Lectionary: Series A (543)
  1. Continuing with the Sermon on the Mount, this episode of Preaching the Text examines Jesus' teaching of the law. Christ doesn't change the law of Moses or introduce a new law, but teaches the law to his hearers that had been in force since the beginning.
  2. Isaiah says in summary “liturgical ritual without works is dead” because we render the meaningful worship of God meaningless and even sinful when we do not love our neighbor.
  3. Let us not recoil at the sight and sound of the crucifixion. It is the battlefield of victory. It is the throne of the King. It is the symbol of salvation.
  4. God has the power to take that which is small, that which is overlooked, that which is despised, and use it to create something wonderful.
  5. In today's episode of Preaching the Text we talk again about the distinction between law and gospel.
  6. I hope your people expect and even demand this of you. But how we proclaim the central message, that can (and probably should) vary.
