CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN

Father of heaven, Son of God, Redeemer of the world, and Holy Spirit who proceeds from them both, three persons and one God-have mercy on me, a miserable sinner. I have offended heaven and earth, more than my tongue can express. So where do I go, and where do I flee for relief? I am ashamed to lift up my eyes to heaven, and in earth I find no refuge. So what do I do? Lose hope? Give up? God forbid. O God, you are merciful. You never turn away anyone who comes to you for help. So I run to you. I humble myself before you. My sins are great, but have mercy on me for your great mercy. You did not become a man for our small offenses. You did not give up your Son to death just for small sins, but for all and the greatest sins of the world, so sinners could return to you in their hearts— as I am doing right now. So have mercy on me, O Lord. Although my sins are great, yet your mercy is greater. I crave nothing, O Lord, on my own account. This is for your name’s sake, to make it holy, and for the sake of your dear Son, Jesus Christ. Father in heaven, holy be your name. Your kingdom come! Amen.

SILENT CONFESSION

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

Psalm 103:10–12 “He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.”
