CONFESSION Corporate Confession of Sin Heavenly Father, with full confidence in the promises You have made to Your people through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we come before You this morning in our worship to confess and admit our sin. We realize that apart from the life, death, and resurrection of Christ we would have no hope of salvation, for we daily sin against You in our 2
thoughts, words, and deeds. Forgive us, O Lord, and help us this day to glory in the cross of Christ, through which the crimson stain of our sin has been washed white as snow. Further grant that our love for Jesus would grow day by day and that we would find great joy in walking in fellowship with Him. Thank You for the grace of forgiveness, and the blessed hope of eternal life. All this we ask in the name of Your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Private Confession of Sin Assurance of Pardon
