1 Welcome to Zion Lutheran Church! 1732 S. Main St. Aberdeen, SD Website: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rooted in Faith * Growing in Spirit * Reaching out to Those in Need ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Second Sunday of Advent 10:45 am _December 6, 2015 INTRODUCTION Forerunners and messengers advance the advent of our God. While John the Baptizer s voice in the wilderness may be the principal focus of the day, Malachi s prophesy could as easily herald the coming Lord Jesus as forerunner of the Lord of hosts. Finally all the baptized are called to participate in the sharing of the gospel. In so doing we prepare the way for the coming of the Lord and assist all flesh in capturing a vision of the salvation of God. GATHERING MUSIC WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS LIGHTING OF THE ADVENT WREATH Brian Kelly Isaac & Noah VanderWeyst ADVENT HYMN Peace, Peace, Peace Peace, peace, peace - The gift of Christ is peace. We walk with God, our past forgiven. All in Him is live and heaven. Peace, peace, peace - The gift of Christ is peace. Hope, hope, hope - The light of Christ is hope. In all our darkness Christ is shining, Leading upward, faith refining. Hope, hope, hope - The light of Christ is hope. 1 PRAYER OF CONFESSION (please stand) We are forever grateful that you, O God, revealed that the landscape of your heart has no boundaries, so why do we believe that we can draw boundaries of your grace and love? Whenever we construct a boundary to your unconditional love by placing conditions shaped by race, gender, or any other prejudices, Forgive us. When we patrol the limits of your love and justice and exclude people because of spoken or unspoken beliefs, Forgive us. You forever crossed the boundaries between divinity and humanity through the birth of Jesus, so when we redraw them to suit ourselves, Forgive us. May our love be like yours, O God, with no boundaries so that it overflows more and more with knowledge and insight so that in the day of Christ we may truly be pure and blameless. Amen ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS The apostle Paul prayed that our love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help us determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ we may be pure and blameless. Jesus Christ was sent by God into the world, not to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned. Thanks be to God! OPENING SONG Here I Am To Worship Tim Hughes So here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, Light of the World, You stepped down into darkness, Opened my eyes, let me see. Beauty that made this heart adore You, Hope of a life spent with You. 2

2 So here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, King of all days, oh so highly exalted, Glorious in heaven above. Humbly You came to the earth You created, All for love s sake became poor. So here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, So here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, PRAYER OF THE DAY All-powerful God, we praise you for choosing to save the world by becoming one of us - by taking on the flesh of a vulnerable baby. Through this act of pure love, you dissolved the boundaries between heaven and earth and between divinity and humanity. We pray that our response to such blessings and grace may be evident in the manner in which we worship, witness and serve you in Jesus name. Amen (please be seated) A TIME FOR CHILDREN PSALM Luke 1: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favorably on his people and redeemed them. 69 He has raised up a mighty savior for us in the house of his servant David, 70 as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, 71 that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us. 72 Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors, and has remembered his holy covenant, 73 the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham, to grant us 74 that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, 77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins. 78 By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, 79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. ALLELUIA The Lord Almighty Reigns Terry Butler Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah the Lord reigns. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah the Lord Almighty reigns.

3 SONG OF THE DAY Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble? Martin Smith Did you feel the mountains tremble? Did you hear the oceans roar When the people rose to sing of Jesus Christ, the risen One? Did you feel the people tremble? Did you hear the singers roar When the lost began to sing of Jesus Christ, the saving one? Open up the doors, Let the music play. Let the streets resound with singing: Songs that bring Your hope, Songs that bring Your joy, Dancers who dance upon injustice. Do you feel the darkness tremble When all the saints join in one song, And all the streams flow as one river To wash away our brokenness? Open up the doors, Let the music play. Let the streets resound with singing: Songs that bring Your hope, Songs that bring Your joy, Dancers who dance upon injustice. Open up the doors, Let the music play. Let the streets resound with singing: Songs that bring Your hope, Songs that bring Your joy, Dancers who dance upon injustice.

And though these are days of great trial, of famine and darkness and sword, And we are a voice in the desert crying, prepare ye the Way of the Lord. Behold He comes, riding on the clouds, These are the days of Ezekial, the dry bones becoming as flesh, And these are the days of your servant David, rebuilding the temple of praise. And these are the days of the harvest, the fields are as white in the world. And we are the laborers in the vineyard, declaring the Word of the Lord. Behold He comes, riding on the clouds, There s no God like Jehovah There s no God like Jehovah There s no God like Jehovah There s no God like Jehovah There s no God like Jehovah There s no God like Jehovah There s no God like Jehovah Behold He comes, riding on the clouds, 8

6 Malachi 3:1-4 3 See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight indeed, 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 descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the LORD in righteousness. 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. PSALM Luke 1: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favorably on his people and redeemed them. 69 He has raised up a mighty savior for us in the house of his servant David, 70 as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, 71 that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us. 72 Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors, and has remembered his holy covenant, 73 the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham, to grant us 74 that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, 77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins. 78 By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, 79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 3:1-6 3 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3 He went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, 4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, The voice of one crying out 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 be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth; 6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
