Prayer of Confession
Holy Father, judge of all people, we bow before You humbly confessing our sin and imploring Your mercy. We have heard Your commands to love You and our neighbor, yet in our pride and selfishness we fall woefully short. We seek to do our own will rather than Yours, and we serve ourselves much better than we help others. By Your Spirit free us from unholy desires. Help us to love one another as You have loved us in Christ Jesus, in whose strong name we pray. 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
