  2. I think the problem with the idea of eternity is that we do not have any direct experience of it, but we encounter enough of its possibility to be unsettling.

  4. We ache in eager anticipation as we see Christ in action and as we take in the snapshots of his life, death, and resurrection.
  5. That is the task of preaching in these last weeks of the Church Year, to enable the people given to our care, to praise God from the perspective of the end when our Lord will return in glory bringing us into His Kingdom of glory.
  6. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.

  11. The power of the Word of God is the power of God himself, for he is always faithful to his Word.
