Salvation (839)
  1. We cannot scan any random passage of Scripture and automatically assume the words are unconditionally addressed to us. Often, very often, they are not.
  2. Repent and believe the Good News! Everything is OK.
  3. Ash Wednesday, is meant to remind us we have a death problem. All living things made from the soil shall return to it.

  11. What is Jesus' conception of, “How is God’s kingship made effective?” It would happen through preaching.
