1. This week we are taking a closer look at 1 Corinthians 15:14-19 and what we lose if Christ has not been raised from the dead.
  2. You are not alone if you find it difficult to wrap your mind around the auspices of the Old Testament sacrificial system.
  3. Many people have struggled to understand Leviticus and Old Testament worship in general. Here is a handbook or map to navigate these subjects, and to see their relationship to Christ and his saving work.
  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. My fear of this coming darkness only lasts a moment.
  6. We can’t predict the harvest. We can only sow.
  7. Nothing moves or drives Paul more than preaching about “Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2).
  8. We don't make Church "happen." Only Christ can do so. It's his happening.
  9. There is a revival, no less real and even more definitive, taking place in every church, every weekend, where God’s people gather around his gifts.
  10. Reading includes, on some level, striving. Hearing, on the other hand, remains passive.
  11. Jesus stands before the disciples as the bridge between heaven and earth, and between Old Testament and New Testament.
  12. Zephaniah has given us something more visceral to help us understand the love of God: the sound of salvation.
