Lectionary: Series A (765)
  1. Christ is the crisis-point of salvation and judgment for the entire world, and for your hearer this week.
  2. Your proclamation must not be about their performance but about the one thing that truly matters: Christ alone is their Master. And this Master has purchased them and made them His servants.
  3. At funerals, everyone becomes a theologian, or at least a grief counselor. And some people are not as good at those jobs as other people.
  4. The urgency of the call which you proclaim is not necessarily to do something radically different but to remain steadfast in what they are already doing.
  5. He who died in darkness for our sins has been resurrected for our life and salvation forever.
  6. Instead of thinking you must become this state in order to be blessed, this emphasis teaches is that wherever you find people in this low estate there you find God.
  7. On All Saints’ Day, we are intentionally being reminded about those who have gone before us, those saints who are now at rest from their labors, yet they still remain as part of the body of Christ.
  8. The holy is not merely the pristine or the perfect. It is that which belongs to God and is set apart for His purposes.
  9. Since we are accustomed to approaching these words of God with the certainty of sin in our minds, I would like to try approaching them with the certainty of salvation in mind.
