2019.01.27 Corporate Confession of Sin

Our confession of sin for this Lord's Day morning--like the Call to Worship, Prayer for Help, and Song of Adoration--comes from Psalm 46. As we have our thoughts shaped by this Psalm through the first portion of the service, the Scripture exposes us as not resting in the Lord as we ought to. Praise God that it does not take perfect or even mighty faith in Christ, but only the weakest genuine faith, to be joined to Him, and counted righteous on the merits of His perfect resting!
