Preaching (1819)
  1. While today we read all of the names of those who have departed this year, we do not lump them all together. Instead, we are asked to see them as God sees them, as individuals.
  2. Our hope of a joyful reunion with our loved ones who died confessing the name of Jesus is as sure and certain as the death and resurrection of Jesus.
  3. Jesus is the life of the people of God and, once more, at the empty doorway of His tomb He is the Word of everlasting life because He is not dead but alive forever.
  4. The faithful who gather for worship have heard and believed this promise, and they too are saved. But they need to hear it again.
  5. The Reformation not only uncovered the Good News of the Gospel, but it also put the Law of God back in its proper place in the life of the Church.
  6. Reformation Sunday is for celebrating not just one day memorializing an event 507 years ago. It is a celebration for every day because of our resurrected Jesus who is the truth we still stand on from Scripture alone.
  7. To preach Christ and him crucified is to keep the message simple and accessible.
  8. If Jesus can rise from the dead, then a camel can go through the eye of needle, a rich man can find a place in the reign of God, you and I can be forgiven.
  9. We have no confidence in ourselves or our heritage. Jesus is superior to everything else.
