Summary

When you know you’ve screwed up, when you know you’ve failed, how do you get up again in such a way that you have more joy and power than before? There’s a secret basis of confession: it’s a secret only because most of us don’t know about it. And it’s a crucial missing piece in most people’s thinking. Let’s look at what Psalm 32 says about 1) the need for confession, 2) the way of confession, and 3) the secret basis of confession. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 12, 2002. Series: Psalms: Disciples of Grace. Scripture: Psalm 32:1-11. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
