III. CONFESSION
Individual Call: Psalm 139:23-24
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
 and lead me in the way everlasting!

Corporate Call:
Lord, we confess that we have grievously sinned against you in word, thought, and deed; Not only in outward transgressions, but also in secret thoughts and desires that we are unable fully to understand, but which are all known to you.

Lord, how swiftly we have rebelled against your grace.  Rather than running from them, we have raced toward the evil desires of the flesh.  Impatience has gripped our hearts.  Envy and greed cling to our affections. Oh Lord, against you and you only have we sinned. Apart from your grace, there is no life, only death. Apart from your presence, there is no joy, only despair. Oh Lord, we are in need of your grace.
 
For this reason, we run for refuge to your infinite mercy, seeking and imploring your forgiveness and deliverance through our Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Response: Father, forgive us.

IV. ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Arise and hear the good news!
Church, your prayers have not failed, for your confession has ascended to the right hand of the Father, where the Great High Priest has now interceded on your behalf.

The Almighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, the risen and ascended Christ has achieved all there is to accomplish to fully forgive and restore you who have fallen into sin.

Beloved, though your sins are great, the grace of God is far greater! For where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more. The grace and mercy of our glorious savior have been poured lavishly upon you. He has redeemed you; he has reconciled you; he has put his Spirit within you as the eternal seal of his love. Because of the cross and the empty grave, we have the eternal hope of glory.

Therefore Church, lift up your hearts and hear these words: By the great and powerful name of Jesus, I declare to you, your sins are forgiven!

Response: Thanks be to God!

Song: "Living Hope"

VIII. BENEDICTION
Romans 8:38-39 – For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

YOU ARE SENT!
