Introduction
Lent is not about self-improvement; it is about divine transformation. We are in need of divine transformation.
Fallen Condition Focus: We are prone to live on the surface level with God. But our sin goes much deeper than individual acts. Sin is like a disease that impacts the very core of our self. We are in need of an inner transformation.
Sermon Proposition: Since God shows abundant mercy to repentant sinners, let us come to him through Christ and seek his mercy for transformation

I. David's confession of his sin (Ps. 51:1-6)

II. David's cry for transformation (Ps. 51:7-12)

III. David's commitment to live rightly (Ps. 51:13-19)

So What?
Our pursuit of inner transformation - "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me" Ps. 51:10
