What Only God Can Do

In this Ash Wednesday message, Pastor Matt walks us through Psalm 51 and the heart of Lent: coming face to face with our own brokenness and inviting God to do what only he can do—create a clean heart within us. Through a powerful testimony and David’s prayer of repentance, we’re reminded that Lent is not about fixing ourselves, but surrendering fully to God’s transforming grace. This teaching calls us to eliminate distractions, practice honest confession, and allow the Holy Spirit to lovingly confront our sin so real healing can begin. As we prepare for Resurrection Sunday, we’re invited into forty days of humility, repentance, and renewal—acknowledging that we cannot save ourselves, but Jesus can.
