~ Psalm 145:8-9 & Romans 2:4 ~
Leader: The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The Lord is good to all, and His mercy is over all that He has made.
Do you presume on the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that Gods kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? Prayer Of Confession
~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~
The Words Of The Gospel
~ Psalm 103:10-12 ~
Leader: He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His stead-fast love toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us.
Song Of Response
I Stand Amazed (How Marvellous)
I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene And wonder how He could love me A sinner, condemned, unclean. Singing,
chorus How marvellous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvellous! How wonderful! Is my Saviour's love for me!
He took my sins and my sorrows He made them His very own And He bore the burden to Calvary And suffered and died alone

Our Confession Of Faith
~ Philippians 2:5-11 ~
Leader: Let us confess our faith together
Unison: We believe in our hearts and confess with our lips that Christ Jesus, being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Amen. The Benediction ~ Hebrews 13:20-21 ~
Leader: Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.
