[Take a moment to silently confess your sins and unbelief…Amen.]

The Assurance of Pardon

Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.

§ The Confession of Faith                          
      Heidelberg Catechism       Lord’s Day 10             Question #27-28
Leader: What do you understand by the providence of God?
People: The Almighty and ever-present power of God by which God upholds, as with His Hand, heaven and earth and all creatures, and so rules them that leaf and blade, rain and drought, fruitful and lean years, food and drink, heath and sickness, prosperity and poverty—all things, in fact, come to us not by chance but by His fatherly Hand.

Leader: How does the knowledge of God’s creation and providence help us?
People: We can be patient when things go against us, thankful when things go well, and for the future we can have good confidence in our faithful God and Father that nothing in creation will separate us from His love. For all creatures are so completely in God’s Hand that without His Will they can neither move nor be moved.
