This sermon lays the groundwork for the series by defining orthopathy through the lens of King David's prayer of repentance. David’s words reveal that the kind of heart God desires isn't a hardened or apathetic one, but a broken and contrite heart. This is the starting point of right feeling—a deep, holy sorrow over sin and a humble recognition of our need for God's grace. This is the posture that God never despises.
If we claim to love God while clinging to the comforts of a self‑satisfied heart, how truly broken and contrite are we, and what would it cost us to let that comfort fall away and stand before God with a spirit that He will never despise?
