A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Lectionary Year A (Page 3)
We continue our series about who we are in relation to certain Biblical characters, in relation to our fellow disciples, and in relation to Jesus. Today we talk about Lazarus and how his entombment shows us our own (during quarantine and out), and how Jesus calls us out into true life. Sermon Scripture: John 11:1–45…
We start the Sundays of Lent and a new sermon series called “In Relation To” where we examine the non-disciple characters in Matthew’s Gospel and look at what they tell us about being disciples, starting today with the big bad guy himself, Satan Sermon Scripture: Matthew 4:1–11 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit…
We talk about how Jesus ramps up the effect of the Law and how that’s actually a good thing because it assures us that our salvation is only possible by His grace. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:17–37 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to…
We talk a little bit about the product of Christianity and what it is that God is offering to the world in His Son.
We start off our MADE sermon series talking about how we are made to Behold Jesus and to celebrate the relationship we have with Him, how He invites us to “Come and see” Him and where He is. Sermon Scripture: John 1:29–42 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the…

We finish up Advent by talking about Joseph and how Jesus is the ultimate Christmas character. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 1:18–25 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.…
We celebrate the 3rd Sunday of Advent and look at the connection between excitement and patience as we wait for Christmas and the return of Jesus in the Resurrection. Sermon Scripture: Isaiah 35 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly…
We talk about the role of our imaginations in our following Jesus and how even our imaginations can fail us when we are thinking about the good things that God gives us. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 3:1–12 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven…
We kick off our annual focus talking about how exciting it is to hear God in Jesus call us into discipleship. Sermon Scripture: Isaiah 2:1–5 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the…
