The Baptism of our Lord
Divine Service Setting 3 (LSB pg 184)
January 7, 2018 8:00 a.m.
AS WE GATHER Jesus began His work for our salvation when He became man at Christmas.
He began His active work shedding the first drops of redeeming blood at His circumcision. Now
He takes His place alongside all mankind as He stands in the Jordan River. At His Baptism, He
receives the Holy Spirit, and a voice from heaven declares, “You are My beloved Son.”
Beginning now, our Lord lives for us sinless under the Law of God as He does all the way to His
ultimate work of deliverance, shedding His blood on the cross. We take comfort that our Savior is
with us, right alongside, with His Word and Spirit to enable us to live holy lives by faith and with
the boldness of the cross, following Him. Our Baptism is for us the beginning of the new, eternal
life that unites us with God both now and forever.

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING HYMN: “Light of Light, O Sole Begotten” LSB 914
INVOCATION
The sign of the cross may be made by all in remembrance of their Baptism.
P: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.
P: Beloved in the Lord! Let us draw near with a true heart and confess our sins unto God
our Father, beseeching Him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to grant us
forgiveness.
P: Our help is in the name of the Lord,
C: who made heaven and earth.
P: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord,
C: and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION
Silence for reflection on God's Word and for self-examination.
P: O almighty God, merciful Father,
C: I, a poor, miserable sinner, confess unto You all my sins and iniquities with
which I have ever offended You and justly deserved Your temporal and eternal
punishment. But I am heartily sorry for them and sincerely repent of them, and
I pray You of Your boundless mercy and for the sake of the holy, innocent,
bitter sufferings and death of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to be gracious and
merciful to me, a poor, sinful being.
3
P: Upon this your confession, I, by virtue of my office, as a called and ordained servant
of the Word, announce the grace of God unto all of you, and in the stead and by the
command of my Lord Jesus Christ I forgive you all your sins in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.
INTROIT
P: Behold my servant, whom I uphold,
C: my chosen, in whom my soul delights.
P: I will tell of the decree:
C: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.
P: Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
C: and the ends of the earth your possession.
P: You shall break them with a rod of iron
C: and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
P: Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
C: be warned, O rulers of the earth.
P: Serve the Lord with fear,
C: and rejoice with trembling,
P: for his wrath is quickly kindled.
C: Blessèd are all who take refuge in him.
ALL: 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.
P: Behold my servant, whom I uphold,
C: my chosen, in whom my soul delights.

SALUTATION AND COLLECT OF THE DAY

P: Father in heaven, at the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River You proclaimed Him
Your beloved Son and anointed Him with the Holy Spirit. Make all who are baptized in
His name faithful in their calling as Your children and inheritors with Him of everlasting
life; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever.

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON: Genesis 1:1-5
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form
and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering
over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4
And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5
God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and
there was morning, the first day.
L: This is the Word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.
EPISTLE: Romans 6:1-11 1What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means!
How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with
him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the
glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united with
him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We
know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought
to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been
set free from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with
him. 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no
longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the
life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive
to God in Christ Jesus.

L: This is the Word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.

ALLELUIA
HOLY GOSPEL: Mark 1:4-11
P: The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the first chapter.
John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism
of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all
Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river
Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a
leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached,
saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am
not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I have baptized you with water, but he will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” 9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee
and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water,
immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him
like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I
am well pleased.”
P: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
8
NICENE CREED 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

PREFACE
P: It is truly meet, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give
thanks to God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord; for at his Baptism your voice from
10
heaven revealed Him as Your beloved Son, and the Holy Spirit descended on him,
confirming Him to be the Christ. Therefore, with angels and archangels and with all
the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising
You and saying:

About Holy Communion—The Lord’s Supper is celebrated here in the belief and
glad confidence that our Lord gives us as He says, not only bread and wine, but His
very body and blood to eat and to drink for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen
our union with Him and with one another. Our Lord invites to His table those who
trust His words, repent of all sin, and forgive and love as He forgives and loves us. If
this is your belief, we welcome you to join us at the Lord’s table.
Because we are called to examine ourselves before receiving the Lord’s Supper (I
Corinthians 11:28-29), we encourage you to consider the questions on p. 329-330 in
the front of the hymnal. If you are communing with us for the first time, or if you
would like a fuller understanding of what we as Lutherans believe about the Lord’s
Supper, please pick up a copy of “What is the Lord’s Supper?” at the Information
table in the entryway.
Please reserve the white grape juice cups in the center of the communion trays for
those who for health reasons are unable to drink wine. If your health requires gluten-
free wafers, they are available upon request. Speak to the pastor prior to the service.
Our pastors are happy to speak to you further if you have any questions.

THANKSGIVING
P: Let us pray…We give thanks to You, almighty God, that You have refreshed us
through this salutary gift, and we implore You that of Your mercy You would
strengthen us through the same in faith toward You and in fervent love toward one
another; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

In Holy Baptism, the Triune God Reveals
Himself and Recreates Us in His Image “In
the beginning, God created the heavens and
the earth” (Gen. 1:1). Then, as “the Spirit of
God was hovering over the face of the
waters” (Gen. 1:2), God spoke His Word:
“‘Let there be light,’ and there was light”
(Gen. 1:3). In the same way, “the beginning
of the gospel of Jesus Christ” (Mark 1:1)
brings about the new creation through the
waters of Baptism by the same Word and
Spirit of God. When John the Baptist came,
“proclaiming a baptism of repentance for
the forgiveness of sins,” Jesus also came
“and was baptized by John in the Jordan”
(Mark 1:4, 9). Although He had no sins of
His own, He took His stand with sinners in
His Baptism and took the sins and mortality
of the world upon Himself. He was
baptized into His own death, by which the
heavens are opened and the Spirit is given
to us. God the Father is well pleased with
His beloved Son and raises Him from the
dead. As we share His Baptism and are
“united with him in a death like his” (Rom.
6:5), we also share His resurrection unto
“newness of life” (Rom. 6:4).

Church Of The Week Homeless Ministry
Hosted by Trinity- Feb. 12 – Feb. 18 This
annual community outreach provides
overnight shelter and meals for the
homeless. In addition to providing
overnight shelter in our Fellowship Hall for
25-35 people each night, we will be
preparing and serving a community meal
for 100 people at Place of Hope every night
at 5:00pm. Many volunteers are needed;
to drive the bus, prepare & serve meals and
snacks. Some of the meals are prepared by
groups but individuals are also needed.
Host/hostesses are needed to serve 5 hour
shifts for overnight supervision/security.
This is a labor of love as our “Social
Ministry” fund will be used to purchase all
the food. If you would like to donate to
that fund, checks can be made payable to
“Trinity Lutheran Church” and in the memo
please note: “Social Ministry.” On January
21st we will receive a door offering after
both services for Church of the Week.

something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave
me something to drink, I was a stranger and
you invited me in, I needed clothes and you
clothed me, I was sick and you looked after
me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
- Matthew 25:35-36
