Preaching (1936)
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The ways of the world lead to death but the way of the Lord is life eternal in His presence.
  5. Sinai is law. Zion is gospel. Which one will save your hearer? Which one is the author’s audience being directed to? Which one are you directing your hearers to?
  6. He is not a teacher who answers all sorts of speculative questions. He is your Savior, who answers the one question which matters the most for you: “How will you be saved?”
  7. It is true that the congregation may not want to think about the God Jeremiah proclaims, but we need to hear this true voice in the marketplace of ideas in the world today
  8. Jesus is preparing us for a baptism by fire that will shatter our expectations.
  9. A life of faith is lived by “fixing our eyes on” the object of faith, even Jesus, the one dead and raised.
