Scripture

1 Timothy 1:12-20

[12] I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, [13] though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, [14] and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. [15] The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. [16] But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. [17] To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

[18] This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, [19] holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith, [20] among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme. (ESV)

Call to Worship

[8] Do not remember against us our former iniquities;
let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.

[9] Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name’s sake!

Prayer of Repentance

Father in Heaven, we have sinned against heaven and before you, and are no longer worthy to be called your children. But you are a God gracious and full of compassion, longsuffering and plenteous in mercy and truth. Do not cast us away from your presence, nor take your Holy Spirit away from us; but let us always dwell with the upright in your presence. Amen.

Benediction

May the Lord, who came into the world to save sinners pour out His overflowing grace upon you with the faith and love that are in Him. May His perfect patience, shown tn the worst of sinners, free you from shame and fill you with gratitude for His mercy. May you wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience, so that the church may stand firm as a pillar and buttress of the truth. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
