~WORSHIP IN CONFESSION~

SCRIPTURE LESSON Matthew 8
Mr. Chris Turner, Ruling Elder
Jesus demonstrates His Messianic identity as He heals the sick, calms a storm, casts out demons, and commands, “Follow me” (v. 22).

CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
All: Our Father, we thank you that you have redeemed us and rescued us from the miseries of this life. By faith alone, we have come to trust and rely on you. Yet, as creatures of dust, there are times when the events of this life cause us to worry and fear. We confess that we easily forget what you promised your adopted children: that you will never leave or forsake us. Forgive our weak faith. Please grant us an extra measure of your Spirit to overcome our doubts we pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Romans 5:1

Minister:
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
