Why does joy fade in the Christian life—and how does God restore it?

In this sermon from Psalm 32, we explore the surprising connection between joy and honesty before God. David shows us that joy isn’t lost because the gospel stops being true, but because we drift into silence—hiding, managing, and carrying burdens we were never meant to bear. Through confession, God lifts the weight of guilt, restores relationship, and teaches us how to live freely again. This message invites you out of hiding and into the deep, resilient joy that comes from being fully known and fully forgiven in Christ.
