Invocation
Confession and Forgiveness:
P: As we come to worship, we come to receive the good gifts of our Father in Heaven and then respond with our thanksgiving and praise.  Let us begin by confessing our sins and being forgiven and cleansed of our sins through the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(a time of silence to reflect and personally confess our sins)
C: Heavenly Father, we confess that we have sinned against You by what we have done and what we have left undone.  We have not loved our neighbor as ourselves.  We have not lived as those who bear your name in baptism.  However, we are truly sorry for our sins and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy Name. Amen
P: The Word of God teaches that we are all conceived and born sinful and are under the power of the devil until Christ claims us as His own.  We would be lost forever unless delivered from sin, death, and everlasting condemnation.  But the Father of all mercy and grace has sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who atoned for the sin of the whole world, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.  Therefore, I announce the grace of God to 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.
Songs of Praise and Worship Come Thou Fount 
Reckless Love
Old Testament Reading -  Is. 43:1–7
  But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob,     he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;     I have called you by name, you are mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;     and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,     and the flame shall not consume you. 3 For I am the Lord your God,     the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom,     Cush and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes,     and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you,     peoples in exchange for your life. Fear not, for I am with you;     I will bring your offspring from the east,     and from the west I will gather you. I will say to the north, Give up,     and to the south, Do not withhold; bring my sons from afar     and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name,     whom I created for my glory,     whom I formed and made."
Epistle Reading -  Rom. 6:1–11
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 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.
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. 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. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Sermon Hymn - Just As I Am - I Come Broken
Sermon - Numbered Among the Sinners
Luke 3:15–22
As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ, 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 fire. 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."
So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. 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, added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison.
Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."
