From the worship leaders at Exeter Presbyterian Church, Exeter, NH.

This year-long series of podcasts is built on a simple conviction: The health of the church is tied to its ability to confess sin honestly and receive grace joyfully.

Confession is not an interruption in worship; it is the moment when the gospel becomes personally and corporately real. By focusing each week on who God is, who we are, and what Christ has accomplished, these devotions create a rhythm of repentance and renewal anchored in Scripture and shaped by Reformed worship.

Four Themes That Shape the Heart

The series unfolds through 13 four-week cycles. Each cycle has one lesson (for a total of 13) from among the following themes:

The Holiness of God: We begin with God Himself. His holiness is not abstract majesty; it is a blazing light that reveals our sin and awakens our need. Setting our eyes on God’s glory reorders our worship and prepares our hearts for repentance.

The Depth of Our Need: We learn to name sin as Scripture names it: rebellion, idolatry, unbelief, pride, bondage. This is not to shame the church but to ground us in truth. We cannot confess what we will not acknowledge.

Christ Our Redeemer: Every confession is answered by Christ. These devotions lift up His person and work so that our repentance flows from confidence, not fear. The goal is not introspection but Christ-fixation.

The Gospel Applied (The Ordo Salutis): The final theme traces how God saves, keeps, and glorifies His people. Confession becomes a weekly reminder that salvation is God’s work from beginning to end.

God’s eternal decree is not a cold doctrine but wonderful news for believers. Flowing from who God is, it declares that He ordains all things, saves by sovereign grace, and appoints both the end and the means of redemption. Far from being unfair, God’s decree humbles us, secures our hope, and leads us to reverent worship and praise.
