How to Be a Godly Sinner

Oct 5, 2025
Explore the depths of Psalm 32 and David's journey from sin to confession. Discover the paradox of being a 'godly sinner'—it’s about how we respond to sin, not about achieving perfection. Learn why it’s crucial to approach God in moments of failure, finding refuge in His forgiveness. Reflect on three marks of a godly response: feeling your sin, owning it, and turning past losses into lessons. Ultimately, it's an invitation to come to God as you are, embracing repentance and transformation.
