Preaching (1990)
  1. Today, on the First Sunday of Advent, on the First Sunday of the Church Year, Jesus invites us to bring to Him our humble places.
  2. The Christ of Romans 13:8-14 is the one who is returning to fulfill our salvation even as we wait, living with one another in Christian love.
  3. We are all waiting eagerly for the Christmas Manger in Advent, but we must see the Word made flesh’s (strange the think about) final destination.
  4. When the “Book of Remembrance” is opened at the end of time there will be written on your ledger the words Jesus spoke to declare you righteous on account of His fully atoning death and glorious resurrection.
  5. He is Immanuel, God-with-us, and He is with His Church, very present where His name is, very present where His gifts are, and very present where His people are.
  6. On the Last Sunday of the Church Year, the Church remembers her Lord who is risen from the dead but rules from a cross.
  7. The pattern will continue until Christ returns. God tears down in order to plant and bring about new life.
  8. Good works, doing good, is not some sort of value-add bonus to the Christian life. Good works are the natural, organic outgrowth of being grafted into the Body of Christ.
  9. The unique character of righteousness in this text is that it will bring about “healing” for all the wounds inflicted by the unrighteous and the world.
