Gospel (125)
  1. A multi-day workshop for pastors to hone the Craft of Preaching
  2. Already on Easter evening, ten of the eleven were back together. Eight days later, Thomas had rejoined them. His “not with them” turned once again to being “with them.”
  3. These others do not get much attention. We do not know their names. We do not know their back stories. But they were there on Easter morning, and Luke wants his readers to know it.
  4. The will of God may be perfect, but it is not always pleasant.
  5. God remains recklessly, wastefully, even foolishly generous with us. And through us, He is reaching out in the same way to all His human creatures.
  6. He received his father’s love, forgiveness, and celebration. But was he ever tempted to wander again?
  7. Jesus leaves us hanging. Does the tree improve? Does the owner of the vineyard even grant the vinedresser another year? Or does the tree finally get the ax?
  8. Jesus' course led from death into life, as He had promised. And He promises to lead us on that same course from death to life, from lament to joy.
  9. Lent begins this Sunday. Changes in the liturgical seasons offer preachers a good opportunity to address the Christian life from a higher elevation.
  10. After setting aside the written Word of God, the Word of God in flesh began to open His mouth to proclaim the spoken Word.
  11. He was invited like all the other guests. The hosts simply wanted Him to be part of the happy crowd. They got more than they asked for.
  12. Luke tells us John “preached good news to the people.” Really? “Good” news?
