Preaching (2206)
  1. A multi-day workshop for pastors to hone the Craft of Preaching
  2. Whatever it is He has, be it bread, compassion, mercy, or forgiveness, He will always be sure there is someone there to distribute it to the beggar in need.
  3. This feast in Isaiah is the victory feast of God!
  4. Before he teaches, Paul grieves. Before he argues, he weeps. Before he explains God’s mysterious purposes, he opens his own heart.
  5. In Haidt’s findings, we have plenty to learn as preachers who are proclaiming God’s Word to His Body in its varied composition of reds, blues, and other hues.
  6. Ride On… In this episode, we engage a listener question — is Lutheran teaching double predestination within his debate with Erasmus? How are we to understand arguments for the bound will, such as: “Man’s will is like a beast standing between two riders. If God rides, it wills and goes where God wills… If Satan rides, it wills and goes where Satan wills. Nor may it choose to which rider it will run, or which it will seek; but the riders themselves fight to decide who shall have and hold it”? And so, we discuss God’s will, divine necessity, predestination versus election, the preacher's vocation, the effects of free will theology on American churches, the scandal of arguing for a bound will in relation to Christ, and much, much more on this episode of the Banned Books podcast.
  7. The powerful images presented easily capture your hearers’ imaginations, who may or may not already have assumptions about their meaning. This is fertile ground for your preaching.
  8. Paul fills the courtroom with questions, but the Christian ultimately answers none of them. God answers them all.
  9. The mystery of grace, though, is that He chose such a thing and then, in His naming, His declaring, His taking these wretches to Himself, they do, in fact, become His “treasured” possession.
