Sermon by Dean Romprey

Psalm 51:1-6

  1. The conext of Psalm 51
    1. It is one of seven Psalms of confession (6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143)
    2. This Psalm was written by David
      1. What happened?
      2. Who was involved?
      3. Why did David write this Psalm?
  2. Prayer for individual restoration (vss. 1-2)
    1. When in desperate need of forgiveness, all a sinner can do is seek God’s mercy. The Psalmist seeks the Lord’s love and compassion.
    2. Mercy is an act of God’s grace. The ritual washings and Old Testament sacrifices symbolize the removal of sin and the renewal of fellowship with God.
  3. Confession and Contrition
    1. The Psalmist open his heart to God and acknowledges his sin. David is fully aware of his condition before God. He has a contrite heart.
    2. David admits that he did wrong and he admits that he is in need of God.

Conclusion: The Gospel is shown here in Psalm 51 . . . . How do we apply this gospel to our own lives?
