WORSHIP THRU CONFESSION & PRAISE


CONFESSION

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9

TIME FOR SELF-EXAMINATION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in
thought, word, and deed. We have not loved you with our
whole heart and mind and strength; we have not loved our
neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have
been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall
be, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

FORGIVENESS

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, has had mercy upon you, has given his only Son to die for you, and for his sake forgives you all your sins. To whoever believes in Jesus Christ, he gives the power to become the children of God and bestows on them the Holy Spirit.
Amen
