CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
Lord Jesus, we have sinned times without number, and been guilty of pride and unbelief, and of neglect to seek you in our daily life. We confess today that we often live like slaves. Instead of living like you delight in us, we avoid you in shame and guilt. Instead of receiving your favor as a gift, we try to earn it with our efforts. Instead of accepting your freedom, we prefer our chains. Instead of pursuing your purposes, we cling to our short-sighted agendas. Our sins and shortcomings present us with a list of accusations, but we thank you that they will not stand against us, for all have been laid on Christ. Deliver us from every evil habit, every interest of former sins, everything that dims the brightness of your grace in us, everything that prevents us taking delight in you. Thank you for the freedom you have given us through the life, death and resurrection of your Son. We ask this in Jesus’s name. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON
