Reading of the Law of God
Do not quench the Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5.19
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we fail to honor Your Spirit. We so easily doubt
that He can do anything significantly new in our lives or in the lives of
others. In this we quench the Spirit and hinder His ministry among us. Because
of this, there is much good that could happen that doesn’t. Forgive us our sin.
Change us so that we might expect great things from Your Spirit’s work in our
midst. We pray through Jesus, our faithful Savior. Amen.
Declaration of Pardon
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that
you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours
only but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2.1-2
