1. Let us not recoil at the sight and sound of the crucifixion. It is the battlefield of victory. It is the throne of the King. It is the symbol of salvation.
  2. God has the power to take that which is small, that which is overlooked, that which is despised, and use it to create something wonderful.
  3. I hope your people expect and even demand this of you. But how we proclaim the central message, that can (and probably should) vary.
  4. Christianity is not principally about ethics. It was the Cross on the Hill rather than the Sermon on the Mount which produced the impact of Christianity upon the world.
  5. Though it may feel to us like the darkness is winning, God’s Word reveals the darkness is waning. The Light of the world has come.
  6. The Church becomes anti-church when the new world order Christ inaugurated by eliminating demographic division through the commonality of Baptism is exploded by allegiance to cults of personality.
  7. Human history and especially the Christian life have a shape, and Jesus is its shaper at every point, infusing even the mundane and the difficult with sanctifying purposes, ultimate meaning, and enduring hope.
  8. When all the people had been baptized, when all the people had washed the filth of their sins into the water, Jesus went into the water to draw their sins unto Himself.
  9. The word which justifies by bringing faith in baptism is the same powerful word that recreates, regenerates, and re-births a human being in baptism.
  10. Because we could never intuitively figure it out, God reveals Christ to us.
  11. He is given His name so you could call on it. He is called Jesus, so you can call on Jesus and be saved.
  12. Why is it important for us to confess and remember the virgin birth? It is important because of its place within the total story of redemption.
