Confession of Faith

Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets;

And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and of the life of the world to come. Amen.

All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name (Trinity Hymnal #296)

Confession of Sin

Lord, though You should guide us, we inform ourselves; though You should rule us, we control ourselves; though You should fulfill us, we console ourselves. We think Your truth too high, Your will too hard, Your power too remote, Your grace too free. But they are not! And without them, we are of all people most miserable. O Lord heal our confused minds with Your word, heal our divided wills with Your law, heal our troubled consciences with Your love, heal our anxious hearts with Your presence, all for the sake of Your Son, who loved us and gave Himself for us. Amen.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken (Trinity Hymnal #345)

Confession of Sin

Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. Forgive what our lips tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a consuming fire of judgment. Set us free from a past that we cannot change; open to us a future in which we can be changed; and grant us grace to grow more and more in your likeness and image, through Jesus Christ, the light of the world. Amen.

Hail to the Lord’s Anointed (from Psalm 72) (Trinity Hymnal #311)

Confession of Sin

Mighty God, You are good beyond measure while I am shaped by sin. My lips are ready to confess, but my heart is slow to feel, and my ways slower to change. I bring my soul to You: break it, wound it, bend it, mold it. Show me sin’s deformity, that I may hate and flee from it. My abilities have been weapons against You. I have misused my strengths and labored against Your kingdom. Give me grace to mourn my foolishness. Grant me to know that the way of the sinner is hard, that to depart from You is to lose all good. I have seen Your perfect law, the happiness of those who embrace it, and the dignified walk to which it calls; yet I daily violate and despise it. Your Spirit strives within me, yet I provoke Him to abandon me. For these sins I cry pardon. Work in me profound and abiding repentance. Give me the fullness of a godly grief. Grant that through true repentance I may see more clearly the brightness and glories of the saving cross.
