New Testament (1404)
  1. Preachers are called upon to report the events that took place as Jesus journeyed towards the cross with the intention of reassuring our hearers of the trustworthiness of Christ’s work for their salvation.
  2. The sermon that saves will be the sermon which presents the Gospel and delivers the object of that faith: the Christ who is son, heir, and gifter of that same status for those who receive and believe the Gospel.
  3. Usually, our preaching directs us to the works of God. But this week, we focus on the nature of God. Trinity Sunday names the God of the First Commandment who we are to fear, love, and trust above all else.
  4. The point is not to get people to better “understand the Holy Trinity.” It is to get the hearer face to face with the fact that Jesus Christ is God.
  5. Pentecost is far more than an event in the past. It is our present reality happening week in and week out.
  6. This Holy Spirit chooses to use the vehicle of real human language, of His almighty, energic, performative, and effective Word (Hebrews 4:12) to convict and to save.
  7. Real unity flows from the Gospel, where the love of God permeates our life together. And despite our petty differences, this gift continues to be given.
  8. By faith in Christ, the curse is lifted now. In hope, we wait for the curse to be lifted forever.
