Title: My Sin
Goal: That the hearer would consider how sin is handled.
SIN - Three ways to say the same thing
Psalm 32
David has learned how
David has learned how to
And David has learned what
How NOT to handle sin
1
Never examine your life according to
Never ask how law of God
2
Only share our happy, success stories.
3
Refuse to accept responsibility.
Make excuses.
Minimize.
Effect?
“For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me.” —Psalm 32:3-4
A better way (to handle your sin)
I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord” —Psalm 32:5
1
Definition: “to make it known.”
2 Do
Do not hide.
3
Instead of refusing, making excuses or minimizing
God’s way (of handling your sin)
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity —Psalm 32:1-2
1 God
2 God
3 God

For later family discussion and activity:
1 What does this Psalm tell us about God?
2 What does this Psalm tell us about ourselves?
3 How do you want to apply this Psalm to your life?
4 Say a prayer together (repeat style) that admits your sin and praises God (that he carries off your sin!).
