A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Pentecost (Season) (Page 12)
We talk about how our language ties us to things, and how we are tied to the Law and to the Gospel as Christians.
We consider what it means to be God’s people, His royal priesthood, His holy nation, His beloved disciples – even when we don’t knock out everything on our to-do list.

And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to…

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 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…
