Gospel (832)
  1. If the feeding of the 5000 invited an emphasis on Jesus’ COMPASSION, this week’s miracle invites a sermon focused on Jesus’ AUTHORITY.
  2. There is no justification except by faith alone. The radical forgiveness itself puts the old to death and calls forth the new.
  3. “Rembrandt goes so deep into the mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language.”
  4. The Gospels function like literary essays, composed with a specific thesis and purpose in mind. Each account of Jesus’s life acts as a treatise to show us something about the person and work of the Savior.
  5. Jesus’ miracle in this sermon, then, is a type of the compassion He has for your hearers. While they certainly have many physical needs, your hearers also (more fundamentally) need Jesus’ mercy and forgiveness.
  6. These parables invite us to consider the mysterious way of the reign of God. The Kingdom of God comes by grace to those who are seeking and not seeking it.
  7. The good news of Jesus Christ guides us into godly worship, not self-worship.
  8. On this episode of the Soul of Christianity Debi and Dan chat with David Zahl of Mockingbird Ministries. Dave, Debi, and Dan talk about life in quarantine, Dave’s faith journey, and the good news of the Gospel for our time.
  9. In Christ, God promises to forgive sin and bring about new life: Life after being canceled.
  10. In our attempts to flee from our fears and escape death, we will become imprisoned by them.
  11. Love is to be the interpreter of law. Where there is no love, these things are meaningless, and law begins to do harm.
  12. 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.
