  3. Walking on water is what we need. Jesus does it. We got baptism. Float through it all as the Modest Mouse song says!
  4. Dr. Paulson talks about the second commandment and Moses’ call to Egypt.
  5. Throughout the centuries and throughout earthquakes, famines, kingdoms falling and rising, God's Word has moved forward. Picking up pieces, people, lives, sins, and hopelessness only to turn them into diamonds through His Grace!
  6. So, look . . . if you want to rely upon works of the Law to lay claim to the title "child of God," you can't. To be under the Law is to be a slave, and slaves are not sons.
