A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Called by the Gospel (Page 4)
We start off our Lent series “REDIAL” by talking about who we rely upon, and how the story of Jesus’ temptation is really the story of Jesus’ reliance. Sermon Scripture: Luke 4:1–13 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days,…
We finish out Missio Dei sermon series with the Sunday of Transfiguration and talking about who Moses was and what that has to do with us and our sense of who we are in God’s kingdom. Sermon Scripture: Luke 9:28–36 Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and…
We talk about Black Mirror and forgiveness, and how our connection with the Resurrection does some pretty strange things in our lives. Sermon Scripture: Luke 6:27–38 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To…
We continue talking about the Mission of God by talking about how we can check for the Resurrection power at work in our lives and why we shouldn’t cut that power off. Sermon Scripture: Luke 6:20–26 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours…

We talk about our expectations and God’s expectations and how those things come together in our readings, especially the reading that we have from the Gospel of John where Jesus turns water into wine. Sermon Scripture: John 2:1–12 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus…
What do you have trouble seeing around? That’s the big question that we talk about today as we look at the story of Jesus’ baptism from the Gospel of Luke and all of the things that needed clarity, and how our lives can benefit from God’s clarity as well as we think about our vocations.…
We finish up the Christmas season and our “Christmas Calling” series talking about Simeon, waiting, and how the promise of the Resurrection changes our waiting. Sermon Scripture: Luke 2:22–40 And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as…
