Prayer of Confession & Assurance of Pardon
The cross is the cure. The cross shows us our weaknesses, shows us your love, and demonstrates your power to transform death into life! In the power of this miraculous day, know without doubt that you are forgiven and made new in the name of Jesus Christ.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and made new.
Thanks be to God.
