Invocation

Hymn 273: Jesus Christ Is Risen Today Llanfair

Prayer of Confession

Our Father, we praise you for the perfect righteousness of Christ, the only hope for sinners like us. Forgive us for not wanting to be more like him, for being content to remain as we are. Save us from being lukewarm or indifferent to your will. Take away our complacency and fill us with the fruit of your Holy Spirit. Keep us from judgmental attitudes and grant that we would be lovers of mercy, kindness, goodness, and truth, we pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Romans 8:33–34

Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Doxology 733 Lasst Uns Erfreuen
