2 O PEN I N G H Y M N Out in the Wilderness W&P Purple Book #115 G R E E T I N G B R I E F O R D E R O F C O N F E S S I O N Pastor: Faithful God Congregation: We confess that we have been unfaithful to you. Like dry leaves and withered grass, our lives are blown about by our brokenness and the darkness that so often surrounds us. Restore us, O God; let the light of your face shine on us, and we shall be saved. Amen. O A N T I PH O N S M M, R L M, C L I G H T I N G O F T H E T H I R D C A N D L E Light One Candle P R AY E R O F T H E D AY Pastor: Let us pray... Congregation: Amen. F I R S T R E A D I N G Isaiah 35:1-10 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the L, the majesty of our God. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are of a fearful heart, Be strong, do not fear! Here is your God. He will come with vengeance, with terrible 2 continues on page 3
3 recompense. He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert; the burning sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; the haunt of jackals shall become a swamp, the grass shall become reeds and rushes. A highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Holy Way; the unclean shall not travel on it, but it shall be for God s people; no traveler, not even fools, shall go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. And the ransomed of the L shall return, and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Reader: The Word of the Lord. Congregation: Thanks be to God. P S A L M S A L M Holy Is God S E C O N D R E A D I N G James 5:7-10 Be patient, therefore, beloved, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. 3 continues on page 4
4 Strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. Beloved, do not grumble against one another, so that you may not be judged. See, the Judge is standing at the doors! As an example of suffering and patience, beloved, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Reader: The Word of the Lord. Congregation: Thanks be to God. G OSPEL O S L A CC LAMATIONA M AT I O N H O LY G O S PEL Matthew 11:2-11 When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another? Jesus answered them, Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me. As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? 4
5 A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? Someone dressed in soft robes? Look, those who wear soft robes are in royal palaces. What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written, See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you. Truly I tell you, among those born of women no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Pastor: The Gospel of the Lord. Congregation: Praise to you, O Christ. T H E H O M I LY P J V H P R AY E R S OF O F I NTERCESSIT E R C E S S I ONN All Respond after each prayer: Leader: All: S I G N O F P E A C E Greet one another with: Peace be with you.

6 Pastor: Let us pray. Merciful God Congregation: We offer with joy and thanksgiving what you have first given us - our selves, our time, and our possessions, signs of your gracious love. Receive them for the sake of him who offered himself for us, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. T H E G R E AT T H A N K S G I V I N G Pastor: The Lord be with you. Congregation: And also with you. Pastor: Lift up your hearts. Congregation: We lift them to the Lord. Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. Congregation: It is right to give our thanks and praise.

9 Taking Faith Home CARING CONVERSATIONS Discuss in your home or small group: Tell about a me you have been filled with joy. In what way does Jesus ministry stated in Ma hew 11:5 describe what joy is like? How does Jesus ministry bring joy to the world? DEVOTIONS In the third week of Advent light the first, second, and third Advent candles and say these words. Say: This is the third week of Advent. We light our third candle, the candle of joy. Jesus birth and earthly ministry gives us reason to be joyful. He came to save us from our sins and bring us back to God. The candles are lit. Read: Isaiah 35: Pray: God, as we draw nearer to the celebra on of Jesus birth, fill us with joy and gladness. Help us to share the good news of Jesus birth with others. Amen.
