Lectionary: Series A (18)
  1. The right sermon will connect our present suffering with Christ’s historic suffering as the perfect entree for delivering His work on our behalf.
  2. Faith, the reliance of your hearers in utter dependence on the promise delivered to them by the promise of Christ, is, indeed, a worthy goal of your preaching. But faith is never created by talking about faith!
  3. Where Sin’s presence corrodes, Christ’s heals. Where Sin multiplies death, Christ overflows with life.
  4. This is the aim of a day of repentance: To come face to face with God and, therefore, face to face with our sin.
  5. Transfiguration looks like one thing. The majesty mockery of Christ’s passion looks like another.
  6. Christ crucified changes everything for the world which is now under judgment for not recognizing God’s son.
  7. This is the heart of Christian theology: The Gospel is the word of the cross, and the word of the cross is the Gospel.
  8. There is good news here for your hearer, good news of belonging.
  9. This is a salutary commemoration of the confession we share, and an opportunity to give thanksgiving to Jesus for choosing this holy man of God to receive, believe, and share the gospel of our salvation!
  10. The brief introduction to the letter stands in marked contrast to the spanking the saints of Corinth will get through the balance of the letter.
  11. The sermon that faithfully confesses the conversion of Saint Paul focuses on the converter, the Holy Spirit, and the means He uses to change unbelievers into believers: The Word in all its forms.
  12. As you look to the water of your own baptism, consider not that the water is wet, but, rather, that it is rich with the Word and promise of God for one reason only: Because Jesus is in that water.
