1. For the next few weeks we will be exploring the rich laments of the prophet Jeremiah. Rich, because we can relate to the prophet's complaints, and also be encouraged that God gives us a script in His holy Word to speak to Him about the things that vex us.
  2. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the story of Mary and Martha.
  3. Jeremiah 11:18-23 is so beautifully explained and meditated on by Chad.
  4. This episode is a classic; one to listen to year after year. Long before the Christ child was born in Bethlehem, Isaiah writes prophetically and poetically of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
  5. Seasons of mourning. David went through dark times and chances are that we will too. Chad meditates on this scripture that speaks to us in the dark hours of life.
  6. Once again we meditate on an Old Testament passage that is all about Jesus Christ.
  7. This wonderful passage shows our Savior, 700 years before the incarnation, suffering and receiving honor and glory. Chad gives such pastoral encouragement in his meditation on this scripture.
  8. The Fellows continue their conversation about Lutheran identity. This time, they discuss the term "evangelical."
  9. Psalm 18 is both a lament and a triumphant song of Christ's victory. Chad explains how we cannot lose when we bring all of our pain before our loving God.
  10. The day is soon coming when all of our earthly life will seem like a distant breath, though certainly today has plenty of blessings, and also concerns.
