Scripture Reading: 2:1-5, Gospel Perspective

Call to Worship

The Lord our God reigns in justice and truth;

Slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love,

The whole earth is filled with his goodness!

He is faithful from generation to generation, 

The solid rock on which we stand. 

Let us join with all creation and sing to our great God!

Confession and Lament

Lord, how easy it can be to see the sins of others-

To point fingers of judgment or assume the worst of our neighbors. 

We miss the truth that we are no different.

You alone are righteous and true. 

Help us to see your kindness as an invitation to repentance. 

Soften the hardness of our hearts and lead us in mercy and in truth. 

Assurance of Gospel Peace

The good news of the gospel is Jesus. 

Before a holy and perfect God, 

We are all desperate for a savior. 

On the cross, Jesus took the wrath that we deserved 

And secured our right standing with the Father. 

Praise God, there is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ!

The good news of the gospel is Jesus. 

Before a holy and perfect God, we stand condemned. 

But in his obedience to death on a cross, Jesus took the wrath that we deserved. 

His death and resurrection secured our right standing with the Father.

Because he lives, we are forgiven and free!

Thank you Jesus, that we are your sons and daughters. 

We can rest in the promise of your eternal salvation for us.
