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.

...#1. How do the “Suffering Servant Songs” (Isaiah 42:1-4; 49:1-6; 50:4-9a, 53:13--53:12; see also Isaiah 61:1-3; John 12:37-41) show us that Jesus has always been God’s plan A for his creation?

...#3. Read vv27-36a; how do they connect to last’s week’s gospel reading 3:14-21? How does this give you a sense of urgency as you consider how you’re joining Jesus in his mission, walking with him in the light? See Ephesians 5:1-21; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

The Promise of Deliverance
Numbers 21:4-9
The serpent shows us sin, death, & the devil in our own lives. Jesus takes them on for our sake so we may live free of them.

...#2. The Israelites complain & revolt (“murmur”) the entire journey from Egypt to the Promised Land (11:1-35; chs 12, 16, ch 13, 14:1, 39-45, 20:2-5, 21:5; cf. Exodus 14:10-12, 15:22-25, ch 16, ch17). Yet for only the second time the people resort to prayer (v7; cf. 11:2). How does this show they are beginning to learn to be God’s people (his “crew”) & follow his ways? See Exodus 34:6-7; Joel 2:13; Psalm 51, 86:15; Jonah 4

Sunday's Sermon
The Promise of Righteousness
Exodus 20:1-17
It looks foolish to be righteous as God defines it or to think it makes a difference

God Keeps His Promises
Exploring his covenants to see where (and what) his promises are

...#1. It’s been said that if we could keep the First Commandment (or first three), then we wouldn’t need the others. Christians & Jews (& Muslims) are radically & strictly monotheist (Genesis 9:6; Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalms 20:7, 33:16-17, 115:4-8, 135:15-18, 146:3-4; Isaiah 44:9-20, 46:1-7; Acts 15:28-29; Romans 1:18-22, 16:18; 1 Corinthians 10:14-22; Philippians 3:18-19). How does this give St. Paul the standing to assert that all have sinned & fallen short & that a righteousness apart from the law is needed for all? See Matthew 3:7-10; John 8:31-47; Romans 3:9-31, 5:12, 6:6-23, 16:25-27; Philippians 3:9; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8-9

Stowaways (03.10.2021)
Jeremiah 8:4-7, 18--9:6
Stowaways hide out and ignore the mission and ministry. They don't care where we're going or how we're getting there.
