“Create in me a clean heart”

FIRST15
About this episode

As we wrap up our week looking at what it means to turn away from sin and toward God, today we’re going to look at the depth of God’s love and mercy. Few stories of sin and failure are more dramatic than David’s. Yet David also understood the cleansing power of the grace of God. I pray that you too will experience the depth of his love and grace today as we spend time in his presence. 

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 51:1, and today's worship is Clean by Natalie Grant.
