Old Testament (1172)
  1. Our leaders, our pastors, our priests, our teachers, all have feet of clay, just as leaders in Israel did. We do not put our faith in them, even in the ones—perhaps *especially* the ones—in whom we are inclined to have great expectations. They preach the Messiah but are not the Messiah.
  2. Ezekiel is not called/sent out to be “successful” in his prophetic ministry—he is sent out to be faithful!
  3. As the sin-bearer, Jesus was also the sin-confessor in the psalms.
  4. In the overall context of Lamentations this text stands out as a breath of fresh air, or perhaps more accurately, words of relief after so much dismal lamenting!
  5. Christian hope means always hope in God and hope in Christ simultaneously without distinction.
  6. The fact that the LORD answers Job is a great gift of love and mercy, but He does not provide the answers Job seeks.
  7. David and Bathsheba
  8. God's new planting will keep the ancient Messianic covenantal promise alive and bring it to fruition.
  9. How to pick a fight with David.
  10. This is the first direct promise of the Seed who will reunite all mankind to God by defeating Satan on the Cross.
