Calling Song “Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore” UMH #344

Responsive Reading from Psalm 71

Leader: In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
People: Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me.
Leader: Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go;
People: For you have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth.
All: My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.
​

Unison Invocation
O God, we believe that you revealed your good news in Jesus, the Christ. 
Help us see beyond ourselves this morning, that by proclaiming your grace to all nations and singing of your hope to all peoples, we may become one living body, your incarnate presence on the earth. Amen.

Chorus “Humble Thyself in the Sight of the Lord” TFWS #2131

Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord
Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord
And He shall lift you up (higher and higher)
And He shall lift you up
And He shall lift you up (up into heaven)

And He shall lift you up

Old Testament Reading - Jeremiah 1: 4-10
New Testament Reading - 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13

Message “Let’s Go Fishing” The Chosen – Episode 4 - Luke 5: 1-11

Let me introduce you to someone who has influenced my life.

He lived a long time ago. His name was Simon. He had a brother named Andrew. His father’s name was John. He made his living as a commercial fisherman. He lived in Capernaum, a town on the Sea of Galilee’s western shore.

Simon was an early follower of Jesus and was chosen by Jesus to be one of the original twelve
apostles. Jesus gave him a nickname: Peter (Greek) or Cephas (Hebrew). These words mean rock in English.

These Bible verses will help you learn a little more about this man who has deeply influenced your pastor. Underline his name when you find it.
• John 1:35-42
• Luke 5:1-11
• Luke 6:12-16
• John 13:1-9
• Matthew 26:31-35
• John 18:15-18 and 25-27

These episodes describe some highs and lows in the relationship between Jesus and Simon.
Perhaps Simon Peter’s influence on me stems from his “out front” leadership and his willingness to admit his failures. He seems to be the person who most blessed and exasperated Jesus.

Simon’s early encounters with Jesus are the focus of today’s worship service. It is a story highlighting some things that distracted Simon. It is a story that shows how wrongly we can interpret God’s activity. It is a story that identifies the importance of repentance and obedience.

My prayerful hope is that Simon Peter becomes a positive influence in your Christian pilgrimage.
Pastor Jim

PS – Next Sunday (February 6) will take us to a wedding feast in Cana. You can read about it by
turning to John 2:1-12. Oh yes, bring a wedding picture for display. This should be fun.

Commitment Chorus “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” TFWS #2129
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.

Tho' none go with me, I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me, I still will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.

My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus;
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus,
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus;
No turning back, No turning back.

The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
no turning back, no turning back.


Unison Benediction
May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.

Postlude “March from the 5th Symphony” by Ludwig van Beethoven
