Pentecost (66)
  1. As good as it is to follow the example Jesus, it is even better to listen to the words of Jesus.
  2. Jesus sends all His people, according to their various vocations, to proclaim His praises and to bring comfort and forgiveness to the people around them.
  3. The faithful who gather for worship have heard and believed this promise, and they too are saved. But they need to hear it again.
  4. If Jesus can rise from the dead, then a camel can go through the eye of needle, a rich man can find a place in the reign of God, you and I can be forgiven.
  5. Jesus looks into our hearts. He sees our hang-ups. He sees the temptations that keep us from following him. He sees our shortcomings, our sin, and our self-inflation. He does not turn His eyes away from us.
  6. The big thing is God’s grand design, His good creation He has come to restore and redeem, the Kingdom of Heaven Jesus proclaimed in His life and embodied in His death and resurrection.
  7. It would be appropriate in your sermon to emphasize this woman’s suffering. But even more important will be to emphasize Jesus’ gracious response to her.
  8. Sometimes a little disturbance can help God’s people to find renewed comfort in His promises and a revitalized vigor for a life of faithful obedience to the One who rules the wind and waves.
  9. In Christ, God forgives, and those He forgives He incorporates into His missiological reign. Which means He uses your congregation (and your church body) to increasingly become a place of welcome for all.
  10. To be a Christian, to be perfectly sane, is to appear in this world like you are crazy. That is, we will look and sound like Jesus.
  11. We live under one Lord, Jesus. We rejoice that He is a good Lord who loves, forgives, and cares for us
  12. With their minds set on God’s grace in Christ for them and for all, your congregation will leave church this week prepared to be unfairly gracious toward everyone they encounter.
