Ministry of the Church (1641)
  1. Preaching which eschews the harping harangues of legalistic schoolmarms in favor of the Savior’s undeserved favor reflects the holy hilarity of the Gospel.
  2. 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?
  3. For our 101st episode, we are answering more listener questions, since we received so many.
  4. The Ichthus is a confession in picture form, a visual sermon of the gospel of Christ crucified.
  5. Don't lose hope. Don't avoid church on Sunday morning.
  6. You Silver-tongues Devil... We conclude our discussion of Dostoevsky’s dialogue between Ivan Karamazov and the devil from the Brothers Karamazov.
  7. All of this is interesting and useful in preparing a sermon, however, there are no explicit words of Gospel in this text. How does one preach without shoe-horning the Gospel into the message, perhaps in an inappropriate or confusing manner?
  8. Love for the brethren should be the hallmark of the Christian Church. It is basic to our witness to an unbelieving world .
  9. In the text, Jesus enters a Pharisee’s house for dinner. Between the invitation and the meal, however, Jesus transforms this man’s home into a place of God’s care.
  10. The following practices will prove to be beneficial for a preacher’s weekly sermon preparations.
  11. Walking in the light doesn't entail a spotless moral record but rather an honest appraisal of who we are.
