The annual focus for Advent 2018 to Christ the King 2019.
A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Called by the Gospel (Page 2)
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…
We open up our next sermon series, “The Character in our Calling” by talking about the time when Jesus points out the judgmentalism of the Pharisees. Sermon Scripture: Luke 14:1–14 One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully. And behold, there was a…
We continue our Valued series by looking at the concepts of anxiety and faith. Sermon Scriptures: Luke 12:22–34 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and…
We talk about value, what is valuable to us, and how we work out the parable of the Rich Fool. Scripture: Luke 12:13–21 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?”…
We talk about what was happening when Jesus gave His disciples His Words of prayer, the Lord’s Prayer, and what those words mean for us today. Sermon Scripture: Luke 11:1–13 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as…
We continue our “valued” series by taking a look at the story of the Good Samaritan, but almost ignoring the Samaritan character and focusing on the character who is really important to Jesus, the young lawyer. Sermon Scripture: Luke 10:25–37 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall…
We continue our “Valued” series on discipleship by considering the singleminded discipleship that we are called to while considering the singleminded salvation that Jesus won for us. Sermon Scripture: Luke 9:51–62 When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead…
We kick off our “Valued” sermon series by talking about the first (but not last) step in our discipleship as we consider the sins and the evil that we need God to remove from our lives just as Jesus expelled demons from people. Sermon Scripture: Luke 8:26–39 Then they sailed to the country of the…
We celebrate Holy Trinity Sunday by talking about how God is distinctly different from us, but who still treats us as a Father.
We finish our “Call and Response” series by talking about how we can read Numbers 11 perhaps a little differently and how that might give us some insight into the Pentecost event.
