Individual Call: Psalm 139:23-24

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:
God, we come before you as men and women, boys and girls, with the stains of sin upon our feet. We are stained with sins of our past and the sins of our present. The Accuser screams in our ears that we are unworthy of grace and that we are outside the reach of your love. We seek to quiet the voices by turning ourselves over to their demands. Our sins are ever before us and our need for a savior is clearly seen. We need our sin stained feet washed and cleansed by the hands of our high priest and king. So standing on the promises of your Holy Word, we come to you, So receive us now as we come to the storehouses of your mercy seeking your forgiveness. So now in the name of Jesus Christ, Our 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 washed you and cleansed you of all your sins.

Beloved, the gospel announces into all eternity that Jesus Christ has once and for all defeated death and sin. He was crucified, buried, and was raised on the third day. He then ascended to the right hand of the Ancient of Days and now he rules and reigns in glory. And this great king now brings many sons to glory.

He has taken you from objects of wrath and has transformed you into objects of his love and affection. Yes, Church, Jesus has washed you and cleansed you; he lavished his astonishing grace upon you, For you are united to Christ, and thus a child of the King.

So Church, hear these words, by the great and powerful and glorious name of Jesus I declare to you, your sins are forgiven!

Response: Thanks be to God!

Song: Great I Am
