A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Pentecost (Season) (Page 13)
We talk about why Jesus seems to be excited about something that seems horrible to us, the division of families, but when we look deeper, we see that Jesus is showing us something deeper than even our family lives. Sermon Scripture: Luke 12:49–53 “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it…
We continue our Valued series by looking at the concepts of anxiety and faith. Sermon Scriptures: Luke 12:22–34 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and…
We talk about value, what is valuable to us, and how we work out the parable of the Rich Fool. Scripture: Luke 12:13–21 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?”…
We talk about what was happening when Jesus gave His disciples His Words of prayer, the Lord’s Prayer, and what those words mean for us today. Sermon Scripture: Luke 11:1–13 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as…
We continue our “valued” series by taking a look at the story of the Good Samaritan, but almost ignoring the Samaritan character and focusing on the character who is really important to Jesus, the young lawyer. Sermon Scripture: Luke 10:25–37 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall…
We continue our “Valued” series on discipleship by considering the singleminded discipleship that we are called to while considering the singleminded salvation that Jesus won for us. Sermon Scripture: Luke 9:51–62 When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead…
We kick off our “Valued” sermon series by talking about the first (but not last) step in our discipleship as we consider the sins and the evil that we need God to remove from our lives just as Jesus expelled demons from people. Sermon Scripture: Luke 8:26–39 Then they sailed to the country of the…
We finish our “Call and Response” series by talking about how we can read Numbers 11 perhaps a little differently and how that might give us some insight into the Pentecost event.
We count down to the 2nd to last Sunday of the Church year and start looking beyond our own lives to heaven and the Resurrection by asking ourselves some tough questions about our expectations for the afterlife and what God promises us. Sermon Text: Mark 13:1–13 And as he came out of the temple, one of…
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…
