Psalm 30 My Mourning Is Turned Into Dancing

October 05, 2025

John Owen Butler

This sermon on Psalm 30, “From the Pit to Praise — A Life Rededicated,” explores how God turns His people’s mourning into dancing and their weeping into joy. David’s song of deliverance becomes a model of repentance, restoration, and rededication to God’s glory. Through Christ—who entered the pit of death and rose again—we see the gospel pattern of chastening turned to joy, discipline to praise, and death to resurrection life. A powerful message of grace, renewal, and thanksgiving for every believer who has been lifted up by God’s mercy.
