THE LESSONSThe People Sita reading From the hebrew ScriptureS iSaiah 6:1-8 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Master sitting on a throne—high, exalted!—and the train of his robes filled the Temple. Angel-seraphs hovered above him, each with six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two their feet, and with two they flew. And they called back and forth one to the other, Holy, Holy, Holy is God-of-the-Angel-Armies. His bright glory fills the whole earth. The foundations trembled at the sound of the angel voices, and then the whole house filled with smoke. I said, “Doom! It’s Doomsday! I’m as good as dead! Every word I’ve ever spoken is tainted—blasphemous even! And the people I live with talk the same way, using words that corrupt and desecrate. And here I’ve looked God in the face! The King! God-of-the-Angel-Armies!” Then one of the angel-seraphs flew to me. He held a live coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. He touched my mouth with the coal and said, “Look. This coal has touched your lips. Gone your guilt, your sins wiped out.” And then I heard the voice of the Master: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” I spoke up, “I’ll go. Send me!”

Lector The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

pSalm 138Remaining seated, the Lector and the People say the Psalm responsively

1 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; * before the gods I will sing your praise. 2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise your Name, * because of your love and faithfulness; 3 For you have glorified your Name * and your word above all things. 4 When I called, you answered me; * you increased my strength within me. 5 All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Lord, * when they have heard the words of your mouth. 6 They will sing of the ways of the Lord, * that great is the glory of the Lord. 7 Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly; * he perceives the haughty from afar. 8 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; * you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right hand shall save me. 9 The Lord will make good his purpose for me; * O Lord, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the works of your hands.

a reading From the new teStament

1 corinthianS 15:1-11Friends, let me go over the Message with you one final time— this Message that I proclaimed and that you made your own; this Message on which you took your stand and by which your life has been saved. (I’m assuming, now, that your belief was the real thing and not a passing fancy, that you’re in this for good and holding fast.) The first thing I did was place before you what was placed so emphatically before me: that the Messiah died for our sins, exactly as Scripture tells it; that he was buried; that he was raised from death on the third day, again exactly as Scripture says; that he presented himself alive to Peter, then to his closest followers, and later to more than five hundred of his followers all at the same time, most of them still around (although a few have since died); that he then spent time with James and the rest of those he commissioned to represent him; and that he finally presented himself alive to me. It was fitting that I bring up the rear. I don’t deserve to be included in that inner circle, as you well know, having spent all those early years trying my best to stamp God’s church right out of existence. But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste. Haven’t I worked hard trying to do more than any of the others? Even then, my work didn’t amount to all that much. It was God giving me the work to do, God giving me the energy to do it. So whether you heard it from me or from those others, it’s all the same: We spoke God’s truth and you entrusted your lives.

Lector The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

SEQUENCE HYMN “Be Thou My Vision, O Lord of My Heart” The Hymnal 488The People stand as able for the hymn and the GospelVerses 1-2 are sung before the Gospel and verse 3 is sung after the Gospel

THE HOLY GOSPELluke 5:1-11Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Once when he was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret, the crowd was pushing in on him to better hear the Word of God. He noticed two boats tied up. The fishermen had just left them and were out scrubbing their nets. He climbed into the boat that was Simon’s and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Sitting there, using the boat for a pulpit, he taught the crowd. When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, “Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch.” Simon said, “Master, we’ve been fishing hard all night and haven’t caught even a minnow. But if you say so, I’ll let out the nets.” It was no sooner said than done—a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity. They waved to their partners in the other boat to come help them. They filled both boats, nearly swamping them with the catch. Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell to his knees before Jesus. “Master, leave. I’m a sinner and can’t handle this holiness. Leave me to myself.” When they pulled in that catch of fish, awe overwhelmed Simon and everyone with him. It was the same with James and John, Zebedee’s sons, coworkers with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “There is nothing to fear. From now on you’ll be fishing for men and women.” They pulled their boats up on the beach, left them, nets and all, and followed him.

THE HOLY COMMUNIONOFFERTORY “Our Hope for Years to Come” Isaac Watts/Arr. Austin C. Lovelace

O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure;Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure.Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame,From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same.Thy Word commands our flesh to dust, “Return, ye sons of men”:All nations rose from earth at first, And turn to earth again.A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone;Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.The busy tribes of flesh and blood, With all their lives and cares,Are carried downwards by the flood, And lost in foll’wing years.Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away;They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the op’ning day.Like flow’ry fields the nations stand Pleased with the morning light;The flow’rs beneath the mower’s hand Lie with’ring ere ’tis night.O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,Be Thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home.
