Ministry of the Church (1749)
  1. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit is poured out and the language of man is united again for the Gospel to be preached to the ends of the earth.
  2. How might your preaching of the work of the Spirit expand your own view of the Spirit’s work, and help your hearers gain an appreciation for the Holy Spirit’s activity in their lives beyond a standalone celebration, one day a year?
  3. Pentecost is a flashback. It drives us back to the past. It also propels us forward into the future.
  4. The God Behind The Veil. In this episode, we read Nathaniel Hawthorne’s, The Minister’s Black Veil, and discuss the hidden God, divination, and the mirror of the law.
  5. My greatest fear is simply this: I will be exposed for the phony I am.
  6. The glimpse of this final vision of healing has healed us before, it heals us here and now, and it will heal us again.
  7. Just as the disciples on the road to Emmaus recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread, so we, through the working of the Holy Spirit, recognize our Lord in the Word and Sacraments.
  8. I trust that because of the gospel, God will continue to mend what I, in my sin, continue to break.
  9. 1517 would not exist without the leadership, friendship, and faithfulness of Pastor Ron Hodel.
  10. Killer-Comforter-Praying Spirit. We conclude our reading and discussion of Johan Hamman’s London Writings. In this episode, we focus particularly on the Advocate and prayer.
  11. Jesus does not put us on trial and make us pay for our own sin, but he, himself, is put on trial in our place.
