A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Luke (Page 3)
We finish the Church year and celebrate the confirmation of Molly by considering ends and beginnings and how we understand those things as Christians. Sermon Scripture: Luke 23:27–43 And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters…
We talk about the “small” subject of the meaning of life and begin to wrap up our Annual Focus year in which we have been talking about the big idea of “vocation”. Sermon Scripture: Luke 21:1–28 Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor…
Today we talk about the readings for the day which are all about our connection with God and how we sometimes try to ignore His call to our own detriment. Sermon Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers,…
We start off a new sermon series today, “Believing the Call” with talking about how we may misconstrue God for our adversary instead of who He has promised to be, our Father. Sermon Scripture: Luke 18:1–8 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.…

We talk about God’s character of transparency and clarity. God gives us what we need to know clearly, so that we can speak with clarity about His Law, but more importantly, with clarity about His Gospel. Sermon Scripture: Luke 16:19–31 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who…
We worry about what is fair because we think that we are fair, but in reality, Jesus shows us that we are all the recipients of unfair wealth being given to us out of His gracious life. Sermon Scripture: Luke 16:1–13 He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a…
We talk about the character of a God who seeks out the lost and how that really makes for a different kind of faith that we have together as Christians when compared with other ways of looking at the world – we get excited about redemption. Sermon Scripture: Luke 15:1–10 Now the tax collectors and…
We talk about integrity and how we are called to integrity, but how Jesus’ integrity covers us even when ours is lacking. Sermon Scripture: Luke 14:25–35 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and…
