Ministry of the Church (1749)
  1. When and how did the church start this season of anticipation?
  2. Help comes for those who cannot help themselves. When we bottom-out and come to the end of ourselves, that is where hope springs.
  3. For Christians, Advent is the time when the Church patiently prepares for the coming of the Great King, Jesus the Christ.
  4. The Church stands firm on the word of promise that Christ will one day return to change what we know by faith into sight.
  5. God Doesn’t Do Prophet-sharing. In this episode, we discuss Gerhard von Rad’s explanation of a prophet’s freedom and lack of choice regarding his call and proclamation. What’s at stake for preachers, and all Christians, when God calls us to speak a specific word, to a specific people, at a specific time according to his decision?
  6. The epistle text from Colossians 1 declares how the great drama of redemption and human history ends.
  7. Preachers and church workers must also hear the gospel preached to them.
  8. Whatever else may be said about the Last Day it consists of these two inseparable things: Christ’s coming and His kingdom people being gathered to Him.
  9. The name of God invites us on a journey to see how God will remain present with his people, listen to their cries for salvation, know their sufferings in such an intimate way so as to incarnate them in Christ.
  10. The words of Jesus shine with a graceful brilliance among the broken fragments of this world.
  11. Through water, blood, and word, the Spirit never stops pointing us to Christ, and even more, giving us Christ.
