Ministry of the Church (1636)
  1. The power of the Word of God is the power of God himself, for he is always faithful to his Word.
  2. A group of unassuming apostles was given a graphic illustration of how the Lord would use them to turn the world right-side-up through the upside-down logic of grace.
  3. Being the baptized just may be the last, great resistance.
  4. These words direct the people of God how to live in their identity as God’s children. We would say, this is the reality of our baptismal identity!
  5. Love bids us to choose life, always life, because the love of Jesus has already set us free for a life beyond our wildest imagination.
  6. The reason nothing can come before Jesus is because nothing endures beyond the grave except for Jesus.
  7. As the Spirit does His work, He produces new ways of living for individuals, households (like Philemon’s) and communities, that is, the Church.
  8. Preaching which eschews the harping harangues of legalistic schoolmarms in favor of the Savior’s undeserved favor reflects the holy hilarity of the Gospel.
  9. A Christ-Haunted Parable... In this episode, we discuss faith, segregation, and the Christ-haunted south as described by Flannery O’Connor in her short story, Revelation. What happens to us when we discuss race, gender, class, and culture apart from Christ Jesus? What does it mean that the churches are Christ-haunted? What happens when the churches are quiet about what God’s Word says to a nation’s leaders, clergy, and people?
  10. For our 101st episode, we are answering more listener questions, since we received so many.
  11. The Ichthus is a confession in picture form, a visual sermon of the gospel of Christ crucified.
