Restoring Joy After Bone-Breaking Sin

King David committed adultery (and sexual harassment by abusing his power) with the wife of a trusted friend; then tried to cover it up by murdering his friend; and only after being found out did he even confess his sin.
Psalm 51 is his prayer of confession.
Perhaps you have made a royal mess of things like King David did — maybe destroying your reputation (at least with family or friends), or privately destroying your fellowship with God and bruising your conscience with bone-crushing force.
David’s genuine prayer of confession reminds us that true faith can sometimes falter in jaw-dropping ways, but also returns in sin-confessing, joy-restoring repentance.
Join Justin Huffman in this exposition of Psalm 51, showing us what true faith’s confession looks like.
