And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Col. 3:15-17

The Word of the Lord

Thanks be to God!

-Unison Confession:

Let us confess our sin before God and one another. 

Lord Jesus Christ,

Sin is my malady, my monster, my foe, my viper, 

born in my birth, alive in my life, 

strong in my character, dominating my faculties, 

following me as a shadow, intermingling with my every thought, 

my chain that holds me captive.

Yet your compassions yearn over me, 

your heart hastens to my rescue, 

your love endured my curse, 

your mercy bore my justice.

Let me walk in humility, 

bathed in your blood, 

tender of conscience, 

triumphing gloriously as an heir of salvation 

through your blessed name.  Amen.

-Silent prayer

-Assurance of Pardon:

This is the message we have heard from God

and proclaim to you,

that God is light and in God there is no darkness at all.

If we walk in the light, as God is in the light,

we have fellowship with one another,

and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

—from 1 John 1:5, 7, NRSV

I declare to you who trust in Jesus, you are forgiven!

Amen

Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

        #94 How Firm a Foundation

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, 

and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, 

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.  

-Matthew 6:9-13

Westminster Shorter Catechism Question 89

Q. How is the Word made effectual to salvation?

A. The Spirit of God makes the reading of the Word, but especially the preaching of it, an effectual means of convincing and converting sinners and of building them up in holiness and comfort, through faith, to salvation.
