Preaching (2213)
  1. Paul is not telling Christians to go searching for extraordinary opportunities to demonstrate holiness. Instead, he fills the ordinary relationships God has already assigned with extraordinary mercy.
  2. The reign of Christ is cruciform. Jesus ushers in His reign through a cross. His reign is spread by those who follow Him bearing a cross.
  3. Those first few words from the preacher’s mouth are worth their weight in spun gold.
  4. All Apologies. In this episode, we respond to another listener question. What does it mean to “sit with a text” and yet be prepared at all times to give an apology for the hope that is in us? How does the Holy Spirit work in and through believers to testify to the truth about Jesus? Does the Spirit work through non-Christians, and if so, how and to what purpose? How has modern Christian evangelism differed from pre-modern evangelism and apologetics? What do the gospels teach us about the character of evangelism? This and much, much more in this week’s episode.
  5. Identity is a gift from God given in Christ Jesus that forms our life as God’s people, that is, His Church.
  6. The Christian walks into every station of her life, not seeking opportunities to prove herself, but, rather, opportunities to embody the mercy that first claimed her.
  7. God often chooses the foolish things in the world and the things that are considered naught to communicate His great grace for us sinners.
  8. Instead of an example to chase, preachers preach a Jesus who seeks, finds, and remakes, even as He gives Himself away on the lips of imperfect preachers, Sunday after Sunday.
