Invocation

Hymn 300: Blessing and Honor and Glory and Power O Quanta Qualia

Prayer of Confession

Merciful God and Father, thank You that we can boldly approach the throne of grace through Christ our Mediator. We come seeking Your forgiveness, for we have grievously sinned against You and Your commandments. We view our own sins too lightly, and they scarcely bother us. We have not considered them offences against Your infinitely holy Person. If they cost Your dear Son’s blood to forgive, O how great our transgression! Yet we view others’ sins too strongly; we are slow to forgive as we have been forgiven by You. If You have freely given Christ for us, how freely should we forgive! Holy Spirit, help us in our weakness, and conform us day by day unto the likeness of our Savior Jesus. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Isaiah 1:18

Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
