Confession and Pardon

-Invitation

-Unison Confession:


Let us confess our sin before God and one another. 


Almighty God of the prophets, 

you have called us to glorify your name 

through our love for you and for one another.  

We confess that our praise is more on our lips than with our lives.

We profess repentance while we resist change;

We talk of peace while we prepare for war;

We sing of love but we curse our enemies;

We pray your will be done but insist on our way.

Have mercy upon us, tender God, and cleanse and forgive our selfish ways.  

May Jesus Christ, who came long ago, come once more into our lives.  

Help us to be at peace with you, one another, and ourselves 

as members of your kingdom, 

which is now at hand—through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.


-Silent prayer

-Assurance of Pardon:


Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,  rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.


Col. 2:6-8


You are forgiven and free because of Christ Jesus

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, 

and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, 

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Q. What is the sixth essential?
