12th January 2020 The baptism of our Lord
WELCOME to WORSHIP We’d like to get to know you more.
Please stay and have morning tea with us.
If you are here with us for the first time and would like to join us regularly, please fill in an information card on the back table.
Jesus’ Baptism
Jesus mission is to be understood in terms of righteousness or right relationship. The heavens are opened and Jesus sees God’s Spirit descending on him like a dove. Jesus wants to be fully identified with us, with humans, with those who are sinners, those who are marginalized, oppressed, pushed aside. He came to be with us in
every way.

Prayer for those affected by Drought & Fire
God our heavenly Father, we thank you for your grace that sustains the earth from day to day. We pray for those whose lives and living have been
impacted by the bushfires. We pray for those who are grieving loss of loved ones, property and animals.
We pray for your protection for those who continue to fight the fires. In your word you promise to keep those who seek you.
Send us, we pray, in this time of need, rain to water the earth, that we may receive its produce to strengthen and sustain us. We pray for your
mercy and grace through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer of the Day: Spirit of energy and change, in whose power Jesus was anointed to be the hope of the nations: be poured out also upon us without reserve or distinction, that we may have confidence and strength to implant your justice on the earth; through Jesus Christ. Amen
Isaiah 42: 1-9
1 Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. 2 He will not cry or lift up his voice,
or make it heard in the street; 3 a bruised reed he will not break,
and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. 4 He will not grow faint or be crushed
until he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his teaching. 5 Thus says God, the Lord ,
who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk in it: 6 I am the Lord , I have called you in righteousness,
I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, 7 to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. 8 I am the Lord , that is my name;
my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to idols. 9 See, the former things have come to pass,
and new things I now declare; before they spring forth, I tell you of them.
Psalm 29 Page 248 APBA

Acts 10: 34- 43
34 Then Peter began to speak to them: ‘I truly understand
that God shows no partiality, 35
but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36
You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all.
37 That
message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced:
38 how God anoint-
ed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 We are
witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusa-lem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree;
40 but
God raised him on the third day and allowed him to ap-pear,
41 not to all the people but to us who were chosen by
God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 He commanded us to preach to
the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead.
43 All the prophets
testify about him that everyone who believes in him re-ceives forgiveness of sins through his name.’ Matthew 3:13- 17
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to
be baptized by him. 14
John would have prevented him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?’
15 But Jesus answered him, ‘Let it be so now; for it is
proper for us in this way to fulfil all righteousness.’ Then he consented.
16 And when Jesus had been baptized, just as
he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.
17 And a voice from heav-
en said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.’
