Serve the Lord.
I. Not the Glory of His Holiness,
II. The Glory of the Cleansing Power of the Gospel
SERMON TEXT: Isaiah 6:1-8
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 So I said:
“Woe is me, for I am undone!
Because 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.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said:
“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.”
8 Also 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.” (NKJV)
PRAYER; THE LORD’S PRAYER
HYMN 395:1-4: O God, Thou Faithful God
1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fountain ever flowing,
Who good and perfect gifts In mercy art bestowing,
Give me a healthy frame, And may I have within
A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin!
2 Grant Thou me strength to do, With ready heart and willing
Whate’er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling;
And do it when I ought, With all my might, and bless
The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success.
3 Oh, let me never speak What bounds of truth exceedeth;
Grant that no idle word From out my mouth proceedeth;
And then, when in my place I must and ought to speak,
My words grant pow’r and grace Lest I offend the weak.
4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross When life is dark and cheerless;
And let me win my foe With words and actions kind.
When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find.
BENEDICTION
C: Amen.
HYMN 377:10: All Blessing Honor, Thanks, and Praise
10 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise To Father, Son, and Spirit,
The God who saved us by His grace– All glory to His merit!
O Triune God in heaven above, Who hast revealed Thy saving love;
Thy blessed name be hallowed.

THE GOSPEL LESSON: Luke 5:1-11
So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
