Gospel (142)
  1. A multi-day workshop for pastors to hone the Craft of Preaching
  2. Those whose lives matter to Jesus show others how they, too, matter. This is part of the Christian’s evangelical witness, to value the people in our world who feel like they have no value.
  3. Jesus knew what was coming, so He spent four chapters in John’s gospel preparing them. Then, immediately before leading them to the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed.
  4. Our genuine love for Jesus and His commandments continually run up against a deeply ingrained disposition to self-love and autonomy. The result is, as believers in Jesus, our lives are a continual struggle.
  5. As good as the news of Jesus’ resurrection is, the reality of life in a troubled world challenges us.
  6. In the middle, the thrill of extremes settles into the boredom of routines. For followers of Jesus, this can lead in several problematic directions.
  7. It is hard to believe, but somehow it is better for followers of Jesus that Jesus has gone away. Otherwise, the Spirit would not have come.
  8. Like John, we know some things about Jesus, and the things we know are very important. But there are other things about Jesus and His ways which elude us.
  9. What does Jesus’ identity as Son of God and son of Mary say to those who feel the burden of figuring out for themselves who they “really” are?
  10. Your job on this celebration of the Reformation is to proclaim the promise of God in Christ which justifies, and to help your hearers live like they believe it.
  11. God has all authority. He is the Creator. He is in charge. We are completely at His mercy.
  12. Instead of allowing people to slowly fade, Jesus leads us to take the first step toward bringing them back home.
