Reading of the Law of God
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season
we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do
good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians
6.9-10
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we hear Your call to persevere in doing good. And
yet, we have to admit that we, at times, give in to the weariness and stop. We
give up when it gets too hard. This is disobedience. This is sin. We ask that
You would forgive us this sin. We ask that You would give us the ability to
continue to do what is good to others, even when it gets hard. We ask that You
would remind us that there will be a time of reaping, if we do not give up. We
ask this through our faithful Savior, Jesus. Amen.
Declaration of Pardon
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned - every
one - to his own way; and the Lord
has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53.6
