3 OLD TESTAMENT: Malachi 3:1-7b ESV See Below / Pew Bible Page 1490 / Own Bible 1 Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the LORD. 4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years. 5 Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts. 6 For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. 7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts. L: The Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God! HYMN: When All the World Was Cursed See the words below / LSB Behold the Lamb of God That bears the world s transgression, Whose sacrifice removes The devil s dread oppression. Behold the Lamb of God, Who takes away our sin, Who for our peace and joy Will full atonement win. PSALM 66:1-12 ESV See Below / Front of LSB / Own Bible L: Shout for joy to God, all the earth; C: sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! L: Say to God, How awesome are your deeds! C: So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. L: All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; C: they sing praises to your name. L: Come and see what God has done: C: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. L: He turned the sea into dry land; C: they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him, L: who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations C: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. L: Bless our God, O peoples; C: let the sound of his praise be heard, L: who has kept our soul among the living C: and has not let our feet slip. L: For you, O God, have tested us; C: you have tried us as silver is tried. L: You brought us into the net; C: you laid a crushing burden on our backs; L: you let men ride over our heads; C: we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. A: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Page 3

L: The Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God! HOLY GOSPEL: Luke 3:1-14 ESV See Below / Pew Bible Page 1593 / Own Bible The Gospel will be read during today s Sermon! HYMN OF THE DAY: On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry See the words below / TLH 63 / LSB On Jordan s bank the Baptist s cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings! 2 Then cleansed be ev ry life from sin; Make straight the way for God within, And let us all our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 We hail Thee as our Savior, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without Thy grace we waste away Like flow rs that wither and decay. 4 Lay on the sick Thy healing hand And make the fallen strong to stand; Show us the glory of Thy face Till beauty springs in ev ry place. SERMON: Does Your Repentance Have Fruit? Luke 3:1-14 ESV 1. The Precise Time When John Began His Ministry: 1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar [who was the Roman emperor from AD 14 to 37, so in AD 29], Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea [from AD 26/27 to 36/37], and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. Page 4

5 2. John Proclaimed a Baptism of Repentance for Forgiveness: 3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. a. 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. b. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places shall become level [smooth] ways, 6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 3. John Called the People to Show Their Repentance: 7 He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, You brood [offspring] of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bear [make, produce] fruits in keeping with [literally, worthy of] repentance. a. And do not begin to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father. For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. b. 9 Even now the axe is [being] laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bearing [making, producing] good fruit is [being] cut down and thrown into the fire. 4. John Told the People How to Show Their Repentance: 10 And the crowds asked him, What then shall we do? 11 And he answered them, Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise. 12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? 13 And he said to them, Collect no more than you are authorized to do. 14 Soldiers also asked him, And we, what shall we do? And he said to them, Do not extort money from anyone [harass, intimidate] by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages. NICENE CREED Go to the back of either hymnal. Page 5
