Promises of God (230)
  1. We have seen a vision better than an angel. We have seen God on the cross. A God who is willing to suffer for us.
  2. Who is a true child of God? Who is a true child of the promise? Paul gives a surprising allegory that helps us understand just how easily we fall into the trap of selling ourselves back into spiritual slavery.
  3. Ever since the tragedy of the Garden, God’s plan of redemption has been in motion. His movement upon this world has never ceased, and it never will.
  4. When we are hurt, we cry out to God. But sometimes when the hurt gets really intense, our lament turns to complaint. Not only is this normal, but almost every lament in scripture contains a complaint.
  5. Comfort is not a platitude; it is a promise. A promise from our God who left his place of glory and died a sinner’s death for poor sinners.
  6. When it comes to God’s word, our help only obscures his power and grace.
  7. Paul shows that the Law was never intended to save, but that salvation comes only through promise. The Law merely served as an instructor until the coming of the promised Christ.
  8. We are meant to serve in love both our neighbor in need as well as the neighbor who doesn’t think they need us.
  9. God will keep his promises, but how he keeps them is often quite surprising.
  10. The Psalms do anything but present a sugar-coated presentation of the Christian life. In fact, they are decidedly real about the missed expectations we face so often.
  11. The point is that the whole lot was wicked. And so were the Galatian Christians. And so are we.
  12. Zipporah and Moses were bound by blood. More than that, God and Moses were bound by blood.
