1 Christ the King Lutheran Church 111 West Magnolia Road Salina, Kansas (785) The King Shall Come to Bring Us Peace SECOND SUNDAY IN ADVENT December 9, 2018

2 MISSION STATEMENT: The purpose of Christ the King is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to people and to make them disciples of Jesus. Welcome: We are pleased that you are here to join us in worship today. We pray that our time together in God s word assures you that you are loved by God and your sins are forgiven because of Jesus Christ s life, death, and resurrection. If you are visiting with us today and we can be of any assistance to you, please let us know. Record of Attendance: We ask that all who are worshipping with us today would honor us by giving us a record of your attendance. Please fill out the blue card and then hand it to the center aisle. If you will be fellowshipping with us at the Lord s Table today, please fill out the communion registration on the blue attendance cards. Prayer Request: If you have any prayer requests, please place them on an attendance card. If you would like your request included in the prayers today, please inform one of the ushers and they will inform Pastor. Children are always welcome in the worship service. At Christ the King we believe that it is important for the whole family to worship together whenever possible. In order to assist you and for your comfort, we have a room just off the sanctuary that has a one-way glass, and we also have a nursery. If one of these areas would be helpful to you the usher will be happy to assist you. Communion Statement: The Lord s Supper is celebrated at Christ the King in accordance with doctrine of Holy Scripture and the confessions of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and the glad confidence that as we receive the bread and wine we also receive the very Body and Blood of Lord Jesus Christ. In this meal God offers and gives to each who receive His Son s body and blood forgiveness of sins, strength for

3 a holy life, eternal life, and fellowship. Our Lord invites to His table all who trust and believe His Words, are repentant, and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us. Because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this altar, we ask that those who have not been instructed, have doubts, or hold a confession differing from this congregation and are not members of a congregation that belongs to the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and yet desire to receive the Lord s Supper to first speak with the Pastor or Elder. Thank you. Altar flowers are given to the Glory of God by Mark and Mary Hassman in celebration of their wedding anniversary. Order of Worship: Creative Worship Pre-Service Music by P-98 As We Gather: Preparation is probably on your mind. Christmas is only weeks away. There are presents to buy, visits to plan, decorations to put up, lights to see, food to cook, and so much more! As we prepare for Jesus to come, we reflect on John the Baptist s words to people who asked what they should do to prepare for the Messiah s coming. John says we are to make His paths straight by sharing food and clothing, by not taking advantage of people, and by being content with what the Lord has given us. In the midst of your busy preparations, consider these words. LIGHTING OF THE CANDLES WELCOME & GREETING CHIMES

4 PREPARATION OPENING HYMN Hark the Glad Sound LSB Hark the glad sound! The Savior comes, The Savior promised long; Let ev ry heart prepare a throne And ev ry voice a song. 2 He comes the pris ners to release, In Satan s bondage held. The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters yield. 3 He comes the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And with the treasures of His grace To enrich the humble poor. 4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim, And heav n s eternal arches ring With Thy belovèd name. Public domain INVOCATION P: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen.

5 OPENING SENTENCES (Based on Luke 3:4 6) P: Alleluia! Christ is coming soon! C: He is coming soon indeed! Alleluia! P: Prepare the way of the Lord. C: Make His paths straight. P: Every valley shall be filled, C: and every mountain and hill made low. P: The crooked shall become straight, C: and the rough places shall become level ways. P: All flesh shall see the salvation of God. C: We wait for Christ s return and the resurrection of all flesh. P: Alleluia! Christ is coming soon! C: He is coming soon indeed! Alleluia! LIGHTING OF THE ADVENT WREATH P: On the four Sundays in Advent, we light a new candle each week. We mark the four candles with these four words: hope, peace, joy, and love. Jesus Christ is the hope of the nations. C: We wait for the Lord, and in His Word do we hope. P: Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. C: We wait for the Lord, and in His Word do we rest.

6 HYMN The King Shall Come to Bring Us Peace (Tune: The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns) The King shall come to bring us peace, To straighten ev ry path. He comes to make our suff ring cease, To shield us from God s wrath. We light this candle to recall The Baptist s desert cry: Prepare the way, the Lord of all, The Prince of Peace is nigh.

[Permission is granted to reproduce this text for use December 2, 2018 March 3, 2019.] CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION (Luke 3:6; Psalm 66:1 2) P: In the season of Advent, we prepare for Jesus to come. As we wait for His coming, we consider how unworthy we are to have Jesus in our presence, how crooked our world has become, and how unjust are our relationships. We come before the Lord in humility. (Silence for reflection.) P: Heavenly Father, C: we confess that we have strayed from Your path. We have been selfish and cruel. We have treated our neighbors with injustice and prejudice. We have oppressed the weak in order to gain power. We long to return to You, but how are we to return?

7 P: As John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus, he said, All flesh shall see the salvation of God. God sent Jesus to bring salvation to the world through His death and resurrection. This salvation is complete, and Christ comes to you once again with forgiveness, life, and salvation. Hear these words of forgiveness, for they are from Christ Himself: As an ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of His name; give to Him glorious praise! WORD HYMN Arise, O Christian People LSB Arise, O Christian people! Prepare yourselves today; Prepare to greet the Savior, Who takes your sins away. To us by grace alone The truth and light were given; The promised Lord from heaven To all the world is shown. 2 Prepare the way before Him; Prepare for Him the best. Cast out what would offend Him, This great, this heav nly guest. Make straight, make plain the way: The lowly valleys raising, The heights of pride abasing, His path all even lay.

8 3 The humble heart and lowly God raises up on high; Beneath His feet in terror The haughty soul shall lie. The heart sincere and right, That heeds God s invitation And makes true preparation It is the Lord s delight. 4 Prepare my heart, Lord Jesus; Turn not from me aside, And help me to receive You This blessèd Adventtide. From stall and manger low Come now to dwell within me; I ll sing Your praises gladly And forth Your glory show. Public domain SALUTATION P: The Lord be with you. C: And also with you. PRAYER OF THE DAY P: Let us pray. Stir up our hearts, O Lord, to make ready the way of Your onlybegotten Son, that by His coming we may be enabled to serve You with pure minds; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen.

9 OLD TESTAMENT READING Malachi 3:1 7b (God s messenger prepares the way for the day of the Lord.) 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. But you say, How shall we return? L: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. EPISTLE Philippians 1:2 11 (We are all partakers of grace.) 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 And I

10 am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. L: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. VERSE (Luke 3:4b, 6) C: Alleluia. Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight; all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Alleluia. HOLY GOSPEL Luke 3:1 20 (John the Baptist prepares the way.) P: The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, the third chapter. C: Glory to You, O Lord. 1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, 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. 3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it

11 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. 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 ways, 6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 7 He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. 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. 9 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 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 by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages. 15 As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ, 16 John answered them all, saying, I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. 18 So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. 19 But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother s wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done, 20 added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison. P: This is the Gospel of the Lord. C: Praise to You, O Christ.

12 CHILDREN S MESSAGE HYMN OF THE DAY On Jordan s Bank the Baptist s Cry 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. 5 All praise, eternal Son, to Thee Whose advent sets Thy people free, Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Spirit evermore.

13 SERMON (Rev. Robert Schaedel) "Expectation!! Anticipation!" Luke 3:15-18 NICENE CREED C: I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. WE THANK GOD FOR OUR OFFERING

14 PRAYER OF THE CHURCH (Luke 19:38) P: Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus and for all people according to their needs. Dear heavenly Father, as we prepare the way for Christ to come, we proclaim: Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! C: Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! P: Lord, we have kept our distance from You. Our repentance and return has been halfhearted and imperfect. Forgive us, and return to us despite our failures, for Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! C: Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! P: Lord, we have kept our distance from our neighbors, from the suffering and forsaken, from the widow and the orphan, from the foreigner and refugee. Strengthen us to serve our neighbors, and strengthen them in their trials. Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! C: Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! P: Lord, heal the sick, injured, and recovering among us, [especially...].strengthen them with Your gracious hand and with Your unwavering presence. Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! C: Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! P: Lord, console the grieving with Your presence. [Today we remember the families and friends of...] Comfort them with the hope of resurrection life that is ours in Christ Jesus. Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! C: Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!

15 P: Lord, gladden the hearts of those who rejoice and direct their praise and thanksgiving to You. [Today we rejoice with...] Grant that their rejoicing lead us all to say: Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! C: Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! P: Lord, help us to live under Your perfect care. Prevent us from turning aside to idols and distractions. Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus that we evermore proclaim: Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! C: Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! P: Into Your hands, Lord Jesus, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in Your ever-present mercy. C: Amen. LORD S PRAYER (Matthew 6:9 13) C: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. PREFACE SACRAMENT P: The Lord be with you. (2 Timothy 4:22) C: And also with you. P: Lift up your hearts. (Colossians 3:1) C: We lift them to the Lord.

16 P: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. (Psalm 136) C: It is right to give Him thanks and praise. PROPER PREFACE P: It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to You, holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, whose way John the Baptist prepared, proclaiming Him the promised Messiah, the very Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and calling sinners to repentance that they might escape from the wrath to be revealed when He comes again in glory. Therefore with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and singing: HYMN Holy, Holy, Holy King (Tune: Savior of the Nations, Come) Holy, Holy, Holy King, Come and visit us, and bring Peace throughout the heav ns and earth, As we raise Hosanna s mirth.

This do in remembrance of Me.

17 In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. PROCLAMATION OF CHRIST P: As often as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the Lord s death until He comes. (1 Corinthians 11:26) C: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20) PAX DOMINI P: The peace of the Lord be with you always. C: Amen.

23 3 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. 4 O grant, dear Lord of love, That we receive, rejoicing, The word proclaimed by John, Our true repentance voicing, That gladly we may walk Upon our Savior s way Until we live with Him In His eternal day Concordia Publishing House.
