Psalm 138:7 NKJV
Welcome Pastoral Prayer Memory Verse
Kid’s Talk Pastor Blake Flinchum
Praise & Worship Pastor Jonathan Hendrickson
Flawless
Verse 1
There's got to be more
Than going back and forth
From doing right to doing wrong
'Cause we were taught that's who we are
Come on get in line right behind me
You along with everybody
Thinking there's worth in what you do
Pre-Chorus
Then like a hero who takes the stage when
We're on the edge of our seats saying it's too late
Let me introduce you to amazing grace
Chorus
No matter the bumps no matter the bruises
No matter the scars still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
No matter the hurt or how deep the wound is
No matter the pain still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
Verse 2
Could it possibly be
That we simply can't believe
That this unconditional
Kind of love would be enough
To take a filthy wretch like this
And wrap him up in righteousness
But that's exactly what He did
Bridge
Take a breath smile and say
Right here right now I'm ok because
The cross was enough
CCLI Song # 7020472
His Mercy Is More
Verse 1
What love could remember no wrongs we have done
Omniscient all knowing He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
Verse 2
What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father so tender is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest the vilest the poor
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
Verse 3
What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment His life was the cost
We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
Chorus
Praise the Lord His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness new every morn
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
CCLI Song # 7065053
Redeemed
Verse 1
Seems like all I could see was the struggle
Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past
Bound up in shackles of all my failures
Wond'ring how long is this gonna last
Then You look at this pris'ner and say to me
Son stop fighting a fight that's already been won
Chorus
I am redeemed You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
And wipe away ev'ry stain
Now ('Cause) I'm not who I used to be
(I am redeemed)
Verse 2
All my life I have been called unworthy
Named by the voice of my shame and regret
But when I hear You whisper child lift up your head
I remember O God You're not done with me yet
Bridge
Because I don't have to be the old man inside of me
'Cause his day is long dead and gone
Because I've got a new name a new life
I'm not the same and a hope that will carry me home
Ending
O God I'm not who I used to be
Jesus I'm not who I used to be
I am redeemed
Thank God redeemed

Sermon
"The Second Chance or Renewal and Restoration"
Senior Pastor Rev. Jeff McCarthy
51 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.
16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.
Psalms 51: 10 – 13; 16 – 17 NKJV
Intro: Psalm 51 is a great psalm of personal repentance and confession. It is also a great psalm of personal renewal and restoration. The first part of the psalm deals with the first steps of a personal revival that begins with repentance and confession. Repentance and confession provide a clean slate. Once the slate is clean, what is next?
The second part of Psalm 51 provides the answer to that question. Once David repented and confessed, he placed his sins in God’s hands. These sins are in the past and have been erased, now what? Now he needs a second chance to live a godly life. This comes by way of renewal and restoration.
David turned to God to be renewed and restored. This renewal includes a “clean heart” and a “right spirit.” He also asks God to restore “the joy of Your salvation” and asks to be used by Him to “teach transgressors Your ways.” David also realizes the sacrifices that God desires “are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart.”
Today we will look at the second part of Psalm 51 and at this second chance God provides for us: “The Second Chance of Renewal and Restoration.”
1. For a Second Chance, We Turn to God for Renewal (10; 16-17)
It is Inner Renewal “Create in me a clean heart”
It is Spiritual Renewal “Renew a steadfast spirit within me”
It leads to True Worship “You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it… the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart”
Psalms 51:16-17 The Message
Romans 12: 1-2 NIV
2. For a Second Chance, We Turn to God for Restoration (11-13)
He Restores Our Fellowship “Do not cast me away from Your presence”
He Restores Our Joy “Restore to me the joy of your salvation”
He Restores Our Influence “the I will teach transgressors Your ways”
He Restores Our Witness “sinners will be converted to You.”
Rev. 2:4-5 NKJV
Invitation
Mercy
Verse 1
I will kneel in the dust at the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me
Where the wrath I deserve it is gone it has passed
Your blood has hidden me
Chorus 1
Mercy mercy as endless as the sea
I'll sing Your hallelujah for all eternity
Verse 2
We will lift up the cup and the bread we will break
Remembering Your love
We were fallen from grace but You took all our shame
And nailed it to a cross
Chorus 2
May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of Your mercy
May I sing Your hallelujah hallelujah
Amen
(REPEAT)
Ending
I will kneel in the dust at the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me
