Amen.

God’s Word for Today

Isaiah 6:1-8

¹In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. ²Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. ³And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” ⁴And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. ⁵And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” ⁶Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. ⁷And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” ⁸And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

1 Corinthians 14:12b-20

^12bSince you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church. ¹³Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret. ¹⁴For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. ¹⁵What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also. ¹⁶Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say “Amen” to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? ¹⁷For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up. ¹⁸I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. ¹⁹Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. ²⁰Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.

Luke 5:1-11

¹On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on [Jesus] to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, ²and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. ³Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. ⁴And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” ⁵And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” ⁶And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. ⁷They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. ⁸But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” ⁹For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, ¹⁰and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” ¹¹And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

The Lutheran Hour   Christian Radio Program, KMJ 580 Sunday 7:00 a.m., KPRL 1230 Sunday 7:05 a.m., KKMC 880 Sunday 9:00 a.m. Feb 14: “A Faithful Savior”  Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus   In the midst of life’s disappointments, both large and small, we might overlook God’s love and the price Christ paid to redeem us. (Hebrews 3:1-2)

Why Stephen Ministry?   We have many needs for care in our congregation and community: people experiencing divorce, grief, terminal illness, loss of a job, relocation, empty nest, retirement, hospitalization, loneliness, and many other stresses and challenges. Often people with needs suffer silently or do not request or receive the level of care they really need. With only two pastors for a congregation of over 250 members, you can quickly see why it would be impossible for our pastors to meet the needs of every person. Stephen Ministry expands the care Trinity can offer by equipping and organizing members to provide care. This gives us a larger pool of people with gifts, skills, and calling to bring Christ's love and care to those who need it most.

Stewardship Corner: His Love, Our Response                   1 Corinthians 14:12b-20: As God’s redeemed stewards we are not all equipped for the same kinds of service, but we are all equipped in special ways to serve as God desires. This truth should be an incentive for us to discover and use our spiritual gifts in God-pleasing ways that benefit others as well as us.

(If you know that a particular person still needs prayers, please call the church office monthly, and we will place that person’s name back on the list.)

For all the soldiers fighting for our freedom: we pray for our nation, our leaders, for the persecuted church, our enemies, and for peace in our nation and the world.

A Prayer for India   Jesus, we pray that in our lifetimes we will witness the salvation of hundreds of millions of lost souls throughout India. We cannot imagine not knowing you personally; not knowing that you sent your Son to die for our sins; or not knowing that we will enjoy eternity with you! Show us today how we can bring this Good News to ALL the people.  Amen.
