Ministry of the Church (1645)
Filter by:
  1. Christianity has never been about getting people to clam up and look the part. It’s about Christ calling sinners to himself.
  2. Demons, waterless places, and the sign of Jonah.
  3. The Church gathers around the Word and Sacrament in order to receive Christ and each other.
  4. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus establishes a whole new standard for what it means to live as one of His people.
  5. It is time to move on from the basics, says the Apostle. It is time to sink your teeth into some theological meat and understand He is working in those baptized into Christ.
  6. Obviously, the choice is very black and white: good or evil; life or death; blessings or curses...Unfortunately, the actions of the people will speak louder than their words.
  7. They’re just psalms! It’s OK to pray them! They’re psalms! Gillespie and Riley take a listener request. They read and discuss the collects of Thomas Cranmer. Why pray? What should be the content and focus of prayer? How does old Adam fight against God’s Word when the new man prays?
  8. It would do us well to expand what we mean when we say catechesis and consequently broaden the reach of theological education into daily life.
  9. Must... continue... thinking... in... ways... that... lead... to... dying... with... meaning. Gillespie and Riley finish their reading and discussion of Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning. How has Frankl's book changed the way people discuss identity and meaning? How has this influenced the Church?
  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.
