Pentecost (654)
  1. Preaching this text is to call for joy, joy for the fellowship that has been found, the fellowship that gathers together this very day.
  2. The sinner who soberly faces her sin has no place to run but to a savior, and the savior to run to is at the cross. The cross is where sin goes to die.
  3. The crosier of Christ was the cross and the narrow gate He led us through to pasture in the doorway of His empty tomb.
  4. The text stands as an exhortation and warning. The challenge will be to make sure it is also an encouragement to the failing and wayward disciples who sit before you.
  5. Christ’s hands and feet, Christ’s very heart, are, indeed, the hands, feet, and heart of His servants, His slaves, those He has made free by dying as slave for them.
  6. Where else was Israel going to go? There really was no other option. Trust in the God who saves.
  7. He tries to open their eyes to see that the Sabbath is a time for saving life, not seeking to destroy it, for experiencing the love of God, not for practicing hatred.
  8. Dying with Christ. That, in the end, is the only good way to die, the only way to die well. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So, imitate that.
  9. Proverbs is more than clever sayings. It is a book which reveals the wisdom of God in how you are to live your daily life.
