A Prayer of Repentance | Harrison Conley

About this sermon

What do you do when sin, guilt, or shame make God feel distant—or leave you wondering if you’re even welcome in His presence? In his message “A Prayer of Repentance,” Pastor Harrison Conley explores Psalm 51, one of the most vulnerable, honest, and raw prayers in the Bible. You’ll discover how this Psalm is a blueprint for how to approach God when you feel like you can’t. And you’ll find out how repentance begins with God’s character, not our worthiness. Find out how you can approach God honestly and let Him restore the joy of your salvation. Listen today!
