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.

...#6. Our culture is plagued with record debt & consumerism. What can the church of Christ do to bear witness to a better way of life?* See Proverbs 3:28, 6:1-5, 22:7; Romans 13:8; Philippians 4:11-13; 1 Timothy 6:6-8; Hebrews 13:5-6; James 4:13-17. In your Lutheran Study Bibles by Concordia Publishing House, read the article “Five Reasons to Give Tithes & Offerings” p1092. 

By the way, St. Peter’s next Financial Peace University class is open at fpu.com/1152117

"Don't Do Me Like That"
-Tom Petty
Luke 10:38-42
Do our necessary commitments & responsibilities distract us from the one needed thing?

On the Road with Jesus

...#5. What would change if listening to Jesus took priority over everything else— in our congregation, & in your own life?* Also, how would we know if we were listening to Jesus & not someone or something else? What role do the creeds & Book of Concord have in teaching our ears to know the Shepherd’s voice (John 10:3-5, 16, 26-27)?  See John 5:39-47; Romans 10:13-17; 2 Timothy 1:13-14, 2:14-18; Titus 1:9, 2:1; 2 Peter 1:19-21. Creeds & Book of Concord available bookofconcord.org

...#5. Jesus challenges us not simply to see strangers as neighbors, but to be neighbors to those who are radically different than us. When is the last time Jesus challenged you— really challenged you— to act as a neighbor to someone else?* (Cf. v37.) How did it go? What did you learn about them? About yourself? About what others thought of you?  (*Thanks to Pr. Nathan Hilkert, Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Athens GA for this question.)
