Sermons by Jay Winters (Page 27)
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 continue our series in our education hour called “Idols” this week. “Idols” is conversant with the new book by David Zahl, “Seculosity” which is an examination of our cultural idols and things that get in the way of our following God. Today we discuss our occupational idols, things that keep us busy. These include…
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 spent time this morning going through the business passed at our National Convention for our church body.

We’re starting a new series in our education hour called “Idols” this week. “Idols” is conversant with the new book by David Zahl, “Seculosity” which is an examination of our cultural idols and things that get in the way of our following God.

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…
In between our Bible study series we stop and play “Stump the Pastor,” which is an opportunity for people to voice questions that they have about the Bible, faith, the Church and anything else that they feel Pastor Jay might need to know. This time we talk about sex scandals, clergy shortage, and much much…
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 finish our tour-de-force of the issues that will be presented and possibly voted upon by the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod National Convention this July. In this episode we talk about finances, structure, culture, and retention.
