Sermons by Jay Winters (Page 28)
What is the hardest thing to give up? We explore that question as it relates to Lent, spiritual practices, and our own tendencies to try to justify ourselves. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 17:1–9 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by…
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 continue with our Epiphany series, Made (for Discipleship) as we talk about the “contagion” of the Gospel. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 4:12–25 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so…
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 talk about the greatest villain of Christmas, Herod the Great, and how his sin is the same sin that lives in us, but how we are offered sanctuary for the sake of Jesus. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 2:13–23 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream…
We talk about where we were born, where Jesus was born, and how we connect the dots. Sermon Scripture: Luke 2:1–20 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered,…
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…
Every year at University Lutheran, we host a German language Christmas service. This is the sermon from that service.
