CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
Almighty God, you have raised Jesus from death to life, and crowned him Lord of all. We confess that we have not bowed before him, and are slow to acknowledge his rule. We give allegiance to the powers of this world, and fail to be governed by justice and love. In your mercy, forgive us. Raise us to acclaim him as ruler of all, that we may be loyal ambassadors, obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have gone along with the ways of the world, and failed to give him glory. Forgive us, and raise us from sin, that we may be your faithful people, obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who rules the world and is head of the church, his body. Return us to paths of righteousness through Jesus Christ, our Savior, Amen.
SILENT CONFESSION
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
