Lectionary: Series B (496)
  1. What does being free from sin, which is obviously a good thing, have to do with being free from the Law, which sounds dangerous?
  2. Samuel plays a very important role in preserving the line of Judah by anointing and instructing the first kings of the united monarchy—especially King David.
  3. John has been preaching a radical vision of God, where God holds people accountable for their sin and calls them to repent. What will Jesus do?
  4. In Scripture, to be "in Christ" is nothing but living in the light and reality of one’s baptism.
  5. Christ has come to make all things new, and water and the Spirit are used for His new creation just as it was for the original.
  6. We begin in ignorance and we end in ignorance. But, in the midst of our ignorance, Jesus is walking with us.
  7. Here is Paul’s repacking of the Christmas gift in terms of the personal and corporate implications of God so loving the world that He gave His only begotten Son.
  8. The receiving and/or possessing of a gift, even one from God, is far different than putting it to use.
  9. As Simeon sang, you might lead your hearers in a song of defiant and hopeful confidence to close out a year characterized by death and despair.
  10. Why is it important for us to confess and remember the virgin birth? It is important because of its place within the total story of redemption.
  11. The Lamb of God is stripped of His garment and sheds His blood on a cross to clothe us in robes of righteousness and garments of salvation—like a bridegroom who adorns himself and his bride.
  12. Not only is Jesus the New David, He is also the New Temple—the House and Kingdom! This is the throne that is everlasting.
