CALL TO WORSHIP – Psalm 96:1-6
“Oh sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth!
Sing to the LORD, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
(everyone read aloud)
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.”
Let’s stand and sing to the Lord our God!

CONFESSION OF SIN – Martin Bucer
In spite of all the blessings the Lord has bestowed,
All people have still rebelled against God’s law and have neglected to give glory to his name.
As we reflect on our sins of this week, let’s take some time to pray aloud together this corporate confession of sin written by the Reformation pastor Martin Bucer:
(everyone aloud)
“Almighty, everlasting God and Father, we acknowledge and confess that we indeed were conceived and born in sin and, therefore, inclined to all evil and slow to all good; that we unceasingly transgress your holy commandments, and corrupt ourselves more and more. But we are sorry for this and desire your grace and help. Therefore, have mercy upon us, most gracious and merciful God and Father, through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ. Grant to us and increase in us your Holy Spirit, so that we may recognize our sin and unrighteousness from the depth of our heart, feel true contrition and grief for them, die to them completely, and please you wholly in a new, godly life.
Amen.”
ASSURANCE OF PARDON – 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (Theo)
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.”
Through his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus Christ has renewed his people and has reconciled to God everyone who has grasped on to him by faith!
Let’s continue to sing for Christ has saved his people from sin!
