Lent (222)
  1. We were enemies, but because of the self-sacrificing love of Christ, we are made friends, indeed, even the adopted children of our Heavenly Father.
  2. The Church has traditionally understood Baptism as a naming Sacrament. It reminds us of our new baptismal identity.
  3. We cannot scan any random passage of Scripture and automatically assume the words are unconditionally addressed to us. Often, very often, they are not.
  4. Repent and believe the Good News! Everything is OK.
  5. The season of Lent gives almost unparalleled opportunity for preachers to placard before their auditors the Cross of Christ and beckon Christians to take up their cross and follow Him.
  6. This forty-day season of preparation for Easter is an opportunity for the people of God to rededicate themselves to hearing and responding to Jesus’ call to repent.
  7. While God may and does test one’s faith and life, yet He does not tempt with sin.
  8. The amount of Messianic/Christological connections in this account is stunning. This is an excellent Old Testament text with which to begin Lent!
  9. John T. Pless has prepared a midweek Lenten sermon series that will fix our eyes on the saving work of the triune God. Based on Martin Luther’s hymn “Dear Christians One and All Rejoice,” this series will provide preachers an opportunity to proclaim the saving work of God to their hearers throughout the season of Lent.
  10. Caleb and Scott Keith answer a handful of listener-submitted questions. The questions range from requirements and prohibitions concerning fasting to finding a better podcasting app. Sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the show.
  11. The gospel promise is that God in Christ knows exactly what your temptations are and still bids you find protection from them in him.
