Call to Worship

Invocation

Hymn 111: This Is My Father's World Terra Beata

Prayer of Confession

Our God and Father, You see our deeds, but You also know every motive of our hearts. We confess that underneath our good works often lies a cold and stony heart. You have given us so much, yet we attempt to use Your gifts without love. Forgive us for being secretly self-serving; for the times we manipulate our kindnesses to make ourselves look good. Forgive us for giving reluctantly, for not wanting to get our hands dirty, for not being willing to sacrifice. Help us to take up our cross daily, dying unto self, and living for Christ. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: 1 Peter 2:24

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
