Confession and Assurance of Pardon

A Puritan Prayer
Make me understand, Lord, where I have gone wrong. Cause me to recognize my transgressions and my sin. Search me and try me, and then enable me to search and try myself and to see what is true, over and over. Remove whatever might make me blind, or narrow, or distracted. Light up my conscience. Let it faithfully represent your just charges against me. Do this for your glory and my good.

Hebrews 12:22-24 (ESV)
But we have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

  • Rock of Ages by Thomas Hastings and Augustus Montague Toplady

Benediction

  • O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing by Charles Wesley
  • All Creatures of Our God and King by William Henry Draper and St. Francis of Assisi

1 Peter 1:20-23 (ESV)
[Jesus] was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
Having purified our souls by our obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, since we have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God.
