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.

Sunday's Sermon
Permission
As the Body of Christ, we have Jesus’ permission & authority for our holiness to affect the everyday lives of others

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.  What is the point of the so-called “messianic secret” whereby Jesus prevents others from “testifying” to his powers (v24)? In other words, how do we ultimately recognize his power? See 1:34, 40-45, 3:11-12, 4:11, 7:31-37, 8:22-30, 9:2-9, 10:45, 15:33-39; see also John 6:25-27, 16:13; Small Catechism: Creed II available <bookofconcord.org>

Sunday's Sermon
The Hallmark of Holiness
That we turn away & return to God is the one-day-at-a-time, practical foundation of doing 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.

...#3.  Do these first disciples say a “sinner’s prayer”? Make Jesus the king of their hearts? Decide that he’s their personal Lord & Savior? Read the color-coded “Wordless Book”? What’s another name for this compelling spirit of Jesus? See John 15:16-19, 26; Romans 8:15-16
1 Corinthians 12:3; Small Catechism: Creed III, available <bookofconcord.org>

Sunday's Sermon
From Where?
Our entire lives are called & claimed by Jesus. How we address our own callings shows & tells others about theirs.

...#5.    What makes walking the walk such an important part of talking the talk? See Luke 6:27-38, 10:25-43, 11:42, 13:10-17, 20:45--21:4

Sunday's Sermon
Who's Holy?
Baptism makes us holy. We have our own gifts manifesting the Spirit in everyday life- if we’d quit worrying about standing out.

...#3 How does the fact that you can’t baptize yourself emphasize that it’s God’s gift to you, his decision to choose & adopt you? See Romans 1:16, 3:10-18, 5:6-9, 10:14; Ephesians 1:5, 13, 2:5, 8-9; see also Romans 6:3-5, 8:12-17

Sunday's Sermon
Another Road
Keeping our eyes on Jesus leads us down another way, a narrow way, away from the avenues of power.

Current Series:
Remembrance
Our Christmas celebrations bridge the gap between back then, right now, and what’s still to come, as well as, back there, right here, and over yonder.

...#3 Changing gears for a moment- How does Psalm 72 square with Psalm 146:3-4 (also Psalms 20:7, 33:16-17, 118:8-9, 147:10-11)? How does treating Psalm 72 as a prayer help? How does Psalm 72 help you pray for governmental leaders- regardless of party affiliation? See 2 Timothy 2:1-2
