Sermon Epiphany 5 – All about grace and an unusual book

What if you found a book owned by a dear family friend in a center of learning hundreds of miles from where you knew her? Here is Catherine’s sermon on the 5th Sunday after the Epiphany, the book that inspired the sermon and the common thread with the scriptures this week – grace
“Grace shows off God’s eternal generosity, love and care for us. And God’s gifts of grace come to us in the ordinary commonplace things in our lives, like books for me, and fish for Simon Peter.”

The readings for this Sunday explore several persons of faith who have answered God’s call to them. The Old Testament recounts the call of Isaiah as god’s prophet and his response. Paul summarizes the gospel and reminds the Corinthians of their calling through the resurrected Christ. In the gospel, we read how Jesus calls Peter to be his disciple.
