Pentecost (63)
  1. The people of Isaiah’s day had rejected God and His presence in the Temple just as much as people live in contempt of God’s Word and sacraments today.
  2. This passage teaches us about the person and work of Christ not in false personification or in the Arian way but in the true biblical and Trinitarian way.
  3. The nations are not united in one single language again. Instead, they are being united in the common words and message of the Gospel.
  4. It is the Messiah’s mighty arm which will vindicate God’s people. We place our hope, trust, and full confidence in His nail scared but resurrected arms, feet, and side.
  5. The righteous dead in Christ have already passed through the judgment at Calvary where our sentence was pardoned on account of Christ’s shed blood and resurrection.
  6. We need God’s only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to gives us the true resurrection that can make our belief more than just dinner and a show.
  7. We know how to get money. We have all kinds of ways to do that. But the question remains: How do you get Christ?
  8. The best way to get at the Gospel in our Amos reading is to connect it to Christ. It is too easy and tempting to associate it with social justice today. Our people will not need much encouragement to go there. What they need is the surprising and salvific connection to Christ
  9. For all the fault we have in our married lives, God has given us not just a helper, but a Savior.
  10. Through Christ, we have the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit rather than the limited pouring out we see with Moses in the book of Numbers.
  11. Even if you have to die and go down into the grave, God will raise you again because His Word for you is true
