We Confess Our Sin

All: The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.
Leader: The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.
All: The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
Silent Confession of Sin
Corporate Prayer of Confession:
All: Heavenly Father, you are the Most High God. Thank you for Your love and the promise of eternal life through Jesus. Forgive us, Lord, for neglecting to contemplate our mortality and the urgency of seeking salvation. We confess our tendency to prioritize worldly concerns over our eternal destiny. Help us grasp Your love shown through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. Grant us courage to face mortality with faith and empower us to share the hope that, through Jesus, death has been overcome. In His holy name we pray, Amen.
Assurance of Pardon: Psalm 103: 8-12
Leader: The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
