A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 6: 1–8
read by Sue Ann Elite
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a
throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple.
Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with
two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their

3. feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of
his glory.” The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of
those who called, and the house filled with smoke. And I said:
“Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live
among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the
King, the Lord of hosts!” Then one of the seraphs flew to me,
holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair
of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: “Now
that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your
sin is blotted out.” Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here
am I; send me!”
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 29 (sung)
Ascribe to the LORD, you gods, *
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his Name; *
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters / the God of glory
thunders; *
the LORD is upon the mighty waters.
The voice of the LORD is a powerful voice; *
the voice of the LORD is a voice of splendor.
The voice of the LORD breaks the cedar trees; *
the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, *
and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

4. The voice of the LORD splits the flames of fire / the voice of
the LORD shakes the wilderness; *
the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the LORD makes the oak trees writhe *
and strips the forests bare.
And in the temple of the LORD *
all are crying, “Glory!”
The LORD sits enthroned above the flood; *
the LORD sits enthroned as King for evermore.
The LORD shall give strength to his people; *
the LORD shall give his people the blessing of peace.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
world without end Amen.
A READING FROM PAUL’S LETTER TO THE ROMANS 8:12–17
Read by Darryl Nakamoto
So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to
live according to the flesh—for if you live according to the
flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the
deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the
Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a
spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a
spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very
Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of
God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs
with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also
be glorified with him.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People.
Thanks be to God.

Choir: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Cantor: The Lord shall give strength to his people: the

according to John 3: 1-17.
All: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the
Jews. He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we
know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one
can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God.”
Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the
kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus
said to him, “How can anyone be born after having grown old?
Can one enter a second time into the mother’s womb and be
born?” Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter
the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.
What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit
is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘You must be
born from above.’ The wind blows where it chooses, and you
hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from
or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the
Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?”
Jesus answered him, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you
do not understand these things? Very truly, I tell you, we speak
of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do
not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things
and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about
heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the

6. one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as
Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son
of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have
eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only
Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but
may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the
world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might
be saved through him.”
Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
