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.
