Has the weight of your guilt ever robbed you of peace and joy? In his message Psalm 32: The Joy of Forgiveness, Pastor David Menard unpacks King David’s raw and honest psalm, written after his sin with Bathsheba and the crushing season of hiding his failure. Pastor David explains how King David’s silence and secrecy led to inner decay, sleepless nights, and spiritual emptiness. Yet in Psalm 32, King David reveals the turning point—confession. God did not expose his sin to condemn him but to forgive, heal, and restore his joy. The psalm teaches us that true blessing isn’t found in power, success, or appearances, but in the freedom of being reconciled with God.
This message is an invitation to experience the same freedom King David found. Pastor David shows how the psalm calls us to stop hiding behind excuses, coping mechanisms, or outward religion, and instead come honestly before God. Forgiveness isn’t earned or worked for—it’s one honest prayer away. When we confess, God’s mercy surrounds us, lifting the crushing weight of guilt and filling our lives with peace and joy. Listen in and discover how Psalm 32 points us to Jesus, the One who takes away sin completely, and learn how you too can live in the joy of God’s forgiveness.
