Confession Sce we are created God s image, we are fruitful, or creative. Th often called creation mate or cultural mate. God brought g a flawless creation, an ideal platform, n created humanity contue creation proect. God blessed m, God said m, Be fruitful multiply, fill earth (Gen. 1:28a). God could have created everythg imagable filled earth himself. But he chose create humanity work alongside him actualize universe s potential, participate God s own work. It remarkable that God trusts us carry out th amazg task of buildg on good earth he has given us. Through our work God brgs forth food drk, products services, knowledge auty, organizations communities, growth health, prae glory himself. Confession of S God Almighty, you who have made mankd your image have given us task have domion over or creatures; you have also given us duty cultivate earth that it might yield riches supply our needs: we thank you for blessg of labor whereby we are made both workers stewards: Thank you, Good Lord. By selfhness wayward practices, by ignorance greed, by idleness oppression, curse of Garden has spread through world; we have wasted mused your gifts, oy of mankd work has departed from many. For whatever our part se ss, we ask your forgiveness, Heavenly Far: Far, forgive us. From pride greed, from muse of our bodies mds; from hard heart which dregards need of a fellow servant, from dhonest labor which withholds fullness of promed service; from lazess, selfdulgence, humanity: Good Lord, deliver us. (You are vited confess your ss silently.) 6
Assurance of Pardon Now on h way Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along border tween Samaria Galilee. As he was gog a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They sod at a dtance called out a loud voice, Jesus, Master, have pity on us! When he saw m, he said, Go, show yourselves priests. And as y went, y were cleansed. One of m, when he saw he was healed, came back, prag God a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus feet thanked him he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, Were not all ten cleansed? Where are or ne? Was no one found return give prae God except th foreigner? Then he said him, Re go; your faith has made you well. Th good news: Chrt has died for our ss, accordg Scriptures has ren from dead (1 Corthians 15:34). The Lord faithful, he will strengn you protect you from evil one (1Thessalonians 3:3). Thanks God!! Luke 17:1119 Jesus tells m go show mselves priests accordg Leviticus chapter 14, if you were a leper, only reason go present yourself priest was if when you had en already healed. The priest would check you out if you truly were clean, n an offerg was made signify celebrate your purification. So fact that y start out search for a priest even when y are still leprous clearly signifies a real true faith. Jesus makes explicit th udgment when lone leper returns says, Your faith has saved you. So we might say that all ten had real faith; but only one had real gratitude. 7

From h temple he heard my voice, my cry him reached h ears. 7 Then earth reeled rocked; foundations also of mountas trembled quaked, cause he was angry. 8 Smoke went up from h nostrils, devourg fire from h mouth; glowg coals flamed forth from him. 9 He bowed heavens came down; thick darkness was under h feet. 10 He rode on a cherub flew; he came swiftly on wgs of wd. 11 He made darkness h coverg, h canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water. 12 Out of brightness fore him hailsnes coals of fire broke through h clouds. 13 The Lord also thundered heavens, Most High uttered h voice, hailsnes coals of fire. 14 And he sent out h arrows scattered m; he flashed forth lightngs routed m. 15 Then channels of sea were seen, foundations of world were laid bare at your rebuke, O Lord, at blast of breath of your nostrils. 16 He sent from on high, he ok me; he drew me out of many waters. 17 He rescued me from my strong enemy from those who hated me, for y were o mighty for me. 18 They confronted me day of my calamity, but Lord was my support. 19 He brought me out a broad place; he rescued me, cause he delighted me. 49 For th I will prae you, O Lord, among nations, sg your name. 50 Great salvation he brgs h kg, shows steadfast love h anoted, David h offsprg forever.
