New Testament (48)
  1. Faith, the reliance of your hearers in utter dependence on the promise delivered to them by the promise of Christ, is, indeed, a worthy goal of your preaching. But faith is never created by talking about faith!
  2. Where Sin’s presence corrodes, Christ’s heals. Where Sin multiplies death, Christ overflows with life.
  3. Transfiguration looks like one thing. The majesty mockery of Christ’s passion looks like another.
  4. Christ crucified changes everything for the world which is now under judgment for not recognizing God’s son.
  5. This is the heart of Christian theology: The Gospel is the word of the cross, and the word of the cross is the Gospel.
  6. There is good news here for your hearer, good news of belonging.
  7. The brief introduction to the letter stands in marked contrast to the spanking the saints of Corinth will get through the balance of the letter.
  8. As you look to the water of your own baptism, consider not that the water is wet, but, rather, that it is rich with the Word and promise of God for one reason only: Because Jesus is in that water.
  9. “Where are God’s promises? Where does God work? Where are you?” and the answer is ever in Christ.
  10. It is in the gritty that the Lord Jesus reveals Himself; always in the low, the palpable, the material, the immanent, inviting you to guide your own sermon for this Sunday after Christmas in the direction of delivering the grit.
  11. When God is truly present among us, how can we not, in turn, respond with love for Him?
  12. Knowing the coming Judge as the one who endured for me changes the waiting of endurance into, indeed, a “we can hardly stand the wait.”
