 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.

We are in need of your infinite grace, for we have sinned and have fallen short of your glory. Our hearts have strayed, our minds have wandered, and our flesh desires that which you despise.  

Lord, our sins are ever before us and for this reason we run to your infinite mercy seeking your forgiveness. In the name of Jesus our Redeemer, hear our cry.

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 ascended King, has achieved all there is to accomplish to fully forgive and restore you who have fallen into sin.

Beloved, upon the cross Jesus the Christ has borne your sins, he has freed you from your guilt, and he has cleansed you from your shame. Through his resurrection he has bestowed you life, and now the ascended Christ, the one who rules and reigns from the heavenly throne, the one who has shut the mouth of every accusing scream, the one who will receive the nations as his inheritance, the great I AM, This King has drenched you in his love, grace and mercy, and this day you stand before him forgiven.

So lift up your hearts and hear these words, by the great and powerful name of Jesus I declare to you that your sins are forgiven!

Response: Thanks be to God!
