THE HEIDELBERG CATECHISM - Lord’s Day 3 (Questions 6,7,8)

CONFESSION OF SINS

FIRST READING: [Psalm 103:6-22 CSB]

[6] The LORD executes acts of righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. [7] He revealed his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel. [8] The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love. [9] He will not always accuse us or be angry forever. [10] He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our iniquities. [11] For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his faithful love toward those who fear him. [12] As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. [13] As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him. [14] For he knows what we are made of, remembering that we are dust. [15] As for man, his days are like grass -- he blooms like a flower of the field; [16] when the wind passes over it, it vanishes, and its place is no longer known. [17] But from eternity to eternity the LORD's faithful love is toward those who fear him, and his righteousness toward the grandchildren [18] of those who keep his covenant, who remember to observe his precepts. [19] The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. [20] Bless the LORD, all his angels of great strength, who do his word, obedient to his command. [21] Bless the LORD, all his armies, his servants who do his will. [22] Bless the LORD, all his works in all the places where he rules. My soul, bless the LORD!

SERMON TEXT: [Ephesians 1:7-10 CSB]

[7] In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace [8] that he richly poured out on us with all wisdom and understanding. [9] He made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he purposed in Christ [10] as a plan for the right time -- to bring everything together in Christ, both things in heaven and things on earth in him.
