Confession and Assurance
READING of GOD’S LAW
Hear God’s Law, His Will for Your Life, from Matthew 5:3-10
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the
children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’
sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
PRAYER of CONFESSION John Calvin
Pastor: Lord, you are our Father
and we are but dust and
ashes; You are our Creator,
and we are the work of
your hands;
People: You are our Shepherd, we
are your flock; You are
our Redeemer, we are the
people that you have
purchased.
Pastor: Therefore, do not be angry
with us to correct us in
your fury. No longer
remember our iniquity to
punish it, but chastise us
gently in your kindness.
Your wrath is kindled
because of our demerits;
All: But remember that your
name has been pronounced
over us and that we bear
your mark and standard.
Continue the work that you
have begun in us by
your grace, that all the earth
might know that you
are our God and our Savior.
Amen.◆
ASSURANCE of PARDON Zeph 3:14-15, Rom 5:1
Receive these words of comfort from God:
Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
The Lord has taken away the judgments against you;
He has cleared away your enemies.
The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
You shall never again fear evil.
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.◆

Breathe on me, breath of God, breathe on me (repeat)

Awake, awake, awake my soul! God resurrect these bones!
From death to life, through you alone—Awake my soul!
Speak to me, Word of God, speak to me (repeat)
I come alive, I’m alive when you speak to me (repeat)

Life of Worship
PROFESSION of FAITH Athanasian Creed, Pt. 1
We worship one God in Trinity and the Trinity in unity, neither confounding their persons nor dividing the essence.
For the person of the Father is a distinct person,
the person of the Son is another,
and that of the Holy Spirit still another.
But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one,
the glory equal, the majesty coeternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son
and such is the Holy Spirit.
The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, the Holy Spirit is uncreated. The Father is immeasurable, the Son is immeasurable, the Holy Spirit is immeasurable. The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, the Holy Spirit is eternal.
And yet there are not three eternal beings; there is but one Eternal Being. So too there are not three uncreated or immeasurable beings; there is but one Uncreated and Immeasurable Being.
Similarly, the Father is almighty, the Son is almighty, the Holy Spirit is almighty. Yet there are not three almighty beings; there is but one Almighty Being.
Thus, the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God. Yet there are not three gods; there is but one God. Thus, the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, the Holy Spirit is Lord. Yet there are not three lords; there is but one Lord.
This is the Christian faith.
