1. This is the prelude of Easter. Is a dead Jesus still resting in the tomb? No!
  2. Maundy Thursday is your big night. For the Passover Lamb is given for you, given to you.
  3. Today I would like to share The Legend of the Dogwood, inspired by the words of Stoney Cooper.
  4. If we just say to God, “We don’t get it, please explain,” he will. He will send us a preacher to point us to his words for more clarification.
  5. We can’t predict the harvest. We can only sow.
  6. To believe God is love and thus loves you is a miracle wrought by the Holy Spirit.
  7. His love for you is so deep that in his mercy, while you were yet a sinner, God sent his only begotten Son to die for you.
  8. “So loved,” then isn’t about how much but instead simply how.
  9. Love is pointing to Jesus who said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).
  10. Rightly distinguishing between law and gospel, as Paul helps us see in 2 Corinthians 3, is, quite literally, a matter of life and death.
  11. Fullness, truth, reality – all this God gives us as his gift in Christ.
  12. The law had to have its way with the expert to bring him around (and back) to Abraham's response.
