Ministry of the Church (174)
  1. How intentional will we be about utilizing gospel spaces that already inescapably communicate?
  2. We have the great gift of freedom. But it is not the only gift. We also have the gift of conscience, and we have the gift of love.
  3. Preach the whole story, the whole macro narrative through the themes of Epiphany: light, illumination, baptism, enlightenment and divine glorification through Jesus Christ.
  4. Advent is a time of expectation, it is a time of remembrance, it is a time of hope, and it is especially a time of preparation by faith for all His comings.
  5. Jesus is the ultimate, endearing, and definitive answer to the world’s problems, not any political party or ideology, nor any religion or the combination of the two.
  6. Mary looms large in our theology, our liturgy, our confessions and creeds.
  7. You are the baptized, for in Christ we are all wet. The demographic dividers are washed away.
  8. The Magnificat invites us to enter into, consider, and embrace the worldview of a teenaged Jewish girl and her geriatric aunt: The one bearing the prophet Elijah which was to come and the other carrying within her womb the God whom she and her nation worshipped and feared.
  9. John’s excitement invites his readers to lay hold of this above all else: The lavish love of God.
  10. Only the resurrection of Jesus guarantees and facilitates divine presence and love to us as divine life for us.
  11. Christ Jesus brings his word and presence to where you are and he is even willing to do so through the likes of your personally present pastor.
  12. If Easter is about Jesus as the prototype of the new creation, then the Ascension is about His enthronement as the One who rules forevermore on Earth as it is in Heaven.
