Fifth Sunday After Epiphany

February 10, 2019

The fifth Sunday after Epiphany continues to highlight unlikely instruments and circumstances

appointed to reveal the glory of the Lord. “Who will go for us?” queries the voice of the Lord. A

man of unclean lips, a former persecutor of the church of God, and three fishermen who couldn’t

catch a thing. More surprising still, perhaps, is the fact that we are also called.

Inspired by Christ,

living and growing in faith,

we are a loving and open community

of worship, witness, and service in God’s world.

Gathering Following the call of God’s Spirit, the community of faith gathers,

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring J. S. Bach

Psalm 138

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing

your praise.

I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise your name,

because of your steadfast love and faithfulness;

When I called, you answered me; you increased my strength within me.

All the rulers of the earth will praise you, O LORD, when they have

heard the words of your mouth.

They will sing of the ways of the LORD, that great is the glory of the LORD.

The LORD is high, yet cares for the lowly, perceiving the haughty from

afar.

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.

You will make good your purpose for me; O LORD, your steadfast love

endures forever; do not abandon the works of your hands.

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

Rise, Shine, You People! ELW #665

P: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of

the Holy Spirit be with you all.

C: And also with you.

1 Corinthians

15:1-11

Paul delivers in a

nutshell the story

of the gospel that

was given to him.

In the lineage of

the Christian faith,

we have received

the good news of

God’s love from

generations of

believers before

us, and we

continue to tell

this story to the

world.

Seek Ye First

Reading 1Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed

to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, 2through which also you

are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless

you have come to believe in vain. 3For I handed on to you as of first importance

what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the

scriptures, 4and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in

accordance with the scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

6Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most

of whom are still alive, though some have died. 7Then he appeared to James, then to

all the apostles. 8Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

9For I

am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the

church of God. 10

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me

has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them—though it

was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11

Whether then it was I or they, so

we proclaim and so you have come to believe.

R Word of God, Word of Life.

C: Thanks be to God.

Please stand as

you are able.

Luke 5:1-11

Jesus’ teaching of

God’s word has

begun to draw

great crowds. For

Simon, James, and

John, Jesus’

teaching inspires

hospitality, then

obedience, and

then risk. After

Jesus’ creative

power is revealed,

fear and

amazement lead

these three

fishermen to leave

everything behind

in order to become

apostles.

Hallelujah Caribbean

P: The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, the fifth chapter.

C: Glory to you, O Lord. 1Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was

pressing in on him to hear the word of God, 2he saw two boats there at the shore of

the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3He got

into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little

way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4When

he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let

down your nets for a catch.” 5Simon answered, “Master, we have worked all night

long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.” 6When

they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. 7So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they

came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 8But when Simon Peter saw it,

he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful

man!” 9For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they

had taken; 10and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners

with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be

catching people.” 11When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything

and followed him.

P: The Gospel of our Lord.

C: Praise to you, O Christ.

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried;

he descended to the dead.*

On the third day he rose again;

he ascended into heaven,

he is seated at the right hand of the Father,

and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

Sermon Following the sermon, we will take a moment of silence to reflect on today’s gospel message.
