WELCOME TO WORSHIP
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Paul’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray that your soul will be strengthened by the good news of God’s forgiveness through Jesus.
PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR TODAY’S WORSHIP
Holy Spirit, you prophesied of my Savior’s suffering throughout Scripture. Tonight, you reveal to me that you even prophesied about the moments after his death. Help me consider the accounts before me tonight and know that I am fully forgiven through Jesus’ sacrificial death in my place. Lift my heart with the certain hope that because my Savior tasted death for me on the cross, I will never have to taste eternal death in hell. In his name I pray. Amen.
