A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Lent (Season) (Page 3)
We talk about the fear of change as we examine the stories of Abraham and Peter and how we have a hope of security even in the midst of a world that changes all the time Genesis 17: 1-7 | Psalm 22: 23-31 | Romans 5: 1-11 | Mark 8: 27-38
We begin our “Hopes and Fears” sermon series with the Fear of Sacrifice which leads to the Hope of Provision – Genesis 22: 1-18 | Psalm 25: 1-10 | James 1: 12-18 | Mark 1: 9-15
We begin our observation of the season of Lent with Ash Wednesday talking about our fear of separation. Joel 2: 12-19 | Psalm 51: 1-19 | 2 Corinthians 5: 20 – 6: 10 | Matthew 6: 1-6, 16-21

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 risk. We are called by God to risk our lives because He risked His life (and lost it!) on us. Sermon Scripture: Luke 20:9–18 And he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long…
