Ministry of the Church (1613)
  1. The sermon takes place in the context of a multi-facetted set of relationships experienced through the weeks and months of being together in congregation and community. Those relationships shape the credibility of the preacher in the pulpit. 
  2. Welcome to the Church, Can I Take Your Order? In this episode, we discuss Clement of Rome on the Church, especially good order, fruits of faith, and why the congregation at Corinth shouldn’t run off its pastors.
  3. Only briefly distracted by another Christmas rant, Craig and Troy return to the book of Timothy to examine the qualifications of a deacon of the church
  4. Despite our best efforts to avoid him, King Jesus remains very much unavoidable.
  5. In 1 Timothy 2, Paul sets out to describe how the church service is conducted and structured. What is governing principle for both?
  6. When and how did the church start this season of anticipation?
  7. Help comes for those who cannot help themselves. When we bottom-out and come to the end of ourselves, that is where hope springs.
  8. For Christians, Advent is the time when the Church patiently prepares for the coming of the Great King, Jesus the Christ.
  9. The Church stands firm on the word of promise that Christ will one day return to change what we know by faith into sight.
  10. 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?
  11. The epistle text from Colossians 1 declares how the great drama of redemption and human history ends.
  12. Preachers and church workers must also hear the gospel preached to them.
