A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Discipleship (Page 2)
We talk about Jesus’ kingship and what it means for us to confess Him as our King. Sermon Scripture: Philippians 2:5–9 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself,…
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 how God has included us into His family, into His mission, and how He does that despite our sins of omission and the things that we don’t do – forgiving them and renewing us. Sermon Scripture: Luke 4:16–30 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was…
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…

We talk today about the somewhat confusing parable of the talents and ask the question if God wants us to be prepared.

We talk about forgiveness and how it is the “Think Different” of the Church. Sermon Text: John 14:1-14 I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life [1] “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. [2] In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would…
Pastor Ken Chitwood from First Lutheran in Gainesville FL ends our “echoes” sermon series on the catechism by talking about transfiguration and the table of duties found in Martin Luther’s Small Catechism. Sermon Text: Matthew 17:1-9 The Transfiguration [1] And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and…
When we think about all of the things that God could listen to, it’s amazing that He promises to listen to our prayers.
Are you next? Matthias was called up to fill the shoes of Judas – a pretty onerous set of shoes to fill. But his inclusion into the Twelve reminds us that we are being included by God as His disciples, those who are shaped and formed by His love, so that we might show that…
