Jay Winters is the pastor at University Lutheran
A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons by Jay Winters (Page 26)
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…
We begin a new series called Enduring Faith, a study that goes through the details of some of the most prominent stories of the Bible. We didn’t get all the way there today, but all together we were going over the following Scripture: Genesis 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.…
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 took a break from our regular Bible study to play “Stump the Pastor”. We talk about heresies and cults, about different ways of reading the Bible, and processing through some of our previous series on Idols.
We wrap up our “Valued” sermon series talking about the hardest thing we could do, and how the hardest thing we can do is follow Jesus on the narrow way, but that He makes it accessible to us, and personalizes it to us. Sermon Scripture: Luke 13:22–30 He went on his way through towns and…
We continue talking about idols, this time talking about the idols that we consume – things like technology, food, and shopping. Click here for handout for 4 Idols – Consumables
We talk about why Jesus seems to be excited about something that seems horrible to us, the division of families, but when we look deeper, we see that Jesus is showing us something deeper than even our family lives. Sermon Scripture: Luke 12:49–53 “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it…
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 continue our Sunday morning education hour explorations of idols looking mostly at a definition of idolatry, but then getting into the idols of family and relationships. Click here for today’s handout from Idols (3) – Familiar Idols
