New Testament (1597)
  1. To act according to a “theology of glory” that exalts in money and status at the cost of your brothers and sisters who are hurting or suffering in any way is to act in the opposite way of Christ.
  2. Jesus does not remain at a distance from our suffering. He fully enters it and bears its burden.
  3. Everyone must enter heaven like a child.
  4. Calvary is our mountain of pardon. It is the place which reveals most definitively God’s plan to redeem and reconcile sinners to himself.
  5. Our enemy is both external AND internal. Outside of us AND inside of us. It is the old evil foe who prowls around us AND the old Adam who wreaks havoc inside each of us.
  6. No soldier enters the battlefield without protection. So, Paul teaches us what it means to be clothed in the full armor of God, whose might is our strength.
  7. Kingdom greatness and cutting off your hand.
  8. Is this text about marriage or Jesus? The answer should be obvious by now: Yes!
  9. No longer do we read about Jesus promising to satisfy and raise and abide in His people. Instead, we encounter a Jesus who goes on the attack.
  10. I believe… at least I want to.
  11. God’s Word of forgiveness, new life in baptism, and life given in the Lord’s Supper direct our lives in this world of sin and cause us to follow Christ’s light through the darkness.
  12. Jesus, the Son of God from all eternity, the agent of creation, the Savior of all people, promises to abide IN His people.
