Preaching (2169)
  1. People live and move in story, and the effect of story is that it creates distance for them rhetorically which makes the hearer feel safe to explore and cared for by the preacher.
  2. The same words of hope and peace that were entrusted to Israel are available to all, to “everyone who believes” (Acts 10:43).
  3. What Moses suffered in a limited way Christ actually endured fully on our behalf!
  4. Those whose lives matter to Jesus show others how they, too, matter. This is part of the Christian’s evangelical witness, to value the people in our world who feel like they have no value.
  5. The Spirit is not the endpoint of the sermon, but the means by which this name is delivered and confessed.
  6. God’s grace embraces us in the same manner as parents’ attachment to their children instinctively causes them to scoop even their misbehaving little ones up into their arms.
