1 Third Sunday after Epiphany Contemporary Worship 9:00 and 10:45 am January 21, 2018

2 Welcome to Trinity Lutheran Church! Please sign the red Worship Witness booklet to record your attendance with us this day, and indicate how many are communing. Then pass the booklet to the worshipers beside you in your row. If you are a guest, name tags are available for you to wear---we would be delighted to greet you by name. Hearing assistance devices are available at the Gathering Space desk. about today s service Stories of the call to discipleship continue as the Time after Epiphany plays out the implications of our baptismal calling to show Christ to the world. Jesus begins proclaiming the good news and calling people to repentance right after John the Baptist is arrested for preaching in a similar way. Knowing that John was later executed, we see at the very outset the cost of discipleship. Still, the two sets of fisherman brothers leave everything they have known and worked for all their lives to follow Jesus and fish for people. P: Pastor L: Lector C: Congregation + Gathering + We gather together to praise God and receive His love.

5 P: Loving God, C: we confess that we have turned from your way to follow our own ways.

(Sit) + Word + We listen to the story of God s mighty acts for the sake of His people. First Reading Jonah 3:1-5, 10 The book of Jonah is a comedy starring a reluctant prophet who is given a onesentence message: Nineveh will be destroyed in forty days. Much to Jonah s dismay, the people of Nineveh repent. The point of the story is to get the reader to wrestle with the question On whom should God have mercy? 1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, 2 Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you. 3 So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three days walk across. 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day s walk. And he cried out, Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown! 5 And the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great and - 5 -

6 small, put on sackcloth. 10 When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it. L: The word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. Children s Story (Stand) Gospel Acclamation: Celtic Alleluia Gospel Mark 1:14-20 Before Jesus calls his first disciples, he proclaims a message that becomes known as the gospel or good news from God. God is ready to rule our lives. Those who realize this will respond with repentance and faith. 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, 15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news. 16 As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, Follow me and I will make you fish for people. 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him. P: The gospel of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. (Sit) Sermon: You Have Come Down to the Lakeshore Pastor Bob Driver-Bishop

10 In the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave thanks; broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take and eat; this is my body, given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me. Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.
