Reading of the Law of God
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. Exodus
20.2,3
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we come to You aware that we have not obeyed
Your Law. We have looked to other gods. We have not trusted You alone, nor
submitted to You alone, nor sought refuge in You alone. We have not honored or
served You as You deserve. We have sinned, and we sincerely repent of it. We
ask that You would forgive us. We know that our only hope for this is Jesus, our
faithful Savior, in whose Name alone we offer this prayer. Amen.
Declaration of Pardon
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we
might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer
of your souls. 1 Peter 2.24-25
