SERMON SERIES

Blueprint

Built on Jesus

Every life is being built on something. In Blueprint, we are returning to the foundation of the church with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone.

“Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.”
– Ephesians 2:20

This series is designed to give clarity to everyday believers. Not just what the church believes, but how the church works, why it exists, and how we faithfully belong to it. Each week focuses on a foundational truth that every follower of Jesus needs to understand.

More on Psalms 32

David — reflecting on his own failure, confession, and the joy of God’s forgiveness (set in the Bathsheba/Uriah context; see 2 Sam 11–12). Our commentary notes Psalm 32 was likely written after Psalm 51, following reflection.

Psalm 32 was likely written in the latter part of David’s reign, after his confrontation by Nathan (2 Samuel 12), following his confession in Psalm 51, and after a time of reflection. It stands as David’s testimony to the joy of forgiveness, written some time after the Bathsheba/Uriah incident (c. 1000–970 BC).

Used historically as one of the penitential psalms; early church tied it to baptismal instruction; Reformers emphasized it for justification by faith—picked up by Paul in Romans 4:6–9.

Psalm 32 matters because it shows us the real cost of hiding sin and the deep joy of experiencing God’s forgiveness. Written by David after his darkest failure and eventual confession, the psalm reminds us that silence and secrecy drain the soul, while confession restores life. It shifts our view from God as an accuser to God as a refuge—our hiding place who surrounds us with songs of deliverance. Historically, the church has turned to this psalm as one of the great penitential prayers, teaching believers that forgiveness is not earned by works but received by grace, a truth Paul reinforces in Romans 4. For us today, Psalm 32 holds out a promise: we don’t have to stay buried in shame, because God offers full pardon, loving protection, and renewed joy to all who trust Him.
