Invocation

Hymn 173: Praise Him! Praise Him! Joyful Song

Prayer of Confession

Our gracious Father, you sent your Son to die and rise to new life in order that death might be destroyed and that we might live a new life. Yet we have often chosen our own way rather than your way. We have rebelled against you in thought, word and deed. In doing so, we have grieved you, hurt others, and damaged ourselves. Forgive our sin for Jesus’ sake, and grant that we may walk in the ways of love and holiness to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Titus 3:4–7

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Doxology 733 Lasst Uns Erfreuen
