2 Corinthians

• 33:08Psalms 51

  …your life to Christ, as we prepare to, to take the body that was broken for us and drink, remember it's the blood that was shed for us. Would you spend some time in godly, God-willed confession? I think it looks like Psalm 51, where David said, God, against you and you alone, I have sinned. So I'm going to ask you before we come

Kings and Kingdoms

• 34:40Psalms 51

  David fell spiritually in tremendous ways. But when he fell, he fell towards God, not away from God. He fell on his knees. Psalm 51, where David has sinned, he said, Lord, against you and you only have I sinned. It's as if when David fell, he fell on his knees before God, not away. And may we do the same.

• 24:48Psalms 51

  And Psalm 51 reminds us, it's the soil of a broken and contrite spirit where faith grows. So if you think you're somebody, it's not until you realize you're nobody that God can do work in somebody's life. We need this faith. And so I read this and I wonder, what did it take for this man to become honest with the Lord?

When in Romans

• 15:30Psalms 51

  And I tend to believe the Bible points that we are rotten to the core. Psalm 51 says, Lord, we are conceived in sin. And because you are spiritually dead, you express your spiritual deadness by your sinful actions. In this way, death spread to all people. There is an apocryphal book called To…

Who's Your King

• 35:27Psalms 51

  is the first beginning of good works. The confession of our evil sin is the beginning of our good works. If you read Psalm 32, Psalm 32 is a personal diary recap of David about this. Psalm 51 is written in the moment, about the moment that David heard from Nathan that he was the man. But Psalm 32 in verse 5 says this, this is David again speaking,

• 38:47Psalms 51

  Why would I write about again something that grace washed away? I don't know about you, but I want my life written by grace. That is what we need. Psalm 51 says this way, Be gracious to me, O God, according to your faithful love, according to your abundant compassion, blot out my rebellion completely, completely wash away my guilt and cleanse me from sin. The sacrifice, pleasing to God, you will not despise

Who's Your King

• 36:11Psalms 51

  David who had a front row seat to all of this wrote a hymn an ancient poem in Psalm 51 and David said this he said God create a clean heart to me renew a steadfast spirit within me do not banish me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me

Who's Your King

• 32:44Psalms 51

  that. So he pointed his finger at Samuel who was late in Saul's words. Samuel clearly wasn't accepting that. And then he finally said, look at the Philistines. You go fight him. God will not accept our excuses for sin. In Psalm 51, there was a man the Bible describes after God's own heart. A man named David. And after

• 33:01Psalms 51

  after one of the greatest sins in his life. And the consequence for that sin is that his child would die. Psalm 51 describes it. David goes to the throne of God and says against you and you alone I have sinned and done this evil in your sight. So God you are right when you pass sentence. Forgiveness for sin is a

• 27:13Psalms 51

  I don't want to bore you too much. So, I'm going to ask you to listen. If you're not in Christ today. If you're not in Christ today. I want to read the song. I want to read the song that helps you. Psalms 51 reads. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your loving kindness. According to your multitude of tender mercies.

Psalms

• 2:26Psalms 51

  But we're looking at eight different genres or types of psalms. So, we looked at the psalm of confession last week, Psalm 51. And today, we're going to look at a psalm of royalty, a kingly psalm. And if we're not careful, and occasionally, the scriptures can feel distant from our modern framework. This typically happens, I find, when the context of a scripture passage is maybe removed from your practice in life.

Psalms

• 1:13Psalms 51

  I'm excited because your cooperating churches commissioned over 50 missionaries to bring the gospel throughout the entire world at the Southern Baptist Convention. And for me, there is no greater joy than to see lives changed for the gospel. Today, we will take a look at another psalm. This psalm is Psalm 51. It's the fourth of the so-called penitential psalms, which is a confession of faith and a distance from personal sin.

• 6:38Psalms 51

  And he penned the words that we read in Psalm 51. So if you had your Bibles open, and I hope you do, join me in the reading of God's word in Psalm 51. Be gracious to me, God, according to your faithful love, according to your abundant compassion. Blot out my rebellion. Completely wash away my guilt. Cleanse me from my sin.

Ruth

• 59:18Psalms 51

  …swollen with grief. They grow old because of my enemies. It seems here that in David's darkest days, he is remembering that God made a covenant. That God made a promise. And David is clinging to that promise. Look at Psalm 51. After David commits a grievous sin, David writes, be gracious to me, God, according to your faithful love.

Troubled Heart

• 39:04Psalms 51

  Because it's been paid. Our sins are forgiven. Jephthah is also a picture of man-made religion. Anytime you come to worship your way, it always leads to hurt. David says that in the Psalms. He says, God, I would offer you something, but there's nothing that I can offer you that you would accept. And then David says this, Psalm 51. The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit.

UNDEFEATED

• 27:29Psalms 51

  And she says, "It is because of your kindness towards me." It's the word hesed. It's a word that means mercy and loving kindness. It's the same word in Psalm 51 when David has sinned with Bathsheba. David, the great, great, great grandson of Rahab, would one day pen these words. "God, be gracious to me.

Isaiah

• 8:18Psalms 51

  David was called a man after God's own heart. And David understood the depths of his own heart, because he understood God's heart. Listen to Psalm 51. David, when he has completely fallen in sin, says, Lord, against you and you alone have I sinned. I have done evil in your sight, so you are just in your sentence, and you are right in your justice.

B2Church

• 24:58Psalms 51

  God, this is a time of distress. And God, I will bow my head and bend my knee. And God, I will take a posture of humility because you are awesome. You are wonderful. You are glorious. And who am I, God, to be in your presence? Posture will determine your response. That's why Psalm 51, verse 7, says that the sacrifices

Leviticus

• 19:36Psalms 51

  …you. It makes you uninhabitable to be with God. Now we're going to end on good news. But your sin and my sin are serious. They are not trite. They are not ignored. Our sin makes us uninhabitable. David cries this in Psalm 51. He sins. And if you don't know the context of Psalm 51, this is after he has committed adultery on his wife with Bathsheba.

• 19:39Psalms 51

  And if you don't know the context of Psalm 51, this is after he has committed adultery on his wife with Bathsheba. She's bathing. And he's not where he should be. He should be at war. He's a king and he's not at war. And he sees someone bathing. And not only does…

Leviticus

• 9:11Psalms 51

  There is no offering in the Old Testament for those who intentionally sin. You know what that person is called? A pagan or dead. Because those who intentionally sin against the will of God. But yet we see in Psalm 51, God saying to David, I want a contrite heart. So there is a way through grace and mercy. The guilt offering was for the guilt of those who unintentionally sin.

• 36:39Psalms 51

  Wipe it away. Psalm 51 says this way, purify me, Lord, and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow. The sacrifice was also in verse five, slaughtered. Slaughtered. Why? As a reminder to God's people that our sin and their sin always leads to death. This is what the New Testament says. The wages of your sin, not my sin, not your parents' sin.

Reformation: 5 statements that form/faith

• 23:10Psalms 51

  The sun to rule by day. Verse 9, the moon and the stars to rule by night. We give thanks to God who is our creator. You see, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. But creation was not the end. Creation was the beginning of God's covenant relationship. But not the totality. And I love what Psalm 51 says about creation. And if you want to go there, I encourage you to Psalm 51 by a man you might have heard of named David.

• 23:14Psalms 51

  And if you want to go there, I encourage you to Psalm 51 by a man you might have heard of named David. David was also a piece of work. Skillfully made. Skillfully, wonderfully redeemed. Look at verse 1 in Psalm 51. Psalm 51, verse 1. Be gracious to me, God, according to your faithful love.

  he goes and he steals and he kills the one sheep from this poor man. And the king rises up and says, how dare this person? He should repay him fourfold. If not, he should be killed. And Nathan says this, you are the man. And from that comes this psalm, Psalm 51. And David reveals his heart to God.

• 21:33Psalms 51

  And David reveals his heart to God. It says, God against you and you only have I sinned. I want you to listen to Psalm 51. I want you to listen to Psalm 51. Because we have to quit hiding if we want salvation. We have to quit hiding if we want deliverance. And we can hide at church. Right? How's your day? Man, it's awesome. Well, I know some of your weeks. It's not awesome. And so we need to quit hiding.

Genesis (Foundations)

• 17:28Psalms 51

  She started laughing and she threw her hands up above her head again, as if to say, tickle me, as if to say, dad, this is, this is a good thing. I enjoy this. Dad, this is acceptable to me. Now, how does the Lord show us then that our worship is acceptable? Well, we have a promise in Psalm 51 that says this. Verse 16, for you do not desire sacrifice or else I would give it. You do not delight in burnt offering.

  And Jesus said, I do not condemn you either. Go from now on and sin no more. I love Psalms 51. And again, the Message Bible has such a beautiful portrait. The painting of the Message Bible in this particular passage just is so beautiful. The narrative is gorgeous. Listen to what Psalms 51, verse 1 through 3, 7 through 12, and then verse 15.

• 26:01Psalms 51

  Listen to what Psalms 51, verse 1 through 3, 7 through 12, and then verse 15. Listen as I read it. Generous in love. God, give grace. Huge in mercy. Wipe out my bad record. Scrub away my guilt. Soak out my sins in your laundry. I know how bad I've been. My sins are staring me down. Soak me in your laundry, and I'll come out clean. Scrub me, and I will have a snow-white life.

  …blessed are those who mourn they shall be comforted. By the way Nehemiah's name means the Lord comforts. By the way he's breaking a man so he could use this man in a larger scale in that city in a miraculous way. Psalm 51 17 the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit a broken and contrite heart. These oh God you will not despise. The bottom line however is this bitterness is always always always more costly than
