Lectionary: Series C (534)

  2. In Christ, all things are new. This is also true in so far as His three-fold office of prophet, priest, and king.
  3. Preaching on this text isnan invitation to express love and longing in your relationship with your hearers.
  4. The oddness of this moment, at the beginning of Advent, is God’s way of saying, “The reason I’m here...”
  5. The creatures and the elders show us what to do now. They hit the deck, sing, and worship, so we would know what the liturgy is supposed to look and sound like.
  6. In many ways [this text] brings to mind Judgement Day and the separation of the sheep from the goats when Christ the King comes to take His treasured possession home to be with Him in the courts of everlasting life.
  7. The epistle text from Colossians 1 declares how the great drama of redemption and human history ends.
  8. God invites us to have intimate conversations in a world filled with mockery and hate. To trust Jesus reigns whenever and wherever He extends a word of promise to the displaced and the disfavored, welcoming them home.
  9. These last words of the Old Testament Scriptures prepare us for the incarnation and beyond.
  10. The Gospel outpaces all would-be and eventually fleeting identity-makers and brings in the truth of a renewed-in-Christ humanity.
  11. Jesus offer us this vision of violence not so we might be drawn into it but so we might be drawn through it to come closer to Him.
