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:


This is the message we have heard from God

and proclaim to you,

that God is light and in God there is no darkness at all.

If we walk in the light, as God is in the light,

we have fellowship with one another,

and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

—from 1 John 1:5, 7, NRSV


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

Pastoral Prayer followed by the Lord’s Prayer

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.

Affirmation of Faith

Westminster Shorter Catechism Question 107


Q. What does the conclusion of the Lord’s prayer teach us?


A. The conclusion of the Lord’s prayer, which is, “For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.” teaches us to take our encouragement in prayer only from God, and in our prayers to praise him, ascribing kingdom, power and glory to him. And in testimony of our desire and our assurance of being heard, we say Amen.
