In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples- of
him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.

*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 Tenth Commandment
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.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH 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.
