The Joy of Being Forgiven [Psalm 32:1-11]

December 21, 2025

 Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 12/21/2025

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Wisdom and Worship: Walking Through Psalms and Proverbs

Key Text: Psalm 32

Description:

Guilt weighs heavy…
silence corrodes the soul…
and hidden sin steals our joy.

What happens when the heart comes clean before God?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
in our Wisdom and Worship study,
Pastor Monty Simao takes us to Psalm 32 —
a psalm that traces the pain of unconfessed sin
and the joy that comes when guilt is lifted.

“How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!”

Here we discover that forgiveness is not denial,
but deliverance —
and that true joy is found in honest repentance.

SBC logo 204x204In this season of Advent,
we remember that the child born in Bethlehem
came not just to comfort sinners,
but to cleanse them — fully and forever.

Because the greatest joy
is knowing we are forgiven.
