#165 - Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim

Corporate Confession of Sin

Heavenly Father, you have called us to pursue the new person that we are in Christ. The person you are renewing. Forgive us for not diligently applying ourselves to the task. We have been reluctant to put off old desires, thinking, and practices. They are too familiar, too comfortable. Soften our hearts that we might want what you want. Open our eyes that we might see ourselves as you see us, complete in Christ. As we quiet ourselves to confess how we have fallen short of that glorious goal, be at work by your Spirit. Show us our sin that we might be convinced that it is sin and quickly repent. This we ask in the name of Jesus, your Son, our Savior. Amen.

Affirmation of Faith: from the New Hampshire Confession

Article 13: Of a Gospel Church

We believe that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by his laws; and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by his word; that its only scriptural officers are bishops or pastors and deacons whose qualifications, claims and duties are defined in the Epistles to Timothy and Titus.
