Grace Church

GCYR 2026 - Session 1 - The Happy Man


Listen Later

This sermon presents Psalm 32 as a profound gospel declaration of blessedness rooted in the forgiveness of transgression, the covering of sin, and the non-imputation of iniquity—truths fulfilled in Christ alone. Centered on the contrast between the crushing weight of unconfessed sin and the liberating joy of divine pardon, it emphasizes that true happiness is not found in worldly achievements but in the personal, relational reconciliation with God made possible through Christ's atoning sacrifice. The preacher underscores that this blessing is accessible only to those who come before God with honesty and humility, rejecting self-justification, performance, or pretense, and instead embracing the posture of the repentant tax collector. Drawing on Pauline theology and the New Covenant, the message affirms that forgiveness is not earned but received by faith, and that the Christian life is not a performance but a continual return to the grace that covers, cancels, and restores. Ultimately, the sermon calls every listener to examine their heart, abandon pretense, and find joy in the one who bore their sin and imputed His righteousness in their place.
