CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
All: Our gracious God in heaven: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we bless your name today as the only true God of heaven and earth. You created all things, and you created man in your image to worship you. Yet, we fall very short of your glory and commands due to our sin. Through Christ, you have restored us by redeeming us by the blood of your Son. We no longer walk in darkness, but we walk according to your glorious light. Yet, we still sin, and it grieves us. We do not love you with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We do not love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Forgive us and cleanse us according to your promise and the work of your dear Son, who is our Lord and Savior in whose name we pray. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
1 Peter 1:22-25
Minister: Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for
“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
All: Amen.
