Preaching (262)
  1. Sin affects body and soul, right down to the core of our humanity. It calls for a drastic cure, for extreme measures.
  2. We still live in the hope of His coming, though many generations have come and gone in that hope. Why, though, does it make any difference?
  3. Sin has had its teeth wrenched out. Since Christ was raised from death, that ugly monster has no power over us.
  4. The outward sins we do all begin with Sin hidden in our hearts. But we cannot see that, it has to be revealed to us by a spiritual scan, an MRI from above.
  5. The word which justifies by bringing faith in baptism is the same powerful word that recreates, regenerates, and re-births a human being in baptism.
  6. We profess belief in the virgin birth of Jesus as not only part of the Christmas story, but a true part of the total story of redemption.
  7. Jesus is taking the Law and setting it forth in such a way that we get a good look at what is going on in us.
  8. Our reading presents for its readers both the anticipation of God’s Messiah and advent of God’s Messiah: Promises made and promises fulfilled.
  9. The will of the triune God is we are thankful for the goodness, grace, mercy, love, peace, and truth that flow from His works of creation and redemption.
  10. The future has come, and the future comes in the resurrected Christ who is present with His real voice and His real Presence in His holy Word and blessed Sacraments.
  11. The Magnificat invites us to enter into, consider, and embrace the worldview of a teenaged Jewish girl and her geriatric aunt: The one bearing the prophet Elijah which was to come and the other carrying within her womb the God whom she and her nation worshipped and feared.
  12. Jesus is situated at the center of world history, a history which is going somewhere, from an Alpha point to the Omega point, and it pivots on the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ.
