Lectionary: Series C (534)
  1. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the dedication of Christ at the temple.
  2. We ourselves are both recipients of God’s grace as well as messengers sent with His word of grace for other people whom we encounter face to face, whether neighbors or close family members.
  3. We often focus on Christ’s obedience unto death. Here, the focus is on Christ’s obedience unto Incarnation.
  4. This Advent, waiting gives birth to God’s Christmas love.
  5. In the season of Advent, we speak of a present-day hope that we have in God through the work of the Holy Spirit to create and sustain faith in us through the Word and Sacraments.
  6. God has you surrounded (in a good way). You have nothing to fear. Your heart and mind can be at rest.
  7. This Good News which we cling to in hope is that, despite our restless and often fruitless seeking for meaning and belonging, God Himself sought us. God seeks, and God finds.
