Redemption (101)
  1. Human solutions to problems, important as they are, are inadequate to meet our deepest needs
  2. Grace comes for every foolish, self-absorbed sinner, for every “Nabal,” and announces that there is one who has already taken it upon himself to shoulder all of our wrongdoing, paying the price for it through the sacrifice of himself.
  3. In the sacrament, we receive an earnest of that future promise here and now in the body and blood of Jesus given and shed for us.
  4. Jesus makes David’s words his own, because David’s words were Christ’s to begin with.
  5. The drama of Scripture is about God renaming us by bringing us into his image-bearing family once again. And it would take “a name above all names” to accomplish it.
  6. Forty days after giving birth, Mary, along with her husband Joseph, presented their firstborn Son at the temple and "bought" him back with a sacrifice of two small birds. This is known as the "Presentation of Our Lord."
  7. Godly, upright in heart, righteous. Sinful, sorrowful, wasting away.
  8. Craig and Troy love Psalm 51 because of the truth it speaks: we are sinful, and God is gracious. When God cleanses, we are indeed made clean.
  9. Even from the moment of the Fall, God has never left us without His gracious promise of redemption. God moves first to cover us.
  10. We might think of the poetry of the Psalms as a dance between creation and redemption.
  11. There’s no possibility of understanding the grace of Romans 6 and the glory of Romans 8 unless you identify with the excruciating struggle of Romans 7.
  12. This week, we are grateful to publish a series of sermons from our beloved late Chaplain, Ron Hodel. This is the fourth installment of that series.
