A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Pentecost (Season) (Page 14)
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…
In the second sermon in our “Communion of Saints” series about the 3rd article of the Creed and the Holy Spirit’s work in the Church – we talk about All Saints Day and comforting and our mourning with our experience of the beatitudes. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:1–12 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain,…
We end our “In One Body” series by talking about the armor of God in Ephesians 6, and end talking about something that most people seem to miss in the reading. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–20 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that…
We continue our “In One Body” series by talking about a reading from Ephesians that is considered offensive to many people, but we dive into it and look at what it means for us to be Christians, husbands, wives, and single persons. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 5:22–33 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.…
Today we talked about wisdom and advice, and how God’s best piece of advice isn’t advice at all, but is the wisdom of the Cross that says “you are forgiven”. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 5:6–21 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of…
