Salvation (870)
  1. If your congregation promotes and supports “family values,” you should be prepared to take this text head-on.
  2. The Father in Heaven is the only one we have legitimate reason to fear. But in Christ, we learn that the Father knows His children intimately and values His children exceedingly.
  3. Things are falling apart. Nothing new, just a different way. Jesus falls smack dab in the middle of all this shit!
  4. As the storm waves of life crash into us, threatening to pull us down into the undertow of sin, Jesus comes and stands between us and the furious tides.
  5. Before the sending is the gathering. Before the gathering is the compassion. Before the compassion is the seeing. And it all starts with a gracious God.
  6. The Lord, who is with us, retains authority over us. His promise calls for trust and obedience.
  7. It's ok to remember those who gave their life for their country and not remind them that Jesus did something greater just so they don't get a big head. You can tell them the Good News however! Sins forgiven - for free!
  8. Whether we are sheltering at home on Pentecost or gathering together in church, we have reason for praise. Jesus Christ is the source of the Spirit and that Spirit will never fail.
  9. We know God has a plan to bring forgiveness and salvation and healing to people, but we can’t see how it’s all going to work out.
  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 question isn't "what are we going to do," the question is "what aren't we going to do?" In this episode, Jesus becomes sin and death.
  12. Dangerous Bible stories show us a God who has no problem whatsoever using the muck and mire of our worst days to make his progress toward his good goal happen.
