Prayer of the Day Thanks be to you, Lord Jesus Christ, most merciful redeemer, for the countless blessings and benefits you give. May we know you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly, day by day praising you, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. First Reading: 1 Samuel 3: 1-20 1Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. The word of the Lord was rare in those days; visions were not widespread. 2At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his room; 3the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. 4Then the Lord called, “Samuel! Samuel!” and he said, “Here I am!” 5and ran to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” So he went and lay down. 6The Lord called again, “Samuel!” Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. 8The Lord called Samuel again, a third time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy. 9Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.” [11Then the Lord said to Samuel, “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle. 12On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 13For I have told him that I am about to punish his house forever, for the iniquity that he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God, and he did not restrain them. 14Therefore I swear to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be expiated by sacrifice or offering forever.” 15Samuel lay there until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli. 16But Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” He said, “Here I am.” 17Eli said, “What was it that he told you? Do not hide it from me. May God do so to you and more also, if you hide anything from me of all that he told you.” 18So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. Then he said, “It is the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.” 19As Samuel grew up, the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. 20And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was a trustworthy prophet of the Lord.] 1Lord, you have searched me out; O Lord, you have known me. 2You know my sitting down and my rising up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3You trace my journeys and my resting-places and are acquainted with all my ways. 4Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, but you, O Lord, know it altogether. 5You encompass me, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain to it. 13For you yourself created my inmost parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14I will thank you because I am marvelously made; your works are wonderful, and I know it well. 15My body was not hidden from you, while I was being made in secret and woven in the depths of the earth. 16Your eyes beheld my limbs, yet unfinished in the womb; all of them were written in your book; my days were fashioned before they came to be. 17How deep I find your thoughts, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18If I were to count them, they would be more in number than the sand; to count them all, my life span would need to be like yours. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 6: 12-20 12“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food,” and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is meant not for fornication but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power. 15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, “The two shall be one flesh.” 17But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against the body itself. 19Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body. 43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.” 46 Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get to know me?” Jesus answered, “I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.” 49 Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And he said to him, “Very truly, I tell you,[a] you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” Sermon – Bishop Kristen Kuempel (see full worship service on Youtube) Prayers of Intercession Guided by Christ made known to the nations, let us offer our prayers for the church, the world, and all people in need. A brief silence. For the body of Christ gathered throughout the world and for all servants of the gospel, that following Jesus, the church lives out its calling every day, let us pray. Have mercy, O God. For the well-being of creation, for plants and animals, and for all that God has marvelously made, that we serve as wise stewards of Earth, our home, let us pray. Have mercy, O God. For police officers and firefighters, for attorneys and paralegals, for peacekeepers and military personnel, and for the leaders of governments, that they provide protection to all people, especially the most vulnerable, let us pray. Have mercy, O God. For those lacking food or shelter, for those who are sick or grieving, and for those who are imprisoned or homebound (especially), that God console all who suffer, let us pray. Have mercy, O God. For our neighborhood, for visitors joining us for the first time or returning, and for those absent from our assembly, that all who seek to know God are nourished by word and sacrament, let us pray. Have mercy, O God. Here other intercessions may be offered. In thanksgiving for the saints who have gone before us (especially Antony and Pachomius, renewers of the church), that their lives give us a vision of the gospel in action, let us pray. Have mercy, O God. Merciful God, hear the prayers of your people, spoken or silent, for the sake of the one who dwells among us, your Son, Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

1 शमूएल अध्याय 3 एलीको अधीनमा रहेर बालक शमूएलले परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्थे। त्यस बेला परमप्रभु मानिसहरूसंग सिधै धेरै जस्तो बोल्नुहुन्थेन। उहाँले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई दर्शनहरू दिनु भएन। 2 एली लगभग अन्धा जस्तै भइसकेका थिए। एक रात तिनी ओछ्यानमा पल्टिरहेका थिए। 3 शमूएल चाहि पवित्र सन्दूक भएको परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा सुतिरहेका थिए। परमप्रभुको बत्ती जलिरहेकै थियो। 4 परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई बोलाउनु भयो। “म यहाँ हाजीर छु” शमूएलले उत्तर दिए। 5 शमूएलले सोचे एलीले उसलाई बोलाएको यसकारण शमूएल हतारीएर एलीकहाँ गए। शमूएलले आफ्नो उपस्थिति जाहेर गरेर भने, “तपाईंले मलाई बोलाउनुभयो, म यहाँ छु।”तर एलीले भने, “मैले तिमीलाई बोलाएको होइन। आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा गएर सुत”शमूएल आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा गए। 6 परमप्रभुले फेरि बोलाउनु भयो, “शमूएल!” शमूएल फेरि एलीको ओछ्यानमा गएर भने, “तपाईंले मलाई बोलाउनु भएको हो, म यहाँ छु।” एलीले भने, “मैले बोलाएको छैन मेरो छोरा! जाऊ, गएर सुत।” 7 अहिलेसम्म शमूएलले व्यक्तिगत रूपमा परमप्रभुलाई चिनेका थिएनन्। परमप्रभुले शमूएल सँग सिधै बातचित गर्नु भएको थिएन। 8 परमप्रभुले शमूललाई तेस्रो चोटि बोलाउनु भयो। शमूएल उठेर फेरि एलीको छेउ पुगे। शमूएलले भने, “म यहाँ छु, तपाईंले मलाई बोलाउँनु भयो।”त्यत्तिबेला भने एलीले बुझे कि परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई बोलाउँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो। 9 एलीले शमूएललाई भने, “ओछ्यानमा जाऊ! यदि फेरि बेलाउँनु भयो भने भन्नु, ‘परमप्रभु भन्नुहोस्। म तपाईंको दास हुँ र तपाईंले भन्नु भएको सुन्दैछु।”‘यसकारण शमूएल ओछ्यानमा गए। 10 परमप्रभु त्यहाँ प्रकट हुनुभयो र पहिलेको जस्तै बोलाउनु भयो, “शमूएल, शमूएल!”शमूएलले भने, “भन्नुहोस्! परमप्रभु म तपाईंको दास हुँ अनि सुन्दैछु।” 11 परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई भन्नुभयो, “म इस्राएलमा केही अचम्मको काम गर्नेछु। जसले यस विषयमा सुन्छ तिनीहरू साह्रै अचम्मीत हुनेछन्। 12 मैले एली र त्यसको परिवारको विरूद्धमा जे जे गर्छु भनेको थिएँ ती सब गर्नेछु। म शुरू देखि अन्त्यसम्म सबै गर्नेछु। 13 मैले एलीलाई भनेकै छु कि म त्यसको परिवारलाई सधैंको लागि दण्ड दिनेछु। म त्यसो यसकारणले गर्दैछु भनि एलीलाई थाह छ। त्यसका छोराहरूले परमेश्वरलाई निन्दा गरे अनि उहाँसित खराब आचरण गरे। तर उसले तिनीहरूलाई शिक्षा दिएनन्। 14 यसैकारण मैले एलीको परिवारलाई श्राप दिएको छु कि बलिभेटी र अन्नबलिले तिनीहरूलाई पापबाट छुटकारा दिन सक्दैनन्।” 15 बिहानसम्म शमूएल आफ्नो ओछ्यानमै पल्टिरहे उज्यालो हुन साथ झट्पट् उठेर परमप्रभुका मन्दिरका ढोकाहरू खोले। दर्शनको विषयमा एलीलाई भन्न तिनी डराएका थिए। 16 तर एलीले नै शमूएललाई भने, “शमूएल, मेरो छोरा।”शमूएलले जवाफ दिए, “भन्नुहोस्, म यहाँ छु।” 17 एलीले सोधे, “परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई के भन्नु भयो! मलाई लुकाउने काम छैन। यदि परमेश्वरको सन्देश सबैलाई नभनेर लुकायो भने परमेश्वरले दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ।” 18 शमूएलले केही पनि नलुकाई सबै बताए। शमूएलले एलीबाट केही पनि लुकाएनन् एलीले भने, “उहाँ परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँलाई जे इच्छा लाग्छ त्यसै गर्नुहुन्छ।” 19 शमूएल अझ ठूलो हुँदै गए। परमप्रभु शमूएलसित हुनु हुन्थ्यो। परमप्रभुले शमूएलको कुनै सन्देशलाई पनि झूटो हुने मौका दिनुभएन। 20 त्यसबेला सारा इस्राएलका, (दान देखि बेर्शेबा सम्मका) मानिसहरूले शमूएल परमप्रभुका साँचो अगमवक्ता भएको चाल पाए। 21 शीलोमा परमप्रभु शमूएलकहाँ प्रकट हुनु भयो। उहाँ आफै शमूएलको अघि परमप्रभुको वचन जस्तै प्रकट हुनु भयो।
