Old Testament (1215)
  1. This day is a day of gospel.
  2. God did what we could never do. He made a promise that endures forever and is eternally significant.
  3. The LORD sends His Son who targets those who are trampled and downtrodden. He comes for all, but He specifically includes the less fortunate.
  4. Chariots of fire and severe famine.
  5. The LORD God declares He Himself will shepherd His sheep. He will seek them out. He will rescue them. He will save. He will gather them in. In other words, the Good Shepherd will take care of His own sheep.
  6. Naaman is a believer, and an ax head floats.
  7. These words direct the people of God how to live in their identity as God’s children. We would say, this is the reality of our baptismal identity!
  8. All of this is interesting and useful in preparing a sermon, however, there are no explicit words of Gospel in this text. How does one preach without shoe-horning the Gospel into the message, perhaps in an inappropriate or confusing manner?
  9. The podcast is back!
  10. As is often the case in Scripture, creation is about a renewed, restored, and redeemed relationship with the Creator.
  11. The real presence of the LORD does not pop-up unannounced when Jesus institutes the Lord’s Supper—it has been a theme from the days in the Garden of Eden when He walked and talked with His people.
  12. We want to control things and we desire to partner with God in all manner of things, but of course, the LORD is in control. He takes care of things and He does not need our help in these matters.
