1. The gospel's message is the scandalous announcement that Yahweh has stooped to our frame, to where we are.
  2. Fullness, truth, reality – all this God gives us as his gift in Christ.
  3. The answer to our messages is God's "yes," Jesus, who sends his preachers to proclaim that there's no place for us now other than in the grip of our God and Savior.
  4. Maybe, just maybe, our goal for 2023 should not be to live more but to die more.

  6. For almost three years, I have produced a weekly video in the series “Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes.” Here is an index of all the Gospel readings covered so far, with links to their YouTube videos.
  7. To trust in the Lord, the Messiah, the Deliverer, is our salvation and our only hope. Yet he does not trust us to have this “trust” on our own or of our own will.
  8. A.I. can’t make the proclamatory move that delivers God’s word in a way that is specifically for me.
  9. The Church stands firm on the word of promise that Christ will one day return to change what we know by faith into sight.
  10. We live again, not so that we will now pay our debt, but to proclaim that we live because our debt was paid!
  11. 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.
  12. Preachers and church workers must also hear the gospel preached to them.
