New Testament (1636)
  1. The Scriptures are not a collection of platonic ideals laid out for us to strive after. Rather, they are God’s truth given to His beloved church.
  2. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus establishes a whole new standard for what it means to live as one of His people.
  3. 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.
  4. Mary, Martha and the Lord's Prayer.
  5. Neither the disciples nor Paul expected a resurrected Messiah, so something has to account for their dramatic transition from faithless to fearless in the days/years following Jesus’ crucifixion.
  6. 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.
  7. Paul says Christian faith means confessing Jesus is Lord, beginning at the Cross, and owning the historical fact that God raised Him from the dead.
  8. Jesus tells a parable about a “Good Samaritan” in response to a lawyer trying to trap Him.
  9. Our first mistake in thinking about the blessed life is we expect to experience it fully in this life.
  10. This passage, above all others, speaks most fully about Jesus as the elder brother, the firstborn, of a large family; the family of God the Father, Creator of humankind.
  11. Jesus sets His face toward Jerusalem as the disciples struggle with greatness.
  12. 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.
