  made us a strife to our neighbors,And our
  enemies laugh among themselves.
• 7 Restore us, O God of hostsCause Your face to
  shine,And we shall be saved!

15
Fourth Sunday of Advent

• Leader Loves memory is long. As we come to the
  last Sunday of Advent, we recall the many times
  we have been here before with still so much to do
  and so much love left unexpressed. The Hebrew
  Bible lesson today recalls a promise to King
  David, which the church has often understood to
  be fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. Loves
  promise is often kept in unexpected ways.
•  
• People Gods love endures forever. In a world
  where even evergreens turn dry and brittle, Gods
  love is the one reality on which we can rely.
  Today we prepare for the greatest expression of
  that love, as we listen once more for the Word in
  the words.

16
The Old Testament

• Isaiah 637-9
• 7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of
  the LordAnd the praises of the Lord,According
  to all that the Lord has bestowed on us,And the
  great goodness toward the house of Israel,Which
  He has bestowed on them according to His
  mercies,According to the multitude of His
  lovingkindnesses.8 For He said, Surely
  they are My people,Children who will not
  lie.So He became their Savior.

17
Fourth Sunday of Advent

• Leader Gods love endures forever. Through acts
  as simple and common as the birth of a baby, God
  transforms the world, and Gods promises are
• kept. It is that expression of faithful love we
  anticipate and celebrate this day. It is that
  promise that brings light to our deepest night.
•  
• People So, as we light the fourth candle in
  eager anticipation of Gods greatest promise
  fulfilled, what else can we do but name this
  candle Love?

18
The Prayer of Confession

• Almighty God, Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
  maker of all things, judge of all men, we
  acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and
  wickedness, which we from time to time most
  grievously have committed, by thought, word and
  deed, against thy Divine Majesty, provoking most
  justly Thy wrath and indignation against us.

19
The Prayer of Confession

• We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry
  for these our misdoings, the remembrance of them
  is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have
  mercy upon us most merciful Father for Thy Son
  our Lord, Jesus Christs sake, forgive us all
  that is past, and grant that we may hereafter
  serve and please Thee in the newness of life, to
  the honor and glory of Thy name, through Jesus
  Christ our Lord. Amen.

  water,And righteousness like a mighty stream.

• 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of

  division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters
  of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they
  were both righteous before God, walking in all
  the commandments and ordinances of the Lord
  blameless. 7 But they had no child, because
  Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well
  advanced in years.
• 8 So it was, that while he was serving as priest
  before God in the order of his division, 9 accordi
  ng to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell
  to burn incense when he went into the temple of
  the Lord. 10 And the whole multitude of the
  people was praying outside at the hour of incense.

27
The New Testament

• Luke 15-13 (NKJV)
• 11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him,
  standing on the right side of the altar of
  incense. 12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was
  troubled, and fear fell upon him.
• 13 But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid,
  Zacharias, for your prayer is heard and your
  wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall
  call his name John.
