II. CONFESSION
Individual Call: Psalm 139:23-24
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!
Corporate Call:
Lord, with the Apostle Paul, we are compelled to confess, “Oh, wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death?” we are in need of deliverance for we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed; Not only in outward transgressions, but also in secret thoughts and desires that we are unable fully to understand, but which are all known to you.
Lord, this body of death swiftly rebels against your grace. We have raced toward the evil desires of the flesh. We have embraced impatience. And we have allowed envy and greed to possess our affections. Oh Lord, with David, we confess, “Against you and you only have we sinned.” Oh Lord, we are in need of your grace.
For this reason, we run for refuge to your infinite mercy, seeking and imploring your forgiveness and deliverance through our Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Response: Father, forgive us.
III. ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Arise and hear the good news!
Church, your prayers have not failed, for your confession has ascended to the right hand of the Father, where the Great High Priest has now interceded on your behalf.
Beloved, do not stay in the chains of your sin but rather press into the freedom of the eternally gracious and merciful God!
In Christ we have a hope that will not be moved, we have a foundation that cannot be shaken, and we have a freedom that will not be taken. For Christ is the Redeemer, he is the victor, he is our high priest and he is our King! He took your sins upon himself, bore them in his body and nailed them to the cross! By the power of the gospel, you have been given new life in Christ. And this is good news!
Church, lift up your hearts and hear these words, The redeemer who has set you free has declared this day, Your sins are forgiven!
Response: Thanks be to God!
