Confession and Pardon
-Invitation
-Unison Confession:
Let us confess our sin before God and one another.
Gracious Father,
With heartfelt sorrow,
we confess that we have sinned against You
in thought, word, and deed.
Grant us grace to walk in your commands
and guard us from the work of the evil one.
When we are tempted to pride,
show us your humility.
When we are tempted to self-righteousness,
show us your true righteousness.
When we are tempted to anger,
show us your kindness.
When we are tempted to believe Satan’s lies,
show us your truth.
When we are overwhelmed with brokenness,
show us your shalom. Amen.
-Silent prayer
-Assurance of Pardon:
Hear the good news:
This saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
He himself bore our sins
in his body on the cross,
that we might be dead to sin,
and alive to all that is good.
I declare to you in the name of Jesus Christ,
you are forgiven.
Thanks be to God.
—based on 1 Timothy 1:15; 1 Peter 2:24

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

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 effectual calling?
A. Effectual calling is the work of God’s Spirit by which, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he persuades and enables us to embrace Jesus Christ, freely offered to us in the Gospel.
