Corporate Confession of Sin
“We have been very guilty in our relationships toward our
brothers and sisters. We have not studied carefully the things that
make for peace. We have failed to maximize our use of the ways
we might build them up and encourage them. We have been
ready to judge our brother, and to regard him as though he were
of no value to us. Contrary to the royal law of love, we have been
puffed up and proud. We have been easily provoked. We have
rejoiced when others have fallen into sin, and been secretly glad
at their calamities. Forgive us, O God, for the sake of your
righteous Son, Jesus Christ.”

Prayer of Application
*Hymn of Response - #647 “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds”
* Confession of Faith
Leader: Christian, what do you believe concerning the death of Christ?
People: “The death of the Son of God is the only and most perfect
sacrifice and satisfaction for sin, and is of infinite worth and
value...because the person who submitted to it was not only
really man and perfectly holy, but also the only begotten Son of
God, of the same eternal and infinite essence with the Father and
the Holy Spirit, which qualifications were necessary to make
Him a Savior for us. Moreover, the promise of the gospel is that
whosoever believes in Christ crucified shall not perish, but have
eternal life. This promise, together with the command to repent
and believe, ought to be declared and published to all nations.”
