7:05
after Nathan
7:06
confronted him
7:07
he kind of
7:07
had some time
7:07
to himself
7:08
he probably
7:09
got alone
7:11
in the palace
7:12
or he went out
7:12
in the wilderness
7:12
where he was
7:13
when he was
7:14
fleeing Saul
7:15
and kind of
7:15
just got by himself
7:16
and he
7:16
communed
7:17
with the Lord
7:18
and
7:18
and he
7:20
wrote this psalm
7:22
in response
7:23
and this psalm
7:24
really does exhibit
7:25
true repentance
7:26
so we're going
7:27
to do it
7:27
in the form
7:28
of questions
7:28
the first one
7:30
is how do we
7:31
approach God
7:31
for mercy
7:32
and forgiveness
7:33
how do we
7:34
approach God
7:35
for mercy
7:35
and forgiveness
7:36
if you look
7:37
at verse 1
7:38
and 2
7:38
have mercy
7:40
on me
7:41
oh God
7:41
according to
7:43
your steadfast
7:44
love
7:44
according to
7:45
your abundant
7:46
mercy
7:47
blot out
7:48
my transgressions
7:49
wash me
7:51
thoroughly
7:51
of my iniquity
7:52
and cleanse me
7:52
from my sin
7:53
so
7:54
he pleads
7:56
mercy
7:57
and forgiveness
7:58
pardon
7:59
forgiveness
8:01
mercy
8:02
is undeserved
8:03
it is a
8:04
it's given
8:05
only by God's
8:06
good pleasure
8:07
nothing that you
8:08
can earn
8:08
at all
8:09
and
8:10
so what's
8:12
his case
8:12
before God
8:13
David has
8:14
no hope
8:15
of like
8:15
pleading with God
8:16
according to
8:17
his goodness
8:17
or his righteousness
8:19
because
8:19
based on the story
8:21
his righteousness
8:21
and goodness
8:22
is terrible
8:23
so he has
8:24
no case
8:25
to plead
8:25
like he can't
8:26
say I'm a good guy
8:27
he knows
8:28
that he's not
8:28
and his actions
8:30
just prove that
8:31
so it's faulty
8:33
so what does he do
8:34
he pleads not
8:35
on his own merit
8:36
he pleads
8:38
according to God
8:39
he says
8:40
according to
8:40
your
8:41
steadfast love
8:42
according to
8:43
your
8:43
abundant mercy
8:45
the way that reads
8:46
is the multitude
8:47
of your tender
8:47
mercies
8:48
your tender
8:49
compassions
8:50
so he
8:51
recognizes
8:52
he has no
8:52
entitlement
8:53
to ask God
8:54
for anything
8:54
at all
8:55
and
8:56
when we're there
8:57
we have to be
8:58
sensible
8:58
that God
8:59
should not
9:00
is under
9:01
no obligation
9:02
to spare us
9:03
we have to be
9:04
aware of that
9:04
reality
9:05
some of us
9:06
think that
9:06
we deserve it
9:08
when we get
9:09
angry with God
9:10
because of something
9:11
rough that happens
9:12
and shake our
9:13
fist at him
9:13
you're saying
9:14
that I deserve it
9:15
how dare you
9:16
bring this
9:17
upon me
9:17
David
9:19
has no such
9:20
case
9:21
he recognizes
9:22
that he's
9:23
not worthy
9:23
that God
9:24
should show
9:24
him mercy
9:24
otherwise
9:26
it would not
9:26
be mercy
9:27
right
9:27
so he
9:29
knows
9:29
there's
9:29
nothing
9:29
he can
9:29
do
9:29
to make
9:30
amends
9:30
for his
9:31
sins
9:31
so
9:32
what he
9:33
does
9:33
is awesome
9:33
you have
9:34
to remember
9:34
this
9:34
remember
9:35
this
9:35
when you
9:35
pray
9:36
David
9:37
appeals
9:37
to God
9:38
in a
9:39
manner
9:39
that
9:41
he taps
9:43
into the
9:44
very character
9:45
of God
9:45
himself
9:45
because he
9:46
knows
9:46
within
9:47
God
9:48
it's in
9:48
God's
9:49
nature
9:49
to be
9:50
merciful
9:51
he appeals
9:52
to God's
9:52
nature
9:53
not his
9:53
own
9:53
he
9:54
appeals
9:55
to God's
9:56
steadfast
9:57
love
9:57
it's in
9:57
the very
9:58
nature
9:58
of God
9:59
to forgive
10:00
and to
10:00
pardon
10:00
and that's
10:02
where he
10:02
goes
10:02
it's not
10:03
according
10:04
to you
10:04
or according
10:05
to me
10:06
and my
10:06
righteousness
10:06
but yours
10:07
it's in
10:09
the nature
10:09
of God
10:09
to forgive
10:11
pardon
10:11
heal
10:12
Isaiah
10:13
30
10:13
verse
10:13
18
10:14
says
10:15
therefore
10:17
Jehovah
10:18
longs
10:19
to be
10:19
gracious
10:19
to you
10:20
he longs
10:21
to be
10:21
gracious
10:22
to you
10:22
and therefore
10:24
he waits
10:24
on high
10:25
to have
10:26
compassion
10:26
on you
10:27
for Jehovah
10:28
is a God
10:29
of justice
10:30
how blessed
10:31
are those
10:31
who long
10:32
for him
10:32
so he
10:33
knows that
10:34
truth
10:34
and so
10:35
he's
10:35
going to
10:35
that
10:36
and so
10:37
that's
10:39
how you
10:39
have to
10:40
pray
10:40
like Lord
10:40
I'm
10:41
nothing
10:41
I don't
10:42
deserve
10:42
anything
10:42
but you
10:43
delight
10:44
in showing
10:45
compassion
10:45
you delight
10:47
in showing
10:47
mercy
10:48
so look
10:49
at the
10:49
terms
10:50
that are
10:50
used
10:51
in verses
10:51
1 and
10:51
2
10:52
like
10:53
they're
10:53
terms
10:54
of the
10:54
crime
10:54
committed
10:55
he uses
10:56
transgression
10:57
iniquity
10:58
and sin
10:59
they're all
11:01
pretty much
11:01
trying to
11:02
convey
11:02
the evil
11:03
of what
11:03
he's
11:03
done
11:03
so
11:04
transgression
11:05
is a
11:06
deliberate
11:07
premeditated
11:09
crossing of the line
11:11
that you knew
11:11
you weren't
11:11
supposed to cross
11:12
it's that
11:13
you know
11:13
that was
11:14
wrong
11:14
because
11:14
you're
11:14
going to
11:15
do
11:15
it
11:15
anyway
11:15
David
11:16
knew
11:16
what
11:17
he
11:17
was
11:17
doing
11:17
he
11:17
was
11:17
not
11:17
in
11:18
ignorance
11:18
at
11:18
all
11:19
also
11:21
iniquity
11:21
and that
11:22
is a
11:23
perverting
11:23
or a
11:24
twisting
11:25
of what
11:26
God
11:26
has said
11:27
I know
11:28
God
11:28
has said
11:28
this
11:28
I know
11:29
it's
11:29
okay
11:29
that
11:29
God
11:29
said
11:30
that
11:31
I
11:31
can't
11:31
live
11:32
this
11:33
way
11:33
or
11:33
act
11:33
that
11:33
way
11:34
but
11:34
I'm
11:34
going
11:34
to
11:34
do
11:34
it
11:34
anyway
11:34
!
11:34
It
11:35
can't
11:35
be
11:35
that
11:35
bad
11:35
it's
11:36
like
11:36
that
11:36
internal
11:37
lawyer
11:37
that
11:38
tries
11:38
to
11:38
justify
11:38
your
11:39
sin
11:39
when
11:40
you
11:40
know
11:40
God
11:40
has
11:41
said
11:41
no
11:42
and
11:44
then
11:44
he
11:44
used
11:44
the
11:44
term
11:44
sin
11:45
the
11:45
one
11:45
that
11:45
most
11:46
of
11:46
us
11:46
are
11:46
familiar
11:47
with
11:47
is
11:47
the
11:47
missing
11:49
of
11:49
the
11:49
mark
11:49
that
11:50
God
11:51
has
11:51
set
11:51
that
11:51
God
11:51
has
11:52
intended
11:52
for
11:52
you
11:53
to
11:53
live
11:53
and
11:54
all
11:54
of
11:54
us
11:54
have
11:54
missed
11:55
that
11:55
we've
11:55
all
11:55
fallen
11:55
short
11:56
of
11:56
the
11:56
way
11:56
that
11:56
God
11:57
intended
11:57
us
11:57
to
11:57
live
11:58
and
11:58
then
11:59
he
11:59
even
11:59
causes
11:59
his
12:00
act
12:01
evil
12:01
later
12:02
on
12:02
it's
12:03
that
12:03
dark
12:03
terrible
12:04
unholy
12:05
everything
12:06
that
12:06
is
12:07
not
12:07
God
12:07
so
12:08
that's
12:08
the
12:09
terms
12:09
he
12:09
uses
12:09
for
12:10
his
12:10
own
12:11
actions
12:11
he
12:12
doesn't
12:12
say
12:12
it
12:12
wasn't
12:13
that
12:13
bad
12:13
he's
12:13
like
12:13
I
12:13
was
12:14
committing
12:14
transgression
12:15
iniquity
12:16
and
12:16
sin
12:16
and
12:17
evil
12:17
so
12:18
then
12:19
what
12:19
does
12:19
he
12:19
say
12:19
he
12:22
uses
12:22
these
12:22
awesome
12:22
terms
12:23
depicting
12:24
spiritual
12:25
restoration
12:25
that
12:26
only
12:26
God
12:27
himself
12:27
can
12:28
perform
12:28
in
12:29
light
12:29
of
12:29
these
12:30
evils
12:30
he
12:31
used
12:31
the
12:31
term
12:32
blot
12:32
blot
12:33
out
12:33
my
12:34
transgressions
12:34
right
12:35
it
12:36
means
12:36
to
12:36
wipe
12:36
away
12:37
to
12:37
obliterate
12:38
exterminate
12:39
in
12:40
the
12:40
ancient
12:41
times
12:41
they
12:41
used
12:41
papyrus
12:42
to
12:42
write
12:42
on
12:43
and
12:44
it
12:44
was
12:44
pretty
12:44
valuable
12:45
a
12:46
lot
12:46
of
12:46
times
12:46
they
12:46
would
12:47
take
12:47
a
12:47
cloth
12:47
or
12:47
something
12:48
and
12:49
erase
12:50
something
12:50
that
12:51
was
12:51
on
12:51
it
12:51
and
12:51
reuse
12:52
it
12:52
and
12:52
he's
12:53
saying
12:53
here's
12:54
the
12:54
record
12:55
of
12:55
that
12:55
evil
12:57
blot it
12:58
out
12:58
wipe
12:59
it
13:00
away
13:00
then
13:02
he
13:02
says
13:02
wash
13:04
to
13:05
wash
13:06
by
13:06
treading
13:06
out
13:06
wash
13:07
away
13:07
we
13:08
all
13:08
know
13:08
how
13:09
refreshing
13:09
it
13:09
is
13:10
to
13:11
have
13:11
some
13:12
of
13:12
you
13:12
have
13:13
been
13:13
camping
13:13
or
13:14
hiking
13:15
for
13:15
days
13:16
and
13:16
days
13:16
at
13:16
a
13:16
time
13:17
been
13:17
in
13:17
the
13:17
field
13:17
and
13:18
you're
13:18
cool
13:18
with
13:19
it
13:19
while
13:19
you're
13:19
there
13:19
but
13:20
then
13:20
when
13:20
you
13:20
come
13:21
home
13:21
you're
13:21
like
13:21
man
13:21
I
13:21
gotta
13:21
get
13:22
a
13:22
shower
13:22
like
13:22
you
13:23
just
13:23
stink
13:24
and
13:24
you
13:27
after
13:28
you
13:28
get
13:29
home
13:29
but
13:30
we
13:31
all
13:31
know
13:32
how
13:32
good
13:32
that
13:32
feels
13:33
but
13:33
he's
13:33
talking
13:34
about
13:34
feeling
13:35
that
13:35
spiritually
13:36
like
13:37
washing
13:37
away
13:38
of
13:38
all
13:38
the
13:39
evil
13:39
that
13:39
he
13:39
has
13:39
done
13:40
then
13:41
he
13:41
used
13:41
the
13:41
words
13:42
to
13:42
cleanse
13:42
to
13:43
purify
13:43
to
13:44
make
13:44
whole
13:44
right
13:45
awesome
13:46
words
13:46
and
13:47
all
13:48
that
13:48
according
13:48
to
13:49
God's
13:49
steadfast
13:50
love
13:50
and
13:50
God's
13:51
aberned
13:51
mercy
13:52
these
13:53
are
13:53
words
13:53
that
13:53
our
13:53
souls
13:54
should
13:55
long
13:55
for
13:55
in
13:56
light
13:56
of
13:57
our
13:57
sin
13:57
so
13:58
that's
13:58
the
13:59
first
13:59
question
13:59
second
14:01
question
14:01
what
14:02
is
14:03
true
14:03
confession
14:04
of
14:04
sin
14:04
what
14:05
is
14:05
true
14:05
confession
14:06
of
14:06
sin
14:06
we
14:08
see
14:08
this
14:09
in
14:09
verses
14:09
3
14:09
through
14:10
5
14:11
he
14:11
says
14:11
for
14:12
I
14:12
know
14:13
my
14:13
transgressions
14:14
and
14:15
my
14:15
sin
14:15
is
14:15
ever
14:16
before
14:16
me
14:16
against
14:18
you
14:18
and
14:18
you
14:18
only
14:19
have
14:19
I
14:19
sinned
14:19
against
14:20
and
14:20
done
14:20
what
14:20
is
14:20
evil
14:21
in
14:21
your
14:22
sight
14:22
so
14:23
that
14:23
you
14:24
may
14:24
be
14:24
justified
14:24
in
14:25
your
14:25
words
14:25
and
14:25
blameless
14:26
in
14:26
your
14:26
judgment
14:27
behold
14:28
I
14:28
was
14:28
brought
14:28
forth
14:29
in
14:29
in
14:29
in
14:29
sin
14:30
did
14:31
my
14:31
mother
14:31
conceived
14:32
me
14:32
so
14:33
look at
14:35
verse 3
14:36
there
14:36
he
14:36
says
14:36
I
14:37
know
14:38
my
14:38
transgressions
14:39
within
14:40
its
14:40
ever
14:40
before
14:41
me
14:41
he's
14:42
recognizing
14:42
that
14:43
he
14:44
knows
14:45
humbly
14:45
recognizing
14:46
that he
14:46
knows
14:46
he's
14:47
sinned
14:47
against
14:47
God
14:47
and
14:48
that
14:49
his
14:49
sin
14:49
is
14:50
ever
14:50
present
14:50
with
14:51
him
14:51
that
14:51
is
14:51
staring
14:51
him
14:52
in
14:52
the
14:52
face
14:53
that
14:54
he
14:54
can't
14:54
get
14:54
away
14:54
from
14:55
it
14:55
those
14:56
of
14:56
you
14:56
who
14:56
are
14:57
living
14:58
in
14:58
sin
14:58
now
14:58
like
14:59
secret
15:00
sin
15:00
in
15:00
your
15:00
life
15:00
or
15:00
even
15:01
open
15:01
sin
15:01
and
15:02
you
15:04
know
15:04
it's
15:05
inside
15:05
of you
15:06
it
15:07
says
15:08
in
15:08
scripture
15:08
that
15:08
there's
15:08
no
15:09
peace
15:09
for
15:09
the
15:09
wicked
15:10
there's
15:10
no rest
15:10
for
15:11
the
15:11
wicked
15:11
when
15:12
you
15:12
know
15:12
that
15:12
you're
15:12
living
15:13
in
15:13
open
15:13
sin
15:13
your
15:14
heart
15:14
is
15:15
in
15:15
turmoil
15:15
and
15:15
you
15:16
will
15:16
have
15:16
no
15:16
peace
15:17
and
15:17
you
15:17
know
15:17
that
15:17
he
15:18
recognizes
15:19
that
15:19
my
15:20
sin
15:21
is
15:21
ever
15:21
before
15:21
me
15:22
and
15:22
is
15:23
staring
15:23
me
15:23
in
15:23
the
15:23
face
15:24
then
15:25
he
15:25
says
15:26
like
15:28
the
15:28
results
15:29
of
15:29
sin
15:29
right
15:30
they
15:30
stain
15:30
us
15:31
and
15:32
it's
15:34
not
15:34
anybody's
15:35
fault
15:35
but
15:36
your
15:36
own
15:37
like
15:37
this
15:37
is
15:37
David's
15:38
fault
15:38
this
15:38
wasn't
15:39
Bathsheba's
15:39
fault
15:39
like
15:40
he
15:40
knows
15:41
that
15:41
he's
15:41
guilty
15:41
he's
15:41
taking
15:42
responsibility
15:42
I
15:43
know
15:43
what
15:43
I
15:43
did
15:43
I
15:44
know
15:45
what
15:45
I
15:45
did
15:45
and
15:45
I
15:45
recognize
15:46
it
15:46
and
15:46
I
15:46
call
15:46
it
15:46
for
15:47
what
15:47
it
15:47
is
15:47
sometimes
15:48
when
15:48
we
15:49
confess
15:49
sin
15:50
to
15:50
one
15:50
another
15:50
we
15:50
use
15:50
phrases
15:51
like
15:51
I
15:52
messed
15:52
up
15:53
or
15:54
I
15:54
did
15:55
something
15:56
wrong
15:57
call
15:58
it
15:58
what
15:58
it
15:58
is
15:58
sometimes
15:59
those
16:00
are
16:00
like
16:00
terms
16:01
to
16:01
kind
16:01
of
16:01
soothe
16:02
like
16:02
the
16:02
actual
16:03
evil
16:03
that
16:03
we
16:03
committed
16:04
it's
16:05
sin
16:05
and
16:05
it's
16:05
rebellion
16:06
before
16:06
God
16:06
and
16:07
he
16:07
confesses
16:08
that
16:09
then
16:10
look
16:10
at
16:10
verse
16:10
four
16:11
and
16:11
this
16:11
is
16:11
key
16:11
this
16:13
is
16:13
key
16:13
he
16:14
says
16:14
against
16:15
you
16:15
and
16:16
you
16:16
only
16:17
have
16:17
I
16:17
sinned
16:17
against
16:18
and
16:19
done
16:19
what
16:19
is
16:19
evil
16:20
in
16:20
your
16:20
sight
16:20
David
16:22
could
16:22
have
16:22
said
16:23
and
16:24
he
16:24
would
16:24
have
16:24
been
16:24
right
16:24
in a
16:25
sense
16:26
Lord
16:27
I
16:27
tragically
16:27
sinned
16:29
against
16:29
Bathsheba
16:30
I
16:31
tragically
16:31
sinned
16:32
against
16:32
Uriah
16:32
and
16:33
the
16:33
nation
16:33
of
16:33
Israel
16:34
as
16:34
their
16:34
king
16:34
and
16:35
that
16:35
would
16:36
have
16:36
been
16:36
true
16:36
yet
16:37
he
16:37
confesses
16:38
against
16:38
God
16:39
alone
16:39
as
16:39
he
16:39
sinned
16:40
against
16:40
and
16:41
why
16:41
because
16:42
all
16:42
sin
16:42
ultimately
16:43
supremely
16:44
is an
16:45
affront
16:46
to
16:46
God
16:46
himself
16:47
he
16:48
is
16:48
the
16:48
one
16:48
who
16:48
actually
16:48
defines
16:49
sin
16:50
right
16:51
so
16:52
sin
16:52
is
16:52
what
16:52
God
16:53
intrinsically
16:53
hates
16:54
and
16:55
is
16:55
devoted
16:56
to
16:56
destroying
16:57
so
16:58
some
16:59
of
17:00
us
17:00
feel
17:00
bad
17:00
about
17:00
sin
17:01
because
17:02
it
17:02
hurts
17:02
us
17:02
it
17:03
stinks
17:04
like
17:05
we
17:05
feel
17:05
guilt
17:06
we
17:06
feel
17:06
shame
17:06
we
17:07
don't
17:07
like
17:07
what
17:07
it
17:07
does
17:07
to
17:08
us
17:08
turn
17:10
to
17:10
keep
17:11
your
17:11
hands
17:11
on
17:11
51
17:12
but
17:12
look
17:12
at
17:12
2nd
17:13
Corinthians
17:14
chapter
17:15
7
17:15
please
17:15
there's
17:18
only
17:18
just
17:18
two
17:18
places
17:19
for
17:19
you
17:19
to
17:19
turn
17:19
outside
17:20
Psalm
17:21
51
17:21
today
17:22
but
17:22
look
17:22
at
17:22
2nd
17:22
Corinthians
17:23
chapter
17:24
7
17:24
so
17:32
though
17:32
sin
17:33
does
17:33
bring
17:34
great
17:34
harm
17:35
to
17:35
ourselves
17:35
and
17:36
others
17:36
right
17:37
ultimately
17:39
it's
17:40
against
17:40
God
17:40
right
17:42
it's
17:42
against
17:42
our
17:42
loving
17:43
creator
17:43
and
17:44
when
17:44
he
17:44
was
17:44
confronted
17:45
this
17:45
is
17:45
what
17:45
David
17:46
said
17:46
to
17:46
him
17:46
he
17:46
said
17:46
I've
17:47
sinned
17:48
against
17:48
the
17:48
Lord
17:48
that's
17:49
what
17:49
he
17:49
said
17:49
to
17:49
Nathan
17:49
so
17:51
let's
17:53
see
17:53
here
17:54
look
17:55
at
17:55
2nd
17:55
Corinthians
17:56
chapter
17:56
7
17:56
verse
17:57
9
17:57
this
17:58
is
17:58
Paul
17:59
talking
17:59
and
17:59
he
17:59
says
18:00
as
18:00
it
18:01
is
18:01
I
18:01
rejoice
18:02
not
18:02
because
18:02
you
18:02
were
18:03
grieved
18:03
but
18:04
because
18:04
you
18:05
were
18:05
grieved
18:05
into
18:05
repenting
18:06
for
18:07
you
18:08
felt
18:08
a
18:08
godly
18:09
grief
18:09
so
18:10
that
18:10
you
18:10
suffered
18:10
no
18:11
loss
18:11
through
18:11
us
18:12
for
18:13
godly
18:13
grief
18:13
produces
18:14
a
18:14
repentance
18:15
that
18:16
leads
18:16
to
18:16
salvation
18:17
without
18:17
regret
18:18
!
18:19
So
18:22
this
18:22
is
18:23
a
18:23
very
18:23
clear
18:24
definition
18:24
of what
18:25
true
18:25
repentance
18:25
is
18:26
repentance
18:26
isn't
18:27
just
18:27
badness
18:28
it's
18:28
not
18:28
breaking
18:28
god's
18:29
law
18:29
in
18:30
and
18:30
of
18:30
itself
18:31
it
18:31
is
18:31
in
18:31
a
18:31
way
18:32
but
18:32
it's
18:33
saying
18:33
to
18:33
god
18:33
i
18:33
don't
18:34
want
18:34
you
18:34
it's
18:35
turning
18:35
away
18:35
from
18:36
god
18:36
and
18:36
turning
18:36
to
18:37
the
18:38
garbage
18:38
of
18:38
the
18:38
world
18:38
to
18:39
give
18:39
us
18:39
only
18:39
what
18:39
god
18:40
can
18:40
give
18:40
us
18:41
and
18:42
so
18:42
it's
18:43
not
18:43
just
18:43
feeling
18:44
bad
18:44
and
18:44
feeling
18:45
guilty
18:45
even
18:49
like
18:50
i've
18:50
heard
18:50
people
18:50
well
18:51
i'm
18:51
sharing
18:51
the
18:51
gospel
18:52
with
18:52
this
18:52
guy
18:52
and
18:52
he
18:53
seems
18:54
to
18:54
be
18:54
he
18:55
feels
18:55
pretty
18:55
bad
18:56
about
18:56
what
18:56
he's
18:56
done
18:56
i'm
18:56
like
18:57
well
18:57
it's
18:57
different
18:57
than
18:58
feeling
18:59
true
18:59
conviction
18:59
of
19:00
sin
19:00
it's
19:01
not
19:01
just
19:01
feeling
19:01
bad
19:02
for
19:02
what
19:02
you've
19:02
done
19:02
right
19:04
it's
19:05
mainly
19:05
because
19:06
you
19:07
have
19:07
sinned
19:08
against
19:08
god
19:09
and
19:09
the
19:09
way
19:09
that
19:09
david
19:09
defines
19:10
it
19:10
here
19:10
and
19:10
Paul
19:11
he
19:11
says
19:12
there's
19:12
two
19:12
kinds
19:12
of
19:13
sorrow
19:13
there's
19:13
worldly
19:13
sorrow
19:14
which
19:15
even
19:15
unbelievers
19:16
have
19:16
it's
19:16
man
19:17
centered
19:17
it's
19:18
merely
19:18
feeling
19:19
guilty
19:19
about
19:19
something
19:20
that
19:21
you've
19:21
done
19:21
and
19:22
it
19:22
leads
19:22
to
19:23
death
19:23
that's
19:23
like
19:23
what
19:23
he
19:23
says
19:24
then
19:25
he
19:25
says
19:25
there's
19:25
a
19:26
godly
19:26
sorrow
19:26
it's
19:27
god
19:28
centered
19:28
this
19:29
ultimately
19:30
means
19:31
that
19:31
you're
19:31
sorry
19:31
and
19:32
you're
19:32
broken
19:32
because
19:33
you
19:33
have
19:33
sinned
19:34
against
19:34
your
19:34
creator
19:35
you've
19:35
insulted
19:35
him
19:36
and
19:36
you've
19:36
hurt
19:37
him
19:37
right
19:38
true
19:39
repentance
19:40
starts
19:40
with a
19:42
sin
19:43
it's
19:43
ultimately
19:43
against
19:43
the
19:44
lord
19:44
himself
19:44
and
19:45
it
19:45
has
19:45
to
19:45
be
19:46
that
19:46
way
19:46
right
19:47
so
19:48
it's
19:49
a
19:49
godly
19:49
sorrow
19:50
that
19:50
leads
19:50
us
19:50
to
19:51
true
19:51
repentance
19:52
right
19:54
so
19:55
we
19:56
look at
19:57
we have
19:58
to think
19:58
of sin
19:58
as a
19:59
spiritual
19:59
condition
20:00
David
20:01
recognizes
20:01
that
20:02
reality
20:02
he says
20:03
behold
20:04
I was
20:04
brought
20:05
forth
20:05
in
20:05
in
20:05
in
20:05
in
20:07
sin
20:07
my
20:07
mother
20:07
conceived
20:08
me
20:08
right
20:09
yes
20:10
he
20:10
recognizes
20:11
that
20:12
his
20:12
action
20:13
was a
20:14
result
20:14
of
20:15
who
20:15
he
20:15
was
20:15
not
20:16
that
20:16
he
20:17
did
20:17
something
20:17
bad
20:17
he
20:17
recognized
20:18
that
20:18
he
20:18
was
20:18
born
20:19
in
20:20
a
20:20
state
20:20
of
20:21
sin
20:21
and
20:22
he's
20:22
not
20:23
making
20:23
an
20:23
excuse
20:23
either
20:24
some
20:24
people
20:24
may
20:24
think
20:25
that
20:25
he's
20:25
not
20:25
saying
20:25
well
20:26
God
20:26
I was
20:27
born
20:27
that
20:27
way
20:28
he
20:28
knows
20:29
that
20:29
it's
20:29
an
20:29
affront
20:30
to
20:30
God
20:30
but
20:31
what
20:31
it
20:31
is
20:31
he's
20:32
imploring
20:33
God
20:34
asking
20:35
God
20:35
to
20:35
show
20:35
mercy
20:36
right
20:37
he's
20:37
saying
20:37
I'm
20:38
so
20:38
weak
20:38
I'm
20:39
so
20:39
small
20:40
I'm
20:41
so
20:41
pathetic
20:42
please
20:42
have
20:43
mercy
20:43
on
20:43
me
20:43
that's
20:44
why
20:44
he's
20:45
using
20:45
that
20:45
argument
20:46
to
20:46
show
20:47
how
20:47
spiritually
20:48
depraved
20:49
he is
20:50
apart
20:50
from
20:50
God
20:50
right
20:52
sin
20:53
gives
20:54
us
20:54
darkened
20:55
understanding
20:56
corrupted
20:57
hearts
20:57
it says
20:58
in the
20:59
scripture
20:59
that if
20:59
you don't
21:00
belong
21:00
to
21:00
Christ
21:00
you
21:01
belong
21:02
to
21:02
the
21:02
devil
21:02
that's
21:02
like
21:02
what
21:02
it
21:03
says
21:03
John
21:03
says
21:03
that
21:04
Jesus
21:04
himself
21:04
said
21:04
you
21:05
don't
21:05
believe
21:06
in
21:06
me
21:06
and
21:07
you
21:07
do
21:08
the
21:08
desires
21:09
of
21:09
your
21:09
father
21:09
the
21:10
devil
21:10
that's
21:11
like
21:11
what
21:11
he
21:11
says
21:12
and
21:12
it
21:12
says
21:13
Paul
21:13
says
21:14
that
21:14
you're
21:14
being
21:14
held
21:14
by
21:15
captive
21:15
by
21:16
Satan
21:16
to
21:16
do
21:17
his
21:17
will
21:17
if
21:17
you
21:17
do
21:17
not
21:18
know
21:18
Christ
21:18
so
21:20
out
21:20
of
21:20
all
21:21
of
21:21
that
21:21
it's
21:22
a
21:22
scary
21:22
prognosis
21:23
so
21:23
David
21:24
begs
21:25
God
21:25
implores
21:26
God
21:26
I'm
21:26
so
21:27
weak
21:27
I'm
21:28
so
21:28
small
21:29
I'm
21:29
so
21:29
sinful
21:30
this
21:30
is
21:30
all
21:31
I've
21:31
ever
21:31
known
21:31
please
21:32
have
21:32
mercy
21:32
on
21:32
me
21:33
that's
21:34
the
21:34
argument
21:34
he
21:35
makes
21:35
the
21:36
third
21:36
question
21:37
how
21:39
do
21:39
we
21:39
plea
21:39
for
21:39
restoration
21:40
and
21:40
healing
21:41
how
21:42
do
21:42
we
21:42
plea
21:43
for
21:44
restoration
21:44
and
21:44
healing
21:45
and
21:45
this
21:45
is
21:45
seen
21:45
in
21:45
verses
21:46
6
21:47
through
21:47
12
21:47
he
21:48
says
21:49
behold
21:50
you
21:50
delight
21:50
in
21:50
truth
21:51
and
21:51
the
21:51
inward
21:51
being
21:52
and
21:52
you
21:52
teach
21:52
me
21:53
wisdom
21:53
in
21:54
the
21:54
secret
21:54
heart
21:55
so
21:56
there
21:56
he's
21:57
really
21:57
saying
21:57
God
21:58
save
21:59
me
21:59
and
21:59
change
21:59
me
21:59
from
22:00
the
22:00
inside
22:00
out
22:00
you
22:00
desire
22:01
truth
22:01
in
22:01
the
22:02
inner
22:02
depths
22:02
of
22:03
who
22:03
I
22:03
am
22:04
go
22:04
door
22:05
to
22:05
door
22:05
inside
22:06
my
22:06
heart
22:06
and
22:07
change
22:07
it
22:07
make
22:08
it
22:08
yours
22:09
right
22:10
he
22:11
goes
22:11
on
22:12
purse
22:13
me
22:13
with
22:13
hyssop
22:14
and
22:14
I
22:15
shall
22:15
be
22:15
clean
22:15
wash
22:16
me
22:16
I'll
22:17
be
22:17
whiter
22:17
than
22:17
snow
22:18
let
22:19
me
22:19
hear
22:19
joy
22:19
and
22:20
gladness
22:20
let
22:20
the
22:20
bones
22:21
that
22:21
you
22:21
have
22:24
and
22:25
blot
22:25
out
22:26
all
22:26
my
22:26
iniquities
22:27
create
22:28
in me
22:28
a
22:28
clean
22:28
heart
22:29
oh
22:29
God
22:29
and
22:29
renew
22:29
a
22:30
right
22:30
spirit
22:30
within
22:30
me
22:31
cast
22:31
me
22:32
not
22:32
away
22:32
from
22:32
your
22:32
presence
22:33
and
22:34
take
22:34
not
22:34
your
22:34
holy
22:35
spirit
22:35
from
22:35
me
22:35
restore
22:36
to me
22:37
the
22:37
joy
22:37
of
22:37
your
22:37
salvation
22:38
and
22:38
uphold
22:38
me
22:39
with
22:39
a
22:39
willing
22:39
spirit
22:40
and
22:42
based
22:42
on the
22:42
language
22:43
in here
22:43
we can
22:43
learn a
22:43
lot
22:44
about
22:44
sin
22:44
and
22:44
a
22:44
lot
22:45
about
22:45
what
22:45
God
22:45
can
22:45
do
22:46
!
22:46
response
22:47
to
22:54
Hyssop
22:54
was a
22:55
plant
22:55
in the
22:56
mint
22:56
family
22:56
and
22:57
it
22:57
was
22:57
used
22:58
it
22:58
had
22:58
like
22:58
a
22:58
cluster
22:59
of
22:59
yellow
22:59
flowers
23:00
on it
23:00
it
23:00
was
23:01
used
23:01
during
23:02
the
23:02
Passover
23:02
when
23:03
the
23:04
Jews
23:04
were
23:04
still
23:04
in
23:04
Egypt
23:04
and
23:05
they
23:05
wiped
23:06
blood
23:06
over
23:06
the
23:06
doorpost
23:07
they
23:07
used
23:07
hyssop
23:08
to
23:08
do
23:08
that
23:08
it
23:10
was
23:10
a
23:11
sweet
23:12
smelling
23:12
thing
23:12
and
23:13
he
23:13
says
23:15
that
23:15
it's
23:16
a
23:16
cleansing
23:16
thing
23:17
he
23:17
says
23:18
wash
23:18
me
23:18
I'll
23:18
be
23:18
water
23:19
than
23:19
snow
23:19
we
23:20
actually
23:20
had
23:20
a
23:20
lot
23:20
of
23:20
snow
23:21
here
23:21
like
23:21
it's
23:21
beautiful
23:22
it's
23:23
pure
23:23
it's
23:24
clean
23:25
some
23:26
of us
23:26
didn't
23:27
really like
23:27
having it
23:27
that long
23:28
but like
23:28
it's a
23:29
beautiful
23:29
thing to
23:29
look at
23:30
whether you
23:30
like it
23:30
or not
23:31
whether you
23:31
like the
23:32
cold
23:32
or not
23:32
and he's
23:33
saying
23:33
make me
23:34
clean
23:34
like that
23:35
wash
23:36
me
23:36
I'll
23:36
be
23:37
whiter
23:37
than
23:37
snow
23:38
unadulterated
23:39
pure
23:40
and
23:40
beautiful
23:40
and like
23:42
sin is
23:42
also
23:42
deafness
23:43
like
23:44
to
23:44
joy
23:45
it's
23:46
deafness
23:46
spiritually
23:47
he says
23:48
make me
23:48
here
23:49
right
23:50
make me
23:50
here
23:51
he wanted
23:52
to allow
23:52
God to
23:52
hear
23:53
like to
23:53
hear joy
23:54
and gladness
23:55
once again
23:56
instead of
23:57
just hearing
23:58
the doom
23:58
and gloom
23:58
of the
23:59
reality
23:59
of the
24:00
sin
24:00
he wanted
24:00
to hear
24:00
joy
24:01
and gladness
24:02
again
24:02
sin is
24:04
also
24:04
disgrace
24:06
and
24:07
separation
24:07
I love
24:09
this part
24:09
he says
24:10
in verse
24:11
9
24:11
hide your
24:11
face
24:12
from my
24:13
sin
24:13
notice
24:15
that he
24:16
doesn't
24:16
say
24:17
hide your
24:18
face
24:18
from me
24:19
he says
24:20
hide it
24:20
from my
24:21
sin
24:21
right
24:22
pretty
24:23
key to
24:24
see that
24:25
because to
24:26
the Hebrews
24:26
the greatest
24:27
blessing
24:27
that anybody
24:28
could have
24:29
was to
24:29
see God's
24:30
face
24:30
it was
24:31
to
24:31
because his
24:32
face was a sign
24:33
of his
24:34
his blessing
24:35
his favor
24:35
his attention
24:37
his fellowship
24:38
and the greatest
24:39
curse was for
24:40
God to hide
24:40
his face
24:41
from you
24:42
showing
24:42
displeasure
24:43
and judgment
24:44
and abandonment
24:46
so
24:47
he's like
24:48
don't hide
24:49
your face
24:49
from me
24:50
hide it
24:50
from my
24:50
sin
24:51
I'm
24:52
disgrace
24:52
hide it
24:54
from my
24:54
sin
24:55
so you
24:56
see again
24:56
that ultimately
24:57
he wants
24:58
God himself
24:59
he wants
24:59
fellowship
24:59
with God
25:00
himself
25:00
don't hide
25:01
your face
25:01
from me
25:02
right
25:04
he says
25:05
cast me
25:05
not away
25:06
from your
25:06
presence
25:06
right
25:07
don't cast
25:08
me away
25:08
from your
25:08
presence
25:09
don't take
25:09
your Holy
25:10
Spirit
25:10
from me
25:11
the Holy
25:13
Spirit
25:13
at least
25:14
in the Old
25:14
Testament
25:14
was how
25:15
well it is
25:16
today too
25:16
how God
25:17
manifests his
25:18
presence to
25:18
us
25:19
but in the Old
25:20
Testament
25:20
the Holy
25:21
Spirit
25:21
came and
25:22
he went
25:22
he
25:22
he rested
25:23
and he
25:24
empowered
25:24
prophets
25:25
and kings
25:26
to do the
25:27
work that
25:27
God intended
25:28
them to do
25:29
but it also
25:30
could be
25:30
taken away
25:31
and David
25:32
himself was
25:32
very aware
25:33
of this
25:33
he knew
25:34
that it
25:34
happened
25:34
to Samson
25:35
you know
25:36
God took
25:36
away his
25:37
strength
25:37
through the
25:38
Spirit
25:38
and then he
25:39
also more
25:39
nearer to
25:40
home
25:40
he saw
25:41
it happen
25:41
to Saul
25:42
who was
25:43
before him
25:43
he said
25:43
I don't
25:44
want to
25:44
be that
25:44
way
25:45
I don't
25:46
want God
25:46
to take
25:47
away his
25:47
Spirit
25:47
from me
25:48
he saw
25:49
God
25:50
abandon
25:50
King
25:52
Saul
25:52
so lots
25:53
of people
25:54
want to be
25:54
delivered
25:55
so you may
25:56
be here
25:56
and you think
25:57
I want to be
25:58
delivered from
25:58
the consequences
25:59
of my sin
26:00
but I don't
26:01
really want
26:01
God
26:02
that's something
26:03
you got to
26:04
examine
26:04
in your own
26:06
heart
26:06
you want to
26:07
be delivered
26:08
from the
26:09
consequences
26:09
of your sin
26:10
but you don't
26:10
really want
26:11
fellowship with
26:12
God like
26:12
David does
26:12
he said
26:13
don't
26:13
throw me
26:14
away from
26:14
your presence
26:15
don't turn
26:16
your face
26:17
from me
26:17
you want
26:18
God's gifts
26:19
but not the
26:20
giver
26:20
you want the
26:21
blessings
26:22
not the
26:23
blesser
26:23
right
26:24
and in
26:26
speaking
26:26
you're marrying
26:27
God for his
26:27
money
26:28
you don't
26:29
really want
26:29
him
26:29
and that's
26:31
not what's
26:31
going to
26:32
work out
26:32
Jonathan Edwards
26:34
he said
26:36
this
26:36
I get
26:38
one
26:38
Jonathan
26:38
Edwards
26:39
quote
26:39
in
26:39
he said
26:41
there's a
26:42
great
26:42
difference
26:43
between
26:44
a
26:45
willingness
26:45
not to
26:45
be damned
26:46
and being
26:47
willing to
26:48
be received
26:48
by Christ
26:49
for your
26:49
savior
26:50
you have
26:51
the
26:51
former
26:52
there is
26:53
no doubt
26:53
of that
26:53
nobody
26:54
supposes
26:55
that you
26:55
would love
26:55
misery
26:56
and so
26:57
as choose
26:57
an eternity
26:58
of it
26:58
so he's
26:59
saying
26:59
yeah
27:00
duh
27:00
nobody
27:00
wants to
27:01
go to
27:01
hell
27:01
and like
27:02
have
27:02
an eternity
27:03
of misery
27:03
he says
27:05
and so
27:05
doubtless
27:06
you are
27:06
willing to
27:06
be saved
27:07
from
27:07
eternal
27:07
misery
27:08
but that
27:09
is a
27:09
very
27:10
different
27:10
thing
27:10
from being
27:11
willing
27:12
to come
27:12
to
27:12
Christ
27:13
persons
27:14
very
27:15
commonly
27:15
mistake
27:15
the one
27:16
for the
27:16
other
27:16
but they
27:17
are quite
27:18
two
27:18
different
27:18
things
27:19
you may
27:20
love
27:20
deliverance
27:21
but hate
27:22
the
27:22
deliverer
27:23
the
27:24
inclination
27:24
of your
27:25
will
27:25
goes no
27:26
further
27:27
than
27:27
self
27:27
and it
27:28
never
27:29
reaches
27:29
Christ
27:29
you're
27:30
willing
27:31
not to
27:31
be
27:31
miserable
27:32
that is
27:33
you love
27:33
yourself
27:34
and there
27:35
your will
27:35
and your
27:36
choice
27:36
terminate
27:37
and it
27:37
is a
27:38
vain
27:38
pretense
27:39
and delusion
27:40
to say
27:40
or think
27:41
that you
27:41
are willing
27:42
to accept
27:42
Christ
27:43
scary
27:44
like yeah
27:45
like you
27:45
the only
27:46
concern you
27:46
have is
27:46
for self
27:47
it doesn't
27:48
go beyond
27:48
that to
27:49
love
27:50
for
27:50
Christ
27:51
so like
27:52
you have
27:53
to be
27:53
aware
27:53
of that
27:53
and David
27:54
is
27:54
he gets
27:55
it
27:55
he's like
27:56
I want
27:56
God
27:56
I want
27:58
to be
27:58
restored
27:58
to God
27:59
so
28:01
so if
28:02
you look
28:02
here also
28:03
sin
28:03
is also
28:04
spiritually
28:05
depressing
28:06
it's
28:07
you don't
28:07
have joy
28:08
that's why
28:09
he says
28:09
restore to
28:10
me the
28:10
joy
28:11
of your
28:12
salvation
28:12
in verse
28:13
12
28:14
he asked
28:15
God to
28:15
infuse
28:16
his joy
28:16
his gladness
28:18
and thankfulness
28:19
into his soul
28:20
again
28:20
he begs
28:22
God for
28:22
that
28:22
then he
28:23
says
28:23
uphold me
28:24
with a
28:24
willing spirit
28:25
like keep
28:26
me there
28:26
like give
28:27
me some
28:28
endurance
28:28
to stay
28:29
there
28:30
and to
28:30
remain
28:30
there
28:31
give me
28:32
a willing
28:32
noble
28:33
spirit
28:33
it kind
28:34
of reads
28:34
right
28:35
so
28:37
some of you
28:37
may be
28:38
sitting here
28:38
and thinking
28:39
there's no
28:41
way
28:41
like there's
28:43
no way
28:44
God could
28:45
change me
28:46
it's hopeless
28:47
I've tried
28:48
to change
28:49
myself
28:49
I've tried
28:50
everything I
28:51
can do
28:51
it's hopeless
28:53
I've felt
28:55
that way
28:55
before
28:55
I even
28:56
felt that
28:56
way like
28:56
a couple
28:57
weeks ago
28:57
but it's
29:01
true
29:01
that there's
29:02
nothing you
29:03
can do
29:03
to change
29:04
yourself
29:05
no amount
29:06
of willpower
29:07
or resolve
29:08
can change
29:10
your soul
29:10
it's not
29:12
going to
29:12
happen
29:13
yet
29:14
don't forget
29:14
who it is
29:16
you're praying
29:16
to
29:16
David does
29:18
not
29:18
he uses
29:19
an incredible
29:20
word
29:21
that describes
29:22
his confidence
29:23
in God's
29:23
ability
29:24
to transform
29:25
him
29:25
he used
29:27
the word
29:28
create
29:29
in me
29:29
a clean
29:31
new heart
29:32
that Hebrew
29:33
word
29:33
create
29:34
awesome
29:35
you can guess
29:37
where else
29:37
it's used
29:38
in the Old
29:38
Testament
29:39
it's
29:40
Genesis 1
29:41
1
29:41
in the beginning
29:42
God created
29:43
the heavens
29:44
and the earth
29:44
so he's
29:46
calling on
29:46
that same
29:47
power
29:47
that God
29:48
made the
29:48
universe
29:49
the oceans
29:50
the mountains
29:50
the skies
29:51
all things
29:53
that same
29:53
awesome
29:54
omnipotent
29:54
power
29:55
create in him
29:57
a clean
29:57
heart
29:57
and so
29:59
no you
29:59
can't
30:00
but yes
30:00
God can
30:00
it's never
30:02
too late
30:03
he can change
30:04
you from the
30:04
inside out
30:05
with his
30:06
power
30:07
his hand
30:08
is not
30:09
so short
30:09
that it
30:10
cannot
30:10
save
30:10
he can
30:11
do it
30:11
so think
30:13
about that
30:14
create
30:15
so
30:17
thirdly
30:18
moving on
30:20
thirdly
30:20
what is
30:21
the right
30:22
response
30:23
to God's
30:24
mercy
30:24
what is
30:26
the right
30:26
response
30:26
to God's
30:27
mercy
30:27
we see
30:28
this in
30:29
verses 13
30:30
through 19
30:31
he
30:32
says
30:35
then
30:35
right
30:36
after God's
30:37
restored him
30:38
after God's
30:38
healed him
30:39
then
30:39
I will teach
30:40
transgressors
30:41
your ways
30:41
and sinners
30:42
will return
30:42
to you
30:43
deliver me
30:44
from blood
30:45
guiltiness
30:46
oh God
30:46
God of my
30:47
salvation
30:48
like I've
30:49
committed murder
30:50
please
30:50
help me
30:52
you know
30:52
wipe me
30:53
clean of that
30:54
right
30:55
then my
30:56
tongue will
30:56
sing aloud
30:57
of your
30:57
righteousness
30:58
oh Lord
30:58
open my
30:59
lips
30:59
and my
30:59
mouth
31:00
will declare
31:00
your praise
31:01
and this
31:02
is key
31:02
here
31:03
okay
31:03
for you
31:04
will not
31:05
delight
31:05
and sacrifice
31:06
otherwise
31:07
I would
31:08
give it
31:08
you will
31:09
not be
31:09
pleased
31:10
with the
31:10
burnt
31:10
offering
31:11
so many
31:12
times
31:13
in the
31:13
history
31:13
of Israel
31:14
the people
31:15
would go
31:15
on and
31:16
live
31:16
open
31:16
sinful
31:17
lives
31:18
blatant
31:19
sin
31:19
and then
31:20
they would
31:21
go up
31:21
to the
31:21
temple
31:21
go up
31:22
to
31:22
wherever
31:22
and they
31:23
would
31:23
make
31:23
sacrifices
31:24
like
31:25
okay
31:25
stuff's
31:25
cool
31:26
now
31:26
and then
31:27
go back
31:27
to sinning
31:27
and then
31:28
come back
31:28
and do
31:29
it again
31:29
like
31:30
let's
31:30
just go
31:30
through the
31:31
motions
31:31
and
31:31
God
31:32
will be
31:33
cool
31:33
he was
31:35
very aware
31:35
of that
31:36
but what
31:37
God
31:37
desires
31:38
is the
31:39
person
31:39
the person's
31:40
heart
31:40
and the
31:41
person's
31:41
life
31:41
not
31:42
ridiculous
31:43
sacrifices
31:43
he cares
31:44
more about
31:44
the heart
31:45
of the
31:46
worshiper
31:46
rather than
31:47
just the
31:47
sacrifice
31:47
or what
31:48
they're
31:48
doing
31:48
so
31:49
it's not
31:51
well I've
31:51
sinned against
31:52
God
31:52
so I better
31:53
go to church
31:54
more
31:54
I better
31:55
share the
31:56
gospel
31:56
with more
31:56
people
31:57
I better
31:58
read my
31:58
Bible
31:59
for an
31:59
extra
31:59
hour
32:00
I won't
32:00
eat for
32:00
a few
32:01
days
32:02
you
32:02
punish
32:03
yourself
32:03
in some
32:04
way
32:04
and y'all
32:04
know like
32:05
the guys who I
32:06
confess into
32:06
know I do
32:07
that
32:07
it's stupid
32:10
and it's wrong
32:10
it doesn't
32:11
really
32:11
commit
32:12
convey like
32:13
what God
32:14
wants in
32:14
our hearts
32:15
it's not
32:16
do penance
32:17
like the Roman
32:19
church taught
32:19
that in medieval
32:20
ages
32:20
do penance
32:21
like come
32:22
and make
32:23
amends
32:23
for your
32:23
sins
32:24
by
32:24
buying
32:25
indulgences
32:26
going on
32:26
pilgrimages
32:27
doing good
32:28
works
32:29
it's never
32:30
going to be
32:30
enough
32:30
that's why
32:31
there's
32:31
purgatory
32:32
like that's
32:33
not what
32:33
we teach
32:33
right
32:35
the gospel
32:36
is what we
32:37
believe
32:38
so it's
32:38
not due
32:39
penance
32:39
and I
32:41
can find
32:41
myself
32:42
doing that
32:42
he says
32:43
you don't
32:44
delight in
32:45
those things
32:45
otherwise
32:46
I would
32:46
do it
32:47
right
32:48
men you
32:49
don't abuse
32:50
and spit
32:50
on your
32:51
wives
32:51
and then
32:52
come home
32:52
mow the
32:53
grass
32:53
and do
32:53
the dishes
32:54
and think
32:54
stuff's
32:54
going to
32:54
be cool
32:55
right
32:56
you
32:56
want
32:57
your
32:57
wife
32:58
so he
32:59
says
33:00
you don't
33:00
delight in
33:00
sacrifice
33:01
or I
33:02
would
33:02
give it
33:02
he cares
33:04
more about
33:05
the heart
33:06
and the
33:06
attitude
33:06
of the
33:07
worshiper
33:07
so what
33:08
God
33:09
truly
33:09
desires
33:10
you see
33:10
that
33:10
like in
33:11
the
33:12
sacrifices
33:13
of God
33:14
are a
33:14
broken
33:14
spirit
33:15
a broken
33:16
and contrite
33:17
heart
33:17
oh God
33:18
he will
33:19
not
33:19
despise
33:20
see that
33:22
Jonathan
33:23
Nower
33:23
has called
33:23
this
33:24
humble
33:24
broken
33:25
hearted
33:26
joy
33:26
this
33:27
verse
33:28
humble
33:28
broken
33:28
hearted
33:29
joy
33:29
genuine
33:30
repentance
33:31
brings a
33:31
change in
33:32
our
33:32
attitude
33:32
which
33:33
then
33:34
brings a
33:34
change in
33:34
our
33:34
actions
33:35
right
33:36
that's
33:36
what
33:36
repentance
33:37
does
33:37
it
33:37
changes
33:37
what we
33:38
think
33:38
about
33:38
our
33:39
sin
33:39
so we
33:40
can't
33:40
just
33:40
clean
33:40
up
33:41
the
33:41
outside
33:41
let me
33:42
get
33:42
my
33:42
behavior
33:43
right
33:43
and
33:43
then
33:43
stuff
33:44
will
33:44
be
33:44
cool
33:44
God
33:47
doesn't
33:47
just
33:47
care
33:47
about
33:47
what
33:47
you
33:48
do
33:48
but
33:48
why
33:48
you
33:48
do
33:48
it
33:49
that's
33:49
like
33:49
the
33:49
essence
33:49
of
33:50
sin
33:50
right
33:51
we
33:51
have
33:52
to
33:52
understand
33:52
that
33:52
why
33:53
we
33:54
do
33:54
it
33:54
is
33:54
important
33:54
to
33:55
God
33:55
he
33:56
wants
33:56
our
33:56
hearts
33:57
and
33:57
our
33:57
affections
33:58
to be
33:58
for
33:58
him
33:58
and
33:59
he
33:59
wants
34:00
your
34:00
heart
34:00
he
34:01
wants
34:01
your
34:01
affections
34:02
he
34:03
wants
34:03
you
34:03
so
34:05
from
34:06
right
34:06
actions
34:08
right
34:08
we get
34:08
right
34:09
actions
34:09
from
34:09
right
34:10
motives
34:10
so
34:11
then
34:11
he
34:11
says
34:12
then
34:13
I
34:13
will
34:13
teach
34:13
transgressions
34:14
your
34:14
ways
34:15
I
34:15
will
34:16
tell
34:16
them
34:16
like
34:16
how
34:16
great
34:17
your
34:17
mercy
34:17
is
34:18
I
34:19
will
34:19
go
34:19
out
34:19
and
34:19
preach
34:20
the
34:20
gospel
34:20
if
34:20
you
34:21
will
34:21
tell
34:21
people
34:21
about
34:22
the
34:22
saving
34:22
work
34:23
of
34:24
Christ
34:24
that
34:25
you
34:25
are
34:25
willing
34:26
to
34:27
forgive
34:27
and
34:27
to
34:27
save
34:28
right
34:29
that's
34:30
awesome
34:30
I
34:30
will
34:31
declare
34:31
I
34:31
will
34:31
praise
34:32
you
34:32
in
34:32
my
34:32
lips
34:32
open
34:33
my
34:33
mouth
34:33
to
34:34
do
34:34
this
34:34
right
34:35
so
34:35
awesome
34:36
awesome
34:36
stuff
34:36
so
34:37
after
34:37
he
34:38
restored
34:42
verse
34:43
19
34:44
Keith
34:46
Green
34:46
has a
34:46
good
34:46
song
34:47
back
34:47
in
34:47
the
34:48
70s
34:49
Keith
34:50
Green
34:50
had a
34:50
great
34:50
song
34:50
called
34:51
to
34:51
obey
34:52
is
34:52
better
34:52
than
34:52
sacrifice
34:53
go
34:53
home
34:53
and
34:53
check
34:54
that
34:54
one
34:54
out
34:54
so
34:56
last
34:57
question
34:57
how
34:57
is
34:58
God
34:58
how
34:59
is
34:59
God's
35:00
mercy
35:00
made
35:00
possible
35:01
how
35:02
is
35:02
God's
35:02
mercy
35:03
made
35:04
possible
35:05
so
35:06
how
35:08
could
35:08
God
35:08
pardon
35:09
David
35:09
can
35:10
you
35:10
imagine
35:11
like
35:11
being
35:11
a
35:12
family
35:12
member
35:12
or
35:13
friend
35:13
of
35:13
Uriah
35:14
or
35:14
Bathsheba
35:15
and
35:16
then
35:16
hearing
35:16
that
35:17
conversation
35:17
when
35:17
Nathan
35:18
go
35:18
down
35:18
the
35:19
Lord
35:19
is
35:20
taking
35:20
away
35:20
your
35:20
sin
35:21
you
35:22
would
35:22
be
35:22
outraged
35:23
right
35:24
you
35:24
would
35:24
be
35:24
furious
35:25
like
35:25
what
35:25
he
35:26
gets
35:27
away
35:27
with
35:27
this
35:27
you
35:28
are
35:28
going
35:28
to
35:28
slap
35:29
him
35:29
on
35:29
the
35:29
hand
35:30
like
35:31
all
35:31
of
35:31
us
35:31
are
35:32
angry
35:32
when
35:32
we
35:32
hear
35:32
about
35:32
stuff
35:33
like
35:33
that
35:33
when
35:33
judges
35:34
let
35:34
go
35:34
murderers
35:36
and
35:36
child
35:36
molesters
35:37
and
35:37
whatever
35:37
and
35:38
just
35:38
say
35:38
go
35:39
back
35:39
on
35:39
the
35:39
street
35:39
don't
35:40
do
35:40
it
35:40
again
35:40
you're
35:41
sorry
35:41
right
35:42
don't
35:42
do
35:42
it
35:42
again
35:42
this
35:44
is
35:44
what
35:44
happened
35:45
right
35:46
not
35:49
so
35:49
with
35:49
God
35:50
though
35:50
his
35:51
holiness
35:51
demands
35:52
punishment
35:53
of sin
35:54
you can't
35:55
just say
35:55
go
35:55
home
35:56
stuff's
35:56
cool
35:57
God
35:58
has
35:58
to
35:58
punish
35:58
sin
35:59
so
36:00
look
36:00
at
36:00
Romans
36:00
3
36:01
real
36:02
quick
36:02
Romans
36:02
3
36:03
verse
36:03
22
36:04
God
36:10
is
36:11
devoted
36:11
to
36:12
destroying
36:12
sin
36:13
devoted
36:13
to
36:13
destroying
36:15
evil
36:15
so
36:16
how
36:16
could
36:16
David
36:17
long
36:18
time
36:18
ago
36:19
how
36:19
could
36:19
God
36:19
pardon
36:20
him
36:20
right
36:22
look
36:22
at
36:22
Romans
36:23
3
36:23
verse
36:23
22
36:24
this is
36:24
Paul
36:24
elaborating
36:26
on this
36:26
says
36:27
the righteousness
36:28
of God
36:29
through
36:29
faith
36:29
in
36:30
Jesus
36:31
Christ
36:31
for all
36:31
who
36:31
believe
36:32
for
36:33
there
36:33
is
36:33
no
36:34
distinction
36:34
for
36:35
all
36:36
have
36:36
sinned
36:36
and
36:36
fall
36:36
short
36:37
of
36:37
the
36:37
glory
36:37
of
36:37
God
36:38
there
36:39
it
36:39
is
36:39
we
36:39
all
36:40
stink
36:41
we
36:41
all
36:41
were
36:42
brought
36:42
forth
36:42
in
36:43
iniquity
36:43
and
36:43
sin
36:44
and
36:45
then
36:45
it
36:45
says
36:46
and
36:47
are
36:47
justified
36:48
by
36:49
his
36:50
grace
36:50
as
36:51
a
36:51
gift
36:51
through
36:52
the
36:52
redemption
36:53
that
36:53
is
36:53
in
36:53
Christ
36:54
Jesus
36:54
whom
36:55
God
36:55
put
36:55
forward
36:56
as
36:56
a
36:56
propitiation
36:57
by
36:58
his
36:58
blood
36:59
to
36:59
be
37:00
received
37:00
!
37:00
by
37:00
faith
37:01
!
37:02
why?
37:03
this
37:03
alludes to
37:04
David
37:04
here
37:04
this
37:05
was to
37:05
show
37:06
God's
37:06
righteousness
37:07
because
37:08
in his
37:08
divine
37:09
forbearance
37:10
he
37:10
passed
37:11
over
37:11
former
37:12
sins
37:12
okay
37:13
see
37:14
that
37:14
so like
37:15
in the
37:15
Old Testament
37:16
God forgave
37:17
and God
37:18
pardoned
37:19
right
37:19
because he
37:19
knew
37:20
that one
37:20
day
37:21
that
37:22
David's
37:22
sin
37:22
was going
37:23
to be
37:23
dealt
37:23
with
37:24
at the
37:25
cross
37:25
right
37:25
it
37:27
says
37:27
26
37:28
it
37:28
was
37:28
to
37:28
show
37:29
his
37:29
righteousness
37:29
at the
37:30
present
37:31
time
37:31
so that
37:31
he
37:32
might
37:32
be
37:32
just
37:32
and
37:33
the
37:33
justifier
37:33
of the
37:34
one
37:35
who
37:35
has
37:35
faith
37:35
in
37:35
Jesus
37:36
so
37:37
he
37:37
knew
37:38
that
37:38
one
37:38
day
37:39
he
37:39
would
37:40
punish
37:40
David's
37:40
sin
37:41
in
37:41
Jesus
37:41
the
37:42
Messiah
37:42
Christ
37:43
died
37:44
in
37:44
David's
37:44
place
37:45
he
37:45
was
37:45
a
37:45
propitiation
37:46
for
37:46
David's
37:46
sins
37:47
just
37:48
like
37:48
our
37:48
sins
37:48
we
37:49
look
37:50
back
37:50
to
37:50
Christ
37:51
David
37:51
looked
37:52
forward
37:52
to
37:52
Christ
37:53
and
37:53
the
37:53
forgiveness
37:54
was
37:54
his
37:55
by
37:58
mercy
37:58
to
37:58
provide
37:59
for
37:59
his
37:59
sin
37:59
that's
38:00
why
38:00
David
38:00
was
38:00
forgiven
38:01
so
38:02
the
38:02
Old
38:02
Testament
38:03
forgiveness
38:04
of sin
38:05
the Old
38:05
Testament
38:06
anticipates
38:08
the
38:08
sacrifice
38:09
of
38:09
Christ
38:09
the
38:10
ultimate
38:10
payment
38:10
for
38:11
all
38:11
sin
38:11
so
38:12
in
38:12
God's
38:13
mind
38:13
David's
38:13
sins
38:14
are
38:14
just
38:14
are
38:15
counted
38:15
as
38:15
Christ's
38:15
sins
38:16
and
38:17
Christ's
38:17
righteousness
38:18
is
38:18
counted
38:18
as
38:18
David's
38:19
righteousness
38:19
so
38:20
Jesus
38:21
Christ
38:21
is
38:21
the
38:21
only
38:22
way
38:22
to
38:23
be
38:23
forgiven
38:23
and
38:24
restored
38:24
to
38:25
be
38:25
reconciled
38:26
and
38:26
to
38:26
be
38:26
made
38:26
right
38:26
with
38:27
God
38:27
again
38:27
so
38:29
come
38:29
to
38:29
faith
38:29
in
38:29
him
38:30
so
38:31
if
38:31
you're
38:32
kind
38:32
of
38:32
like
38:32
me
38:33
on
38:33
a lot
38:33
of
38:33
days
38:33
I
38:33
feel
38:34
like
38:34
man
38:34
at
38:34
some
38:34
point
38:35
like
38:36
God's
38:36
just
38:36
going
38:36
to
38:36
have
38:37
enough
38:37
like
38:37
he
38:37
can't
38:38
keep
38:38
forgiving
38:39
me
38:39
of
38:39
this
38:40
right
38:40
I
38:41
know
38:41
you
38:41
can
38:41
feel
38:41
that
38:41
way
38:42
we're
38:42
not
38:42
preaching
38:43
the
38:43
truth
38:43
to
38:44
ourselves
38:44
but
38:44
in
38:45
closing
38:45
last
38:46
thing
38:46
look
38:48
at
38:48
Lamentations
38:49
3
38:49
real
38:49
quick
38:50
we'll
38:52
close
38:53
with
38:53
this
38:53
Lamentations
38:55
3
38:56
verse
39:00
19
39:01
so
39:06
some
39:07
of you
39:07
need to
39:08
come to
39:08
Christ
39:08
for the
39:08
first
39:09
time
39:09
today
39:09
you need
39:10
to
39:10
recognize
39:11
the
39:11
wickedness
39:12
of your
39:12
sin
39:12
that
39:13
you
39:13
can't
39:14
do
39:14
anything
39:14
to
39:15
make
39:15
yourself
39:15
right
39:15
with
39:15
God
39:16
that
39:16
it's
39:17
him
39:17
alone
39:17
that
39:17
you've
39:18
sinned
39:18
against
39:18
and
39:20
ask
39:20
him
39:20
to
39:20
save
39:21
you
39:21
forgive
39:21
you
39:21
and
39:21
transform
39:22
you
39:22
by
39:22
the
39:23
blood
39:23
of
39:23
Jesus
39:24
and
39:25
others
39:25
of
39:25
us
39:25
who
39:26
have
39:26
known
39:26
Christ
39:26
for
39:27
a
39:27
while
39:27
like
39:28
myself
39:29
who
39:29
continue
39:29
on
39:31
occasion
39:31
to fall
39:32
back
39:32
into
39:32
grievous
39:33
sin
39:33
like
39:35
this
39:35
is
39:36
for
39:36
us
39:37
to
39:37
hear
39:37
verse
39:39
19
39:39
remember
39:41
my
39:41
afflictions
39:42
and my
39:42
wanderings
39:43
the
39:43
wormwood
39:43
and the
39:44
gall
39:44
all
39:45
the
39:45
nastiness
39:46
my
39:48
soul
39:48
continually
39:49
remembers
39:49
it
39:49
and is
39:50
bowed
39:51
down
39:51
within
39:51
me
39:52
there's
39:53
your
39:53
sin
39:54
and
39:54
verse
39:55
21
39:55
but
39:56
this
39:57
I
39:57
call
39:57
to
39:58
mind
39:58
and
39:59
therefore
39:59
I
40:00
have
40:00
hope
40:00
the
40:01
steadfast
40:02
love
40:02
of
40:03
Jehovah
40:03
never
40:04
ceases
40:04
his
40:06
mercies
40:06
never
40:06
come
40:07
to an
40:07
end
40:07
they
40:08
are
40:08
new
40:09
every
40:09
morning
40:09
great
40:11
is
40:11
your
40:11
faithfulness
40:12
Jehovah
40:13
is my
40:14
portion
40:14
says
40:15
my
40:15
soul
40:15
therefore
40:16
I
40:16
will
40:17
hope
40:17
in
40:17
him
40:17
Jehovah
40:18
is good
40:19
to those
40:20
who wait
40:20
for him
40:20
and to
40:21
the soul
40:22
who seeks
40:22
him
40:22
let's
40:24
pray together
40:25
here
