Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed

and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

THE LAW OF GOD – The First
Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN [Adapted from
CRC Book of Praise]
O eternal God and merciful Father, we
humble ourselves before your great majesty, against which we have
frequently and grievously sinned. We acknowledge that we deserve
nothing less than eternal death, that we are unclean before you and
children of wrath. We continually transgress your commandments,
failing to do what you have commanded, and doing that which you have
expressly forbidden. We acknowledge our waywardness, and are
heartily sorry for all our sins. We are not worthy to be called your
children, nor to lift up our eyes heavenward to you in prayer.
Nevertheless, O Lord God and gracious Father, we know that your mercy
toward those who turn to you is infinite; and so we take courage to
call upon you, trusting in our Mediator Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
who takes away the sin of the world. Forgive all our sins for
Christ’s sake. Cover us with his innocence and righteousness, for
the glory of your name. Deliver our understanding from all blindness,
and our hearts from all willfulness and rebellion, we pray through
Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.

32:1]

is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

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.

and Awesome Is the Place
