One thing have I desired of the Lord... that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life...Psalm 27:4

Simply the Sermon for February 9, 2025: "Called Despite Our Imperfections"

The fifth Sunday after Epiphany continues to highlight unlikely people being used and odd circumstances surrounding how God's glory will be revealed. Our texts are Isaiah 6:1-13, 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, and Luke 5:1-11.

“Who will go for us?” God asks. The ones who answer God's call are a person of unclean lips, a person who used to threaten and abuse the members of the church of God, and three fishermen who couldn’t catch a thing. More surprising still, perhaps, is that we are also called.
