and lead me in the way everlasting!
Corporate Call:
Lord, we come humbly before you this morning, laying aside all excuses for our sins. When we are confronted with the brilliance of your holiness, the depths of our depravity are exposed. We openly confess that in the past week, our hearts and minds, our motives and emotions, have been in disarray. Despite our efforts to present a facade of acceptability, our inner being suffers in turmoil. There are hidden corners of our lives where shame, bitterness, resentment, and pride fester. We acknowledge our complete inability to resolve our own brokenness and rebellion; we are totally reliant on your redemptive power. For these reasons we now run for refuge to the storehouses of your mercy, seeking and imploring your forgiveness and deliverance, so in the name of Jesus Christ, our redeemer. Hear our cry.
Response: Father, forgive us.
IV. ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Arise and hear the good news!
Church, your prayers have not fallen on deaf ears, 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 bestowed you life, and now the ascended Christ who rules and reigns from the right hand of the Father has given you his spirit a seal of eternal life. And this is Good news!
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!
