II. CALL TO WORSHIP
Reading: Psalm 1
Call: THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD.
Response: THANKS BE TO GOD!
Song: All Creatures Of Our God And King
Song: Lord I Need You
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; We have once again fallen short of your glory
Lord, you are worthy of all our praise, you are deserving of our undying adoration, and our unfailing allegiance. Yet, before your glorious presence, we are undone. Lord we confess that our praise is distorted, our adoration is deviant, and our devotion is debilitated and debased. Oh God, as sparks fly upward we are prone toward trouble, our selfishness and pride burn like a fire, and their flames scorch the beauty of your creation. We are in need of your grace oh God, for our sinfulness is great. We are in need of your mercy oh God, for our hearts are prone to wander.
For this reason we run to your infinite mercy and seek your forgiveness, so in the name of Jesus, oh Lord, 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.
There are no boundaries our King has not crossed to save his people. He is relentless in the pursuit of his bride. He entered into the wilderness of our sin to save us. There are no sins he has not conquered, there are no enemies he has not crushed, there are no walls he has not destroyed, and there are no chains that can keep the bride from the Victorious King. He has entered into the enemy’s land to wage war on Satan; he has not only saved his people from sin, but also from the dark and evil forces of evil. Even death itself cannot separate us from the love of God! He has entered into the realm of the dead, into Sheol, and has reversed the curse of death by bringing life from the grave! Church, King Jesus is victorious over everything that would keep you away from the throne of his grace.
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!
