Confess Sins, Receive God's Mercy

Pastor: Peter calls on believers in exile to rid themselves of those things that would point themselves and others away from Christ.  Like the early church, we too are to rid ourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind, and to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against our soul. Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, let us confess our sins before God and one another.

People: Merciful…
