Preaching (262)
  1. We have the great gift of freedom. But it is not the only gift. We also have the gift of conscience, and we have the gift of love.
  2. Preach the whole story, the whole macro narrative through the themes of Epiphany: light, illumination, baptism, enlightenment and divine glorification through Jesus Christ.
  3. Advent is a time of expectation, it is a time of remembrance, it is a time of hope, and it is especially a time of preparation by faith for all His comings.
  4. Jesus is the ultimate, endearing, and definitive answer to the world’s problems, not any political party or ideology, nor any religion or the combination of the two.
  5. What is implicit by way of accoutrements and ceremonies becomes explicit in the sermon: Beliefs are put to proclamation.
  6. This divine self-attestation is, in other words, the Lord preaching the Word of the Lord; the Christ of the Gospel preaching the Gospel of Christ.
  7. Our stories, be they never so inspiring or worthy of emulation, should never be equated with proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Gospel Jesus Christ commissioned to be proclaimed.
  8. The greatest example of consistency and the Spirit of loving generosity is, of course, Jesus Christ our Lord.
  9. Paul’s endurance substantiated and authenticated his ministry as being “of God” in ways not unlike other Christian witnesses and martyrs.
  10. With the resurrection of the Christ the mystery of life after death became a lot less mysterious. It moved from the realm of conjecture and fantasy to a reality grounded in (of all things!) our human bodies
  11. I found in Jonathan Edwards an unexpected voice articulating beautiful aspects of death through the lens of Christ.
  12. Eyes which are fixed on what is unseen will see the entire world in a different way.
