For  Reflection  and  Preparation    ​

  For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”                                  Romans 1:16-17

 

  Where Christ is truly seen, there must be full and perfect joy in the Lord, with peace of conscience, which thinks this way: Although I am a sinner by the law and under condemnation of the law, yet I despair not, yet I die not, because Christ lives, who is both my righteousness and my everlasting life. In that righteousness and life I have no sin, no fear, no sting of conscience, no care of death.  I am indeed a sinner as touching this present life, and the righteousness thereof, as a child of Adam.  But I have another righteousness and life, above this life, which is Christ the Son of God, who knows no sin, no death, but is righteousness and life eternal; by whom this my body, being dead and brought to dust, shall be raised up again, and delivered from the bondage of the law and sin, and shall be sanctified together with my spirit.

Assurance of God’s Grace                             1 Peter 2:9-10

  But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Confessing Our Faith                     The Apostles’ Creed

I Believe in God the Father, Almighty,

​Maker of heaven and earth;

​And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord,

​Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

​Born of the virgin Mary,

​Suffered under Pontius Pilate,

​Was crucified, dead, and buried:

​He descended into hell;

​The third day He arose again from the dead;

​He ascended into heaven,

​And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty,

​From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I Believe in the Holy Spirit;

​The holy catholic church;

​The communion of saints,

​The forgiveness of sins,

​The resurrection of the body;

​And the life everlasting.  Amen.
