Preaching (223)
  1. He who died in darkness for our sins has been resurrected for our life and salvation forever.
  2. Instead of thinking you must become this state in order to be blessed, this emphasis teaches is that wherever you find people in this low estate there you find God.
  3. The whole Old Testament points to the promise of the Messiah Jesus. Even seemingly unclear passages are promises about Him.
  4. Better than Cyrus, Jesus has come to set the captives free indeed!
  5. Here, we get a glimpse of the eschatological feast God throws for Christ and His bride the Church, where there are no wedding crashers allowed.
  6. God turns a song meant to catch us in our sin into the love song of our savior. Easter’s distant triumph song.
  7. Jesus Christ is the only one whose “standing in the breach” satisfied God’s just wrath for debts and sins while at the same time bringing the saving mercy and life that God desires for all people.
  8. Isaiah uses commands and rhetorical questions to invite Israel to have faith in the future deliverance of God and to trust in the finished work of His “suffering servant.”
  9. Joseph could not give them the complete assurance they required. They needed someone greater than Joseph, and so do we!
  10. Like petulant children they bemoan their lot and continue to question their very existence. Nevertheless, God loves His wayward children.
  11. Jeremiah wants us to see there is life beyond Babylon, and it is a life beyond sin, guilt, and despair.
  12. God often chooses the foolish things in the world and the things that are considered naught to communicate His great grace for us sinners.
