A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Pentecost (Season) (Page 12)
We talk about the legalisms that we put on ourselves when we think about what makes us good or bad, and how Jesus sets us free from this legalism by declaring us all worthy for heaven. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:1–12 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his…
We celebrate Reformation Day and 40 years of University Lutheran’s building talking about audacious belief in God’s promises, where that belief led Peter and where it leads us. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 16:13–20 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man…
We start off a new sermon series today, “Believing the Call” with talking about how we may misconstrue God for our adversary instead of who He has promised to be, our Father. Sermon Scripture: Luke 18:1–8 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.…
We talk about miracles in this sermon, and we have some choices to make as to what we think might be miraculous – giving thanks or faithfulness. Sermon Scripture: Luke 17:11–19 On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered a village, he was met by ten…
We attempt to try to talk about the hidden Gospel in a text that is filled with Jesus telling us who we should be and how submissive we should be, but we find that we are because He was first. Sermon Scripture: Luke 17:1–10 And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure…
We talk about God’s character of transparency and clarity. God gives us what we need to know clearly, so that we can speak with clarity about His Law, but more importantly, with clarity about His Gospel. Sermon Scripture: Luke 16:19–31 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who…
We worry about what is fair because we think that we are fair, but in reality, Jesus shows us that we are all the recipients of unfair wealth being given to us out of His gracious life. Sermon Scripture: Luke 16:1–13 He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a…
We talk about the character of a God who seeks out the lost and how that really makes for a different kind of faith that we have together as Christians when compared with other ways of looking at the world – we get excited about redemption. Sermon Scripture: Luke 15:1–10 Now the tax collectors and…
We talk about integrity and how we are called to integrity, but how Jesus’ integrity covers us even when ours is lacking. Sermon Scripture: Luke 14:25–35 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and…
We wrap up our “Valued” sermon series talking about the hardest thing we could do, and how the hardest thing we can do is follow Jesus on the narrow way, but that He makes it accessible to us, and personalizes it to us. Sermon Scripture: Luke 13:22–30 He went on his way through towns and…
