What is your only comfort in life and in death? That I, with body and soul, both in life and in death, am not my own, but belong to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ, who with His precious blood has fully satisfied for all my sins, and redeemed me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me, that without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, that all things must work together for my salvation.  Wherefore, by His Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me heartily willing and ready henceforth to live unto Him.

Invitation to the Lord’s Table

We welcome to the Lord’s Table all who have professed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and are members in good standing of an evangelical, Bible-believing church.

 

Unison Confession of Sin

O most holy, and ever-present Lord, we confess Your righteousness in declaring that our iniquities have made a separation between us and You, and that our sins have hidden Your face from us so that You do not hear. According to the promise that Your hand is not shortened that it cannot save, and Your ear is not dull that it cannot hear, we, Your wayward children, plead Your mercy upon us. O God grant to us humble hearts and a sincere repentance, that we may rejoice in a renewed fellowship with You, through the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin, and brings us peace, in Christ who is our peace. We pray in His Name. Amen.

 

Silent Examination and Confession of Sin

 

Assurance of Pardon

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in thename of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. – 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
