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 fear, anger, doubt and anxiety have found a home in our lives.  Lord, we confess that our faith and hope in your promises are weak. God, let us not doubt your strength and faithfulness, for you are the Anchor of our souls.

To our shame, The lies of this world have consumed our thoughts and affections. Like the fool of ancient days, we have neglected your word and have leaned on our own understanding.

So we run for refuge to your infinite mercy, seeking your forgiveness and restoring grace. So 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 interceded on your behalf.

Beloved, though we have fallen short time and time again, though confusion and doubt have haunted your thoughts, and fear and anger have plagued your hearts. Be reminded of who it is you serve.  
You serve the immovable and unshakeable God who is faithful in the storms. You serve the King of kings and Lord of lords who has entered into the tempest of your doubt and has commanded the winds and waves to cease!
He is the light that shines through the darkness. He is your peace in the chaos of your doubt.
Church, Christ has not abandoned you. He has come to you, he has atoned for you, he sings songs over you, and laughs in the face of the fears that possess your soul.

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

Response: Thanks be to God!

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.

YOU ARE SENT!
