A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Lent (Season) (Page 3)
We talk about Jesus healing the man born blind in John 9 and how we might be looking at the world a little differently now, and how Jesus’ work in our lives helps us see the world differently. Sermon Scripture: John 9 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his…
We talk about how Jesus walked into a situation that was normally marked by “social distancing” but that He disregarded the anxiety and connected with the woman at the well. Sermon Scripture: John 4:1–42 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus…
We talk about the best song in the world, the faith that we have in Jesus Christ. Sermon Scripture: John 3:1–17 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher…
We start the Sundays of Lent and a new sermon series called “In Relation To” where we examine the non-disciple characters in Matthew’s Gospel and look at what they tell us about being disciples, starting today with the big bad guy himself, Satan Sermon Scripture: Matthew 4:1–11 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit…
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 the prodigal son and what God won’t let us talk about with Him. Sermon Scripture: Luke 15:11–32 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided…
We talk about how repentance is God’s repair of our souls. Sermon Series: Luke 13:1–9 There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans,…
We continue our “REDIAL” series talking about when God calls us again talking a little bit about St. Patrick and a lot about how God calls to us again so that we can repent and be gathered to Him. Sermon Scripture: Luke 13:31–35 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get…
We start off our Lent series “REDIAL” by talking about who we rely upon, and how the story of Jesus’ temptation is really the story of Jesus’ reliance. Sermon Scripture: Luke 4:1–13 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days,…
