*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Mark 16:1-8 The Resurrection
[1]
When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James,
and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. [2]
And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen,
they went to the tomb. [3] And they were saying to one another, “Who
will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” [4]
And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was
very large. [5] And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting
on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed.
[6] And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of
Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the
place where they laid him. [7] But go, tell his disciples and Peter
that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just
as he told you.” [8] And they went out and fled from the tomb, for
trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to
anyone, for they were afraid.

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.

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.
