CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
Bill Gabbard
Holy and merciful God, in your presence we confess our sinfulness, our shortcomings, and our offenses against you. You alone know how often we have sinned in wandering from your ways. In wasting your gifts, and in forgetting your love. Have mercy on us, o Lord, for we are ashamed and repentant for all that we have done to displease you. Forgive our sins, and help us to live in your light and walk in your ways, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen. ASSURANCE OF PARDON: 1 JOHN 1:9 If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. PASTORAL PRAYER HYMN NO. 292

Jeremiah 3:25–4:2 25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our dishonor cover us; for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our ancestors, from our youth even to this day; and we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.” 1 If you return, O Israel, says the Lord, if you return to me, if you remove your abominations from my presence, and do not waver, 2 and if you swear, “As the Lord lives!” in truth, in justice, and in uprightness, then nations shall be blessed by him, and by him they shall boast.
