A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Forgiveness (Page 2)
We talk about ownership and how we own the forgiveness of our sin, our vocations, and our place in the Kingdom of God. Sermon Scripture: Luke 5:1–11 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, and he saw…
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 move into the second sermon of our “Christmas Calling” series talking about vocation and how John the Baptist clarifies the vocations of the people around him, how our vocations are clarified, and how Jesus’ vocation was ultimately clear – saving us from sin. Sermon Scripture: Luke 3:1–20 In the fifteenth year of the reign…
We talk about the widows of 1 Kings and Mark 12 and what it means for us to be forgiven and renewed by a Jesus whose forgiveness for us is everlasting. Sermon Scripture: Mark 12:38–44 And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like…
We continue our “In One Body” series by talking about a reading from Ephesians that is considered offensive to many people, but we dive into it and look at what it means for us to be Christians, husbands, wives, and single persons. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 5:22–33 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.…
Today we talked about wisdom and advice, and how God’s best piece of advice isn’t advice at all, but is the wisdom of the Cross that says “you are forgiven”. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 5:6–21 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of…
We talk about the Ascension, what God has given us in terms of responsibilities to serve others in the Church, and how it is a clear sign of His love for us that He trusts us with His Church. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 4:1–16 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a…
Hatfields, McCoys, Noles, Gators, Canes, Republicans, Democrats, etc etc. We separate ourselves in all sorts of ways, but the amazing thing about the Gospel is how being covered in the Blood of Jesus means that we’re all together – at least in terms of our sins and forgiveness. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 2:11–22 Therefore remember that at…
“We pay a lot of attention to our failure,” but do we pay attention to sin and righteousness? We talk about Jesus’ “failure” to do a great work in His hometown and how winning and losing, succeeding and failing, is not the same as righteousness and sin. Sermon Scripture: Mark 6:1–13 He went away from there…
