Invocation

Hymn 81: O Love of God, How Strong and True Jerusalem

Prayer of Confession

Heavenly Father, You are the God of mercy and grace. While we were Your enemies, Christ died for us. Our hearts are filled with gratitude. Yet, O God, we confess our resistance to loving others as You have loved us. We instinctively distance ourselves from difficult people and hard situations. We view time and resources as our own possessions, rather than gifts from You we should share. Holy Spirit, open our eyes to the needs around us. Make us like Jesus, who came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for others. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Romans 10:4

Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
