Lectionary: Series A (51)
  1. The Father in Heaven is the only one we have legitimate reason to fear. But in Christ, we learn that the Father knows His children intimately and values His children exceedingly.
  2. Before the sending is the gathering. Before the gathering is the compassion. Before the compassion is the seeing. And it all starts with a gracious God.
  3. The Lord, who is with us, retains authority over us. His promise calls for trust and obedience.
  4. Their hearts burned, their feet ran, and their mouths opened. “The Lord is risen, indeed!” they confessed, because this is what Easter does: It makes confessors.
  5. John chose to write these things for a specific purpose: “So that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name."
  6. It is safe to say that Easter this year will be unlike any Easter we have ever seen.
  7. Our God-given faith, despite our lack of sight, has made us sons and daughters of light who walk in the light even during dark times.
  8. God interrupts Peter, but not only to quiet him. He also directs Peter to listen to someone else.
  9. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus establishes a whole new standard for what it means to live as one of His people.
  10. The followers of Jesus have a function to perform. When they do not perform it—that is, when they are not being themselves—the world suffers.
  11. Our first mistake in thinking about the blessed life is we expect to experience it fully in this life.
  12. On the other side of Christmas, we find (1) senseless suffering and (2) unstoppable salvation. A sermon on these verses should be honest about both.
