A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Faith (Page 3)
We talk about faithfulness and how God shows His faithfulness to us. Sermon Scripture: Mark 5:21–43 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing…
We continue our series on the “Signs of Life” by talking about movement and how Jesus as our good shepherd moves us for our good. Sermon Scripture: Psalm 23 The LORD Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David. [1] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. [2] He makes me lie down in green…
We talk about how Jesus is constantly moving forward and how that should be something that the Church is always doing as well, being invited on Jesus’ forward movement. Sermon Scripture: Mark 1:29–39 And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill…
We talk today about the somewhat confusing parable of the talents and ask the question if God wants us to be prepared. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 25:14–30 The Parable of the Talents [14] “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. [15] To one…
This classic “University Lutheran question” gets at the notion of what Jesus is getting at when He calls His disciples “little children”. Sermon Text: Matthew 11:25-30 Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest [25] At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things…
We talk about who we can trust, the “Treatise Against the Power and Primacy of the Pope” and how Jesus is ultimately more trustworthy than even we ourselves are. Sermon Text: Jeremiah 28:1-9 [1] In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month of the…
We continue our Concordia series talking about those times when we encounter failure and how to see God working in the midst of those things. Sermon Text: Jeremiah 20:7-13 [7] O LORD, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the…
We continue our “Concordia” series about the Book of Concord talking about the Augsburg Confession, Exodus 19, and what it means to “subscribe”. Sermon Text: Exodus 19:2-8 [2] They set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain, [3] while Moses…
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…
When God asks us to have faith in something, He is telling us that whatever that is, that we should consider it as already done. We talk about how this applies to our life of faith and the time of our lives. Sermon Text: Romans 4 Abraham Justified by Faith [1] What then shall we say…
