Church Seasons (1077)
  1. If you do not know who your God is, you will not know what your idols are.
  2. We cannot control the resistance of people to God’s Word, but we can trust in God’s power and promise to work through His Word.
  3. Our passage from Romans steers us between these two dangerous misconceptions: The mythical monster Scylla of believing the body to be evil on the one shore, and the beast Charybdis of believing the body constitutes all there is on the other.
  4. The message is clear and assuring—the Word of God does what it says it will do!
  5. The people gathered in Jerusalem that day were making a bold statement of faith. They believed Jesus was the New David.
  6. Paul has gone through all this explanation to belabor the point: The incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ changes everything.
  7. Jesus did not come to be first. He came to be faithful, faithful to His Father’s mission for you.
  8. If your congregation promotes and supports “family values,” you should be prepared to take this text head-on.
  9. St. Paul asserts the baptized have died in Christ but this death then makes them free to live unto Christ. Complicated? Yes, a little. Let us try to clarify things a bit.
  10. As a prophet, Jeremiah only speaks the LORD’s words. Obviously, this is the difference between a true and false prophet.
  11. Jeremiah trusts the LORD to be faithful. He knows the LORD must answer, even though he is not certain how He will answer.
  12. The lordship of sin and its reign have been deposed by Jesus Christ. Nothing can stand to oppose those who are in Him.
