CONFESSION OF SIN
[Sinners’ Prayer]
Lord
God, we are sinners. We violate Your commandments every day - in our
thoughts, in our words, and in our actions; in what we have done, and
in what we have failed to do. We deserve death and hell.
Our
God and King, we are sorry for our sins. Please forgive us. We are
trusting in Jesus Your Son. We love His perfect obedience. We love
His perfect sacrifice on the cross. We yield to Him again as our
Lord and Savior.
Thank
You for Your faithful covenant love. Thank You for saving us. Thank
You for making us Your children. Our God and our King, our lives
belong to You. Be near us and lead us, today and forever. In Jesus
Name, Amen.

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.
