Preparation for Worship
“I must hearken to the Gospel, which teaches me, not what I ought to do, (for that is the proper office of the Law), but what Jesus Christ the Son of God has done for me: Specifically, that He suffered and died to deliver me from sin and death. The Gospel wills me to receive this, and to believe it.” -Martin Luther
Call to Worship — Psalm 86:8-10
There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like Yours. All the nations You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name. For You are great and do wondrous things; You alone are God.

Old Testament Reading — Isaiah 40:9-11
You who bring good tidings to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!” See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arm and carries them close to his heart.
We Confess Our Sin Together
Almighty God, gracious Father, I confess that I have sinned against You. The Gospel proclaims that all of Your lovingkindness is in Your Son,
I hear the Good News and trust that He died for me.
His blood to pay for my debts of wrong,
His worthiness for my unworthiness,
His sinlessness for my transgression,
His purity for my uncleanness,
His sincerity for my guile,
His truth for my deceits,
His meekness for my pride,
His constancy for my backslidings,
His love for my enmity,
His fullness for my emptiness,
His faithfulness for my treachery,
His obedience for my lawlessness,
His glory for my shame,
His devotedness for my waywardness,
His righteousness for my dead works,
His death for my life. Amen.

God Declares Our Forgiveness — II Corinthians 4:6-7
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
