2019.04.07 Confession of Sin

As we continue working our way through Psalm 149 in the beginning part of the service on the coming Lord's Day, we will find Psalm 149:5-9 convicting (alongside also James 4:4-6 and Romans 14:23). And thus, we will confess our sin together in the following words. May the Spirit help us to pray sincerely, softening our hearts to acknowledge before God the truth about our remaining sin!

Psalm 149
    5      Let the saints be joyful in glory;
    Let them sing aloud on their beds.
    6      Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
    And a two-edged sword in their hand,
    7      To execute vengeance on the nations,
    And punishments on the peoples;
    8      To bind their kings with chains,
    And their nobles with fetters of iron;
    9      To execute on them the written judgment—
    This honor have all His saints.
    Praise the LORD!

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!

2019.01.20 Corporate Confession of Sin from Romans 1

Our confession of sin tomorrow morning comes from Romans 1. It's so easy to identify that our culture demands approval for perversion. It's more difficult to identify that the roots of all of these sins still infect our hearts and lives. Praise God for His sanctifying and persevering grace!
