1. We can’t predict the harvest. We can only sow.
  2. I hate to break it to you, but "are" is not an action verb. "Are" is a being verb.
  3. This week we will take a closer look at God's love in Scripture.
  4. Christ our Word, as with a two-edged sword, burst the devil's belly.
  5. Morons though we all have been, there is nothing we need that Christ hasn’t given us.
  6. Rejoice with Mary as she would rejoice with you. Be blessed, like her, with humility from God, so that you may serve joyfully and willingly wherever and in whatever role God has placed you.
  7. By his first Advent in the flesh, through his second Advent with bread and wine and water and Word, we await his third Advent at the end.
  8. While the world is full of horizons and endpoints, for Christians, there is always tomorrow, and there are people in that tomorrow waiting for us as we wait for them.
  9. You are a child of God. You’re blameless, holy, perfect, and righteous. Don’t feel that way? Too bad. God is greater than your heart.
  10. You’re not new because of what you do. You’re new and so you do new things, even in spite of yourself, because of your sinful nature.
  11. We don’t start with behavior and work toward Christ. We start with Christ and everything works out from there.
