Preaching (265)
  1. Why is it important for us to confess and remember the virgin birth? It is important because of its place within the total story of redemption.
  2. The mystery has been revealed! The mystery, of course, is the Gospel!
  3. These exhortations are dependent upon the accomplishments of Christ in the first Advent, with the upshot that upon the final advent the faithful will stand “sanctified completely” and “blameless.” Be mindful of both, neglect neither.
  4. The sneak-peek vision of the world to come, a preview of the Last Day, the Day of the Lord, has already been revealed, declares Peter.
  5. Human history and especially the Christian life have a shape and Jesus is its shaper at every point.
  6. There is life after death and, more gloriously, there is life after life after death, the resurrection of the body.
  7. Faithful preachers should remain steadfast in the biblical categories and terminology and preach the reality of death.
  8. Mindful that the pagans’ understanding of death is a finality, Paul says, “NO!” Death is not the end of humanity in God’s new world.
  9. Passover is the story that lets us interpret the full meaning of Christ’s death and resurrection.
  10. In the pursuit of democratizing the worship experience, we go from hearing the voice of God to hearing voices and in some cases hearing our own voice!
  11. The Church is like a beehive: One working for all and affecting all and all working for and affecting one.
  12. Nothing promotes good preaching quite like actually knowing the Word of Truth and delivering it from a disposition of passionate care, commitment through the long-haul, and life spent together with the people of God.
