THE LAW OF GOD – The Fourth Commandment

CONFESSION OF SIN [Adapted from Matthew Henry]

We have sinned against you, O Lord, our Maker, our Defender, and our Redeemer. Our natures are corrupt and sinful; prone to fall away from you, sluggish to do good and swift to do evil. Vain thoughts have come upon us and found lodging within us, defiling and disquieting our minds, and keeping out good thoughts. We have burdened ourselves with that care which you have commanded us to cast upon you. We have failed in our duties one to another, and have provoked one another as much to folly and anger as to love and good works. We have been cold in our love to you, weak in our desires toward you, unsteady in our walking with you, and are even at this time poorly prepared to serve you. We beseech you--Forgive all our sins, for Christ’s sake, and be at peace with us in Him Who died to make peace and lives to make intercession for us. Amen.

DECLARATION OF PARDON [Ezekiel 36:27]

And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

*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.

THE LAW OF GOD – The Third Commandment

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.

DECLARATION OF PARDON [Ezekiel 36:26]

And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH 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.

  Psalm 118:24 

*CALL TO WORSHIP:   Romans 11:33-36     

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!   "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"   "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?"   For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

THE LAW OF GOD – The Second Commandment 

CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon Romans 1 and Romans 5] 

Our great and everlasting God, Whose eternal power and divine nature have been seen through the things You have made; we acknowledge that we are without excuse.  For although we have known You, we have not honored you as God nor given you thanks, but we have become futile in our thinking; and our senseless minds have been darkened.  Claiming to be wise, we have become fools.  We have been filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, covetousness, and malice.  Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and craftiness, we are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, rebellious toward parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.  Yet we do also heartily acknowledge, that when we were weak, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly.  We most joyfully confess that You have proven your love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Forgive our sins, we pray, through Him who was handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.  Amen. 

DECLARATION OF PARDON [Isaiah 1:18] 

Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH The Apostles' Creed, # 845 

 I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. 

 I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary.  He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell.  The third day he rose again from the dead.  He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.  From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. 

 I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.  Amen. 

(The word “catholic” means “throughout the world.”)
