CALL TO WORSHIP

Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with loud songs of joy.

For the LORD, the Most High, is awesome, a great king over all the earth.

—Psalm 47:1-2—

CONFESSION OF SIN

Our Father, forgive us for thinking small thoughts of you and for ignoring your immensity and greatness. Lord Jesus, forgive us when we forget that you rule the nations and our small lives. Holy Spirit, we offend you in minimizing your power and squandering your gifts. We confess that our blindness to your glory, O triune God, has resulted in shallow confession, tepid conviction, and only mild repentance. Have mercy upon us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

Our Lord Jesus Christ—truly God and at the same time truly human and truly righteous—

is the mediator who was given to set us completely free and to make us right with God.

By the power of his divinity, He bore the weight of God’s anger in his humanity,

restoring us to righteousness and life.
