The Prayer of Confession
[Take a moment to silently confess you sins and unbelief…Amen.]
The Assurance of Pardon (Unison)
Titus 3:4-7
But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, Whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal lif

§ The Confession of Faith
Heidelberg Catechism Lord’s Day 7 Question #20-23
Leader: Are all people then saved through Christ just as they were lost through Adam?
People: No. Only those are saved who through true faith are grafted into Christ and accept all His benefits.
Leader: What is true faith?
People: True faith is not only a sure knowledge by which I hold as true all that God has revealed to us in Scripture; it is also a wholehearted trust, which the Holy Spirit created in me by the Gospel, that God has freely granted, not only to others but to me also, forgiveness of sins, eternal righteousness, and salvation. These are gifts of sheer grace, granted solely by Christ’s merit.
Leader: What then must a Christian believe?
People: All that is promised us in the Gospel, a summary of which is taught us in the articles of our universal and undisputed Christian faith.
Leader: What are these articles?
People: I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
