Reading of
the Law of God
Remember the Sabbath
day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the
seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your
God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your
male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who
is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh
day. Therefore the Lord blessed the
Sabbath day and made it holy. Exodus 20.8-11
Confession
of Sin
Our Father, we hear Your Law. We know what You require. And yet, all too often, we follow the ways of
the world. We profane the Sabbath. We ask that You would forgive us. We ask that You would teach our hearts the
blessings of obedience to this command. We
ask that You would teach our hearts to submit to You. We ask this only through Jesus, our
Savior. Amen.
Declaration
of Pardon
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8.1
