THE LAW OF GOD – The 2nd Great Commandment [Mt 22:39]
CONFESSION OF SIN
[Based upon The Book of Common Worship, second order]
Almighty and most merciful Father; We have erred and strayed from Your
ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of
our own hearts. We have offended against Your holy laws. We have left
undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done
those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare those, O God, who
confess their sins. Restore those who are penitent; According to Your
promises declared to us in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful
Father, for His sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and
sober life; To the glory of Your holy name. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [1 John 1:9]
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his
Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God,
begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all
things were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from
heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was
made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered
and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and
he shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead; whose
kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds
from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is
worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one
holy catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the
remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life
of the world to come. Amen.

CONFESSION OF SIN [Adapted from Calvin’s Form of Church Prayers]
Eternal and Almighty Father, we acknowledge and confess before your holy
majesty, that we are poor sinners; conceived and born in guilt and in
corruption, prone to evil, unable of ourselves to do any good; who, because
of our depravity, transgress without end your holy commandments.
Therefore we have drawn upon ourselves, by your just sentence,
condemnation and death. But, O Lord, with heartfelt sorrow we repent and
deplore our offenses! We condemn ourselves and our evil ways, with true
penitence beseeching that your grace may relieve our distress. Be pleased
then to have compassion upon us, O most gracious God, Father of all
mercies, for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. And, in removing
our guilt and our pollution, grant us the daily increase of the grace of your
Holy Spirit; that, acknowledging from our inmost hearts our own
unrighteousness, we may be touched with sorrow that shall work true
repentance; and that your Spirit, mortifying all sin within us, may produce
the fruits of holiness and righteousness well-pleasing in your sight; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

CONFESSION OF SIN Father God, Your ways are holy, perfect, and
altogether righteous. But we have denied You by our thoughts, words, and
actions. We have had unclean hearts. We have not loved You as we should.
We have sought to justify ourselves in the sight of men, but have not sought
Your face. We have not had a right and appropriate fear of You. And our
love for You has been weak.
Please be our helper as we come to You this morning. We come as a
community of faith that You have called together for such a time as this.
We come in the perfect righteousness of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We come
with boldness in Him. We come to You now with both fear and love - with
that fear of You which is the beginning of wisdom - and with true love for
You, because You first loved us. We repent of all known sin, and trust in
Your unfailing love for Your children, In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Romans 8:12-15]
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the
flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit
you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by
the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of
slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as
sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon Deuteronomy 6 and Hebrews 7]
O great and everlasting God, Who dwells in unapproachable light, Who
searches and knows the thoughts and intentions of the heart; we confess
that we have not loved you with all our heart, nor with all our soul, nor with
all our mind, nor with all our strength; nor our neighbors as ourselves. We
have loved what we ought not to have loved; we have coveted what is not
ours; we have not been content with Your provisions for us. We have
complained in our hearts about our family, about our friends, about our
health, about our occupations, about Your church, and about our trials. We
have sought our security in those things which perish, rather than in You,
the Everlasting God. Chasten, cleanse, and forgive us, through Jesus Christ,
who is able for all time to save us who approach You through him, since he
always lives to make intercession for us. In Jesus Name. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Colossians 2:13-14]
And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our
trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its
legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

complained in our hearts about our family, about our friends, about our
health, about our occupations, about Your church, and about our trials. We
have sought our security in those things which perish, rather than in You,
the Everlasting God. Chasten, cleanse, and forgive us, through Jesus Christ,
who is able for all time to save us who approach You through him, since he
always lives to make intercession for us. In Jesus Name. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Colossians 2:13-14]
And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our
trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its
legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

Q: What is your only comfort in life and death?
A: That I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in
death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with
His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil. He
also preserves me in such a way that without the will of my heavenly Father
not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all things must work together for
my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life
and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.

*CALL TO WORSHIP: Matthew 1:18-21
*OPENING HYMN: (#194) O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
PRAYER OF ADORATION AND INVOCATION
*THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not
into temptation. But deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
*GLORIA PATRI (#735)
THE LAW OF GOD – The Ninth Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon Romans 3]
Our great and glorious God, You who know and judge the secrets of every
human heart; We do acknowledge and confess that we have followed our
father Adam in revolting against your commandments. We have turned
from your ways and from your blessed Presence, and have reaped the
misery of turning away from You, the very Author of life. None of us is
righteous, no not one; None of us has understanding, none of us seeks God;
Our throats are opened graves; we use our tongues to deceive; Our mouths
are full of cursing and bitterness; Our feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and
misery are in our paths, and the way of peace we have not known; There is
no fear of God before our eyes. We appeal to you, through your great
mercy made manifest in Jesus Christ Your obedient Son, that you would
forgive our sins for His sake; That you would make many righteous through
His one act of obedience; That where our sin has increased, Your grace
would abound. Just as Christ was raised from the dead by your glory, so
also may we walk in newness of life. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Isaiah 55:7]
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of
all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his
Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God,
begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all
things were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from
heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was
made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered
and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and
he shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead; whose
kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds
from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is
worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one
holy catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the
remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life
of the world to come. Amen.
