The Lectionary According to the Christian Seasons

Isaiah 6

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried unto 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 moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, "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 mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."

6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. 7 And he laid it upon my mouth and said, "Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged." 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then said I, "Here am I. Send me!"

9 And He said, "Go, and tell this people:

"'Hear ye indeed, but understand not;
and see ye indeed, but perceive not.'
10 Make the heart of this people fat,
and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes;
lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears,
and understand with their heart, and convert and be healed."
11 Then said I, "Lord, how long?" And He answered, "Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man,
and the land be utterly desolate,
12 and the LORD have removed men far away,
and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

13 "But yet in it shall be a tenth,
and it shall return and shall be eaten,
as a teil tree and as an oak whose substance is in them when they cast their leaves:
so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof."

Psalm 138

1 I will praise Thee with my whole heart;
before the gods will I sing praise unto Thee.
2 I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise Thy name for Thy lovingkindness and for Thy truth,
for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.
3 In the day when I cried, Thou answered me,
and strengthened me with strength in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise Thee, O LORD,
when they hear the words of Thy mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD,
for great is the glory of the LORD.
6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath He respect unto the lowly,
but the proud He knoweth afar off.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
Thou wilt revive me;
Thou shalt stretch forth Thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies,
and Thy right hand shall save me.

8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me;
Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the works of Thine own hands.

1 Corinthians 15:1-11 

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which you also have received, and wherein ye stand, 2 by which ye also are saved if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you-- unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve, 6 and that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8 And last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all -- yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 

Words of Worship - Matthew 4:19b

"Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

Luke 5:1-11

1 And it came to pass that, as the people pressed upon Him to hear the Word of God, He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen were gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 And He entered 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 people from the boat. 4 Now when He was through speaking, He said unto Simon,

"Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draft."

5 And Simon answering said unto Him, "Master, we have toiled all the night and have taken nothing. Nevertheless, at Thy word I will let down the net." 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net began to break. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, who were in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." 9 For he was astonished, and all those who were with him, at the draft of the fishes which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon,

"Fear not. From henceforth thou shalt catch men."

11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

Words of Wisdom - Ecclesiasticus 7:24 

Hast thou daughters? Have concern for their chastity, 
and show not thyself indulgent toward them.

"Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock. And the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.
