Preaching (2239)
  1. Jesus is the Savior. He is not a coach, not a great example or teacher, and not a dispenser of spiritual favors in exchange and in proportion to the purity and abundance of one’s faith.
  2. I would encourage the preacher attracted to an opportunity to harangue his hearers because of perceived or known indiscretions of gossip and the like to, once again, resist for the sake of the entire community. As always, focus on the Christ.
  3. In the final analysis it isn’t a matter of whether you use rhetoric, but how. Inasmuch as your preaching is still public speaking...you’re going to get rhetorical.
  4. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steven Paulson discuss a failed instance of the disciples trying to heal someone.
  5. The people of God have experienced millennia of the gap, waiting and longing for restoration, so naturally they are astonished when they get a glimpse of the Kingdom.
  6. God has given us a great gift through Christ Jesus. He has forgiven us and declared us righteous and holy. He now blesses us by calling us to serve Him in the lives of those around us.
  7. He is a God who changes curses into blessings. We see that clearest in Jesus, whose life, ministry, atoning death, and glorious resurrection is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
