But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. And we are confident in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we commanded you. May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.

2 Thessalonians 3:3-5

God is good

-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:

Hear the good news from Isaiah

Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

Isaiah 1:18

I declare to you who trust in Jesus, you are forgiven and free!

 How Deep the Father's Love for Us

        #535 O the Deep, Deep Love of 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.  

-Matthew 6:9-13

I Will Change Your Name/He Who Began a Good Work in You   

Message: Not a Handbag

Westminster Shorter Catechism Question 101

Q. What do we pray for in the first petition?

A. In the first petition, which is, “May your name be hallowed,” we pray that God would enable us and others to glorify him in everything by which he makes himself known, and that he would direct all things to his own glory.
