Ministry of the Church (1749)
  1. Gatekeepers & Madmen. We read and discuss two parables, by Franz Kafka and Friedrich Nietzsche. What happens when people don’t have a preacher sent by the Holy Spirit to declare forgiveness? Without the Gospel, where does the law end?
  2. We do not typically give much thought to the title at all, missing a chance to create greater anticipation for the preaching of the Word before it has even begun.
  3. Craig and Troy come back for another round of discussion on the Lord's Supper: the what and the why and the where, but never the how.
  4. For Japan’s highly secularized elite, alienated by collapsing opportunity and the materialistic void left behind, Bach’s music was a balm.
  5. Humble Kings & Flightless Geese. We read and discuss two parables by Soren Kierkegaard. In this episode, the purpose of parables, the condescension of God, and why there’s no forgiveness in Kierkegaard’s parables.
  6. As astounding as co-eternity and co-equality with the Father in majesty and glory is, this is not the most significant answer Jesus gave in this Gospel reading, not for us at least.
  7. Our daily remembrance of baptism, our daily dying and rising, is a daily joining to Jesus and His death and resurrection for us.
  8. In the Lord's Supper we receive an enormous gift. Why make it more complicated than what Jesus says?
  9. The relationship between faith and prayer or belief and worship is mutual. Faith produces prayer and prayer expresses faith.
  10. What happens when the knowledge of the Law doesn't bring power?
