Sermon
Confession
Mercy Hill Church - Cincinnati
Speaker: Troy Nesbitt

Summary
Using Psalm 51 and David's confrontation by the prophet Nathan after his adultery with Bathsheba and murder of Uriah, the sermon teaches that genuine worship and restoration flow from confession and repentance, not performance. The speaker challenges listeners to stop minimizing their own sin and instead pursue the mercy and grace of God through honest acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
Highlights
Sin is like a seed. If you bury it, it will grow. And the deeper you bury it, the bigger the roots will be and the more destruction it will have when it comes out. Sin will find you out.
What pleases God is not our performance, it's our repentance. Not our boasting in good things that we have done, but rather in our humbling of ourselves to things that we need to confess.
I would rather be free in jail than in jail and free.
