The word of the Lord is upright,
And all his work is done in faithfulness.

The earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

Who is like you, O Lord,
Majestic in holiness,
Awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

To set all things right,
And to make all things new!

Majestic in holiness,
Awesome in glorious deeds?

The Almighty reigns!
Confession: The Glory of God and Everlasting Life
LEADER:
How can we glorify God?
PEOPLE:
We glorify God by enjoying him, loving him, trusting him, and by obeying his will, commands, and law.
LEADER:
What is idolatry?
PEOPLE:
Idolatry is trusting in created things rather than the Creator for our hope and happiness, significance and security.
LEADER:
What hope does everlasting life hold for us?
PEOPLE:
It reminds us that this present fallen world is not all there is; soon we will live with and enjoy God forever in the new city, in the new heaven and the new earth, where we will be fully and forever freed from all sin and will inhabit renewed, resurrection bodies in a renewed, restored creation.
Classic Prayer: Philip Melancthon, 1497-1560
I give thanks to you, Almighty God, for revealing yourself to me, for sending your Son Jesus Christ, that he might become a sacrifice, that through him I might be forgiven and receive eternal life. I give thanks to you, O God, for making me a recipient of your great favor through the Gospel and for preserving your Word and the Church. O that I might truly declare your goodness and blessings! Inspire me, I earnestly pursue you, and ask that the Holy Spirit would urge thanksgiving to shine forth in my life… Enlighten my heart, that I may be more fully aware of your favor toward me and forever worship you with true thanksgiving.
