~WORSHIP IN CONFESSION~

SCRIPTURE LESSON Matthew 20 Mr. David Matzen, Ruling Elder
Jesus teaches the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard, predicts His death and resurrection for a third time, and identifies true greatness.

CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN

All:
Lord, you are our Father and we are but dust and filth;
you are our Creator, and we are the work of your hands;
you are our Shepherd, we are your flock;
you are our Redeemer, we are the people that you have purchased;
you are our God, we are your inheritance.
Therefore, do not be angry with us to correct us in your fury.
No longer remember our iniquity to punish it,
but chastise us gently in your kindness.
Your wrath is kindled because of our demerits;
but remember that your name has been pronounced over us
and that we bear your mark and standard.
And continue, rather, the work that you have begun in us by your grace,
that all the earth might know that you are our God and our Savior. Amen. (John Calvin)

ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Isaiah 40:1-2

Minister:
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and cry to her
that her warfare is ended,
that her iniquity is pardoned,
that she has received from the Lord's hand
double for all her sins.
All: Amen.
