Lectionary: Series A (543)
  1. On this episode of Preaching the Text, Steven Paulson and John Hoyum discuss the story of Christ walking on water and the drowning of Peter.
  2. Jesus is the One leading and teaching God’s people, who sustains them when they hunger in the wilderness.
  3. Paul speaks out of deep passion and great love for the salvation of all people, especially those bound to his ethnic heritage. Here we have Paul the evangelist. Paul is compelled by the love of Christ.
  4. God had always planned on a free and full salvation, and He always deliberately gives it through means, even such means as we see are in our text.
  5. But praise be to God, Christ has the last word on death and the word is “Resurrection.” Death is not a permanent form of bondage.
  6. Jesus called Peter to be a fisher of men so more people would be caught up in God’s gracious love through Jesus. But Peter needs to remember he is also one who needs to be caught-up in the same grace.
  7. They are not loved because of their value, rather their value comes only from His gracious declaration of who they are to Him. Israel’s character had nothing to do with God’s choice or declaration.
  8. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the parable of buried treasure.
