Scripture

Deuteronomy 30:15–20

[15] “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. [16] If you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you today, by loving the LORD your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. [17] But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, [18] I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. [19] I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, [20] loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” (ESV)

Call to Worship

Psalm 42:11

[11] Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God. (ESV)

Prayer of Repentance

Almighty and most merciful Father, we have strayed from your ways like lost sheep. We have done what we ought not to have done, and we have not done what we ought to have done. O Lord, have mercy on us! Spare those who confess their faults. Restore those who are repentant. And for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, grant that we may hereafter live godly and righteous lives to your glory. Amen.

Benediction

May the LORD, who sets before you life and death, renew your hearts today to come to him and follow him with your whole heart. May His Spirit overcome your self-deceit, and reveal the glorious love for you revealed in Christ, that you may walk in His ways, and hold fast to Christ, and that your children would taste and see that the Lord is Good. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
