The sermon centers on the necessity of continual repentance and turning to the Lord, drawing from Psalm 130's cry from the depths of spiritual distress. It emphasizes that sin, even in the life of a believer, brings deep sorrow and separation, as seen in the psalmist's urgent plea and the example of Jonah's descent into the depths. The preacher underscores the reality of human guilt before a holy God, affirming that no one can stand under divine scrutiny, yet highlights the profound hope found in God's forgiveness, which is both promised and freely offered. This forgiveness, however, is not a license for continued sin but a foundation for a life of reverence and fear of God, as seen in Isaiah's transformed response after his sin was cleansed. The sermon calls believers to daily self-examination, honest confession, and a growing sensitivity to sin, especially in preparation for holy communion, so that fellowship with God remains pure and joyful, rooted in grace and sustained by a heart turned fully to Christ.
