Pentecost (81)
  1. Jesus is the only "brothers’ keeper" we have, and He is the only one we need.
  2. We might not grapple with God physically but, for most people, prayer can feel like a wrestling match.
  3. God never turns His back on His people. He visits them with salvation and even outsiders are welcomed in through His redemptive visitation.
  4. For Habakkuk and us, waiting is the hardest part and the only thing he has from God as He waits, the only thing that helps him, is faith.
  5. It is shocking to hear this word from both these readings, but it is meant to shock us to life, to wake us from the slumber of complacency, to see Christ in our neighbor.
  6. So, you have God’s generosity on the one hand and the greed of the elite on the other. Which would you rather have? Unjust scales or a scale breaking generous God?
  7. The crosier of Christ was the cross and the narrow gate He led us through to pasture in the doorway of His empty tomb.
  8. Where else was Israel going to go? There really was no other option. Trust in the God who saves.
  9. Proverbs is more than clever sayings. It is a book which reveals the wisdom of God in how you are to live your daily life.
  10. The ways of the world lead to death but the way of the Lord is life eternal in His presence.
  11. It is true that the congregation may not want to think about the God Jeremiah proclaims, but we need to hear this true voice in the marketplace of ideas in the world today
  12. How merciful is our God that He would impute that righteousness on us as well by grace through the same faith as Father Abram.
