Salvation (840)
  1. We at 1517 are utterly committed to keeping the main thing, the main thing.
  2. Mark makes no effort to impress listeners or win votes. His voice aims only to prepare those who hear it for the coming of the Lord.
  3. Jesus desires for us to watch. The question, however, is, “How do we watch for the return of Jesus?”
  4. God is coloring over your sin and making you fragrant; he is making you righteous in his sight. The old is gone, forever covered over by this new work.
  5. In this context where death looms large, Jesus reveals a kingdom where life looms even larger.
  6. The Pirates of Penance part 2. In this episode, we continue to examine Girolamo Savaronola’s sermon on penance. What happened in Florence that occasioned this sermon, and what can it teach us about church and society today?
  7. The Pirates of Penance, part 1. In this episode, we look at pre-Reformation preaching. Girolamo Savaronola’s sermon on penance is read and discussed. What is penance, what effect did the sacrament of penance have on church and society, and what effect does it have on us at present?
  8. The tragedy of this parable is not the failure to serve. It is the failure to truly know your Savior.
  9. The parable is harsh. It judges. If you do not believe, you will not be saved. But let us pause for a moment and think about why Jesus is telling the parable.
  10. Just like we end up walking in circles when lost with no navigation instruments, so does humankind outside of Christ. Nothing has changed since the Reformation. People still suck and God still loves.
  11. On this episode, Dr. Paulson expands on what Luther called Isaiah’s amen gloss.
  12. Jesus breaks through our barriers in His beatitudes. He shatters our conceptions of the blessed life and opens the Kingdom of God to all people.
