Preaching (2161)
  1. For all his theological and literary works, Giertz was always a preacher at heart. He recognized the pulpit was the perpetual fount of the Church’s faith.
  2. There is a revival, no less real and even more definitive, taking place in every church, every weekend, where God’s people gather around his gifts.
  3. Reading includes, on some level, striving. Hearing, on the other hand, remains passive.
  4. In this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson explore the temptation of Christ in the wilderness right after his baptism.
  5. Before we set out for the Lenten journey though, we meet with God on this mountain, at this moment, and in this holy gathering where our vision is transformed, looking forward to Jesus and knowing He will lead us all the way from death, to life, to a new life now, and a life in the Promised Land of Heaven forever.    
  6. The Transfiguration means no one must wait in uncertainty and darkness for the morning star to (re)appear.
  7. Jesus came not to overwhelm us with His majesty but to touch us with God’s love.
  8. Whatever conclusions one may have regarding the earth and redemption, they must be understood as a consequence of the ongoing work and reality of the incarnate Son of God.
  9. Predestination Is Sick! In this episode, we discuss Steven Paulson’s book, The Outlaw God, focusing our conversation on double presentation, preaching God’s electing promise to sinners, and the consequences of worshipping a philosophical-material god. What are the consequences for people who don’t have a preacher of God’s promise? What does God’s promise have to say to those who believe all people will go to heaven when they die? What are the consequences for sinners when they try to know God apart from the promise?
  10. Zephaniah has given us something more visceral to help us understand the love of God: the sound of salvation.
