Preaching (2230)
  1. At funerals, everyone becomes a theologian, or at least a grief counselor. And some people are not as good at those jobs as other people.
  2. The urgency of the call which you proclaim is not necessarily to do something radically different but to remain steadfast in what they are already doing.
  3. Instead of thinking you must become this state in order to be blessed, this emphasis teaches is that wherever you find people in this low estate there you find God.
  4. On All Saints’ Day, we are intentionally being reminded about those who have gone before us, those saints who are now at rest from their labors, yet they still remain as part of the body of Christ.
  5. The holy is not merely the pristine or the perfect. It is that which belongs to God and is set apart for His purposes.
  6. Since we are accustomed to approaching these words of God with the certainty of sin in our minds, I would like to try approaching them with the certainty of salvation in mind.
  7. The whole Old Testament points to the promise of the Messiah Jesus. Even seemingly unclear passages are promises about Him.
  8. It is the Word that makes Christians, sustains Christians, and sends Christians back into the world to love their neighbors.
  9. Those who have gone before us in the faith have no more need of absolution, for their baptisms have been brought to completion and they are eternally free from sin and done with death.
