*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 – “Follow Me”
– Luke 9:23-26
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!”

Heidelberg Catechism Question 1
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.
