Study & Share Sermon Blog

This is Pastor Jared's weekly sermon info and his weekly Study and Share devotional Bible study. Unless otherwise noted all sermons and studies are copyright Jared Stillions 2020-2023. The devotional Bible studies may be reproduced & shared for personal, non-sale use, provided this copyright notice is included. The studies are formatted two to a page to make sharing it easier. Weekly posts go live at 9:00 AM on Sundays. 

You can find his sermon podcast on the sermon-cast page. Check back each Sunday for new content. The podcast will soon be listed with major services. 
Why not put them on the same page? Due to limitations of our website builder.

By the way, here's the Lutheran Confessions, The Book of Concord, online and in the public domain. These writings, including Luther's Small & Large Catechisms are frequently referenced in these devotional studies. The Confessions are the historic doctrinal standard of the Lutheran Church and a faithful exposition of the Bible. You could say they are squared, leveled, and plumb by and to the Bible itself.

...#4. Name 5 or 6 times in your life when you couldn’t see how God was going to get you through something (vv4-8, 17), and yet you continued faithfully in prayer and other spiritual disciplines until the situation was resolved. Looking back how was God present and active for you?

Sunday's Sermon
For the Sake of
Jesus’ cross is how we make sense of holiness; it’s the fullness of holiness.

Current Series:
Everyday Holiness
It is good for the world to encounter holiness in the lives of the saints. By the way, it’s also a team sport.

...#1.  St. Paul uses the word gospel 10 times in 1 Corinthians (1:17, 4:15, 9:12, 14, 16, 18, 23). How do 1:18--2:5 frame the gospel? Review the Formula of Concord ch. V, in both the Epitome (summary/abstract) & the Solid Declaration (full explanation; esp. paragraph 22). How does this clarity shine light on vv19 & following above?

...#4.  Notice how Jesus heals folks personally & individually (vv23, 31-34). What makes you think he’s too busy for you? What does he desire for you & your burdens? What burdens are you withholding from him? See Mark 8:34, 9:35, 10:43-45; Matthew 11:28-30; John 3:16; Hebrews 2:17-18, 4:14-16
