The Cross (117)
  1. Right now (and I would add, for quite some time) there has been a debate within Christianity about the whole issue of culture.
  2. It's easy to become habituated to sin. It comes naturally, after all. The power and pressure of sin on us, from conception to the grave, is immense.
  3. A Roman execution device isn't exactly a picturesque scene of divine love on display.
  4. Two Natures and Maximum Effort! Riley and Gillespie continue to talk about Athanasius’ “On The Incarnation”, but this week they get into the historical, bodily resurrection of Jesus, and why Jesus’ resurrection upends our search for self-discovery and meaning.
  5. Two Natures and Maximum Effort! Riley and Gillespie talk about Athanasius’ apology in his writing, “On The Incarnation”, for the historical, bodily death of Jesus, and why Jesus’ death and resurrection is the end of religion.
  6. In Martin Luther's Small Catechism he borrows a line from St. Augustine about what defines a "god."
  7. Just in time for Holy Week, Daniel and Erick have come to Matthew's account of the death and burial of Jesus.
  8. Our goal is to proclaim the genuine good news—that’s what “Gospel” means—of Christ’s forgiveness for you. We do not offer you better tips, techniques or checklists. Instead, You Are Forgiven is sermons by faithful pastors who will clearly show how you cannot be forgiven by your own efforts, no matter how well you do on your homework, your checklist of tasks. But they will also show how you are actually and already forgiven because Jesus has done all that is needed, for you!
  9. If the cross were to happen today, not on Golgotha, but in our own locale, would we take selfies?
  10. One of the most famous things Jesus ever said was “Follow me.” He said it over and over. So much that it was recorded more than twenty times in the New Testament.
  11. The love of God in Jesus is our confidence when the world seems to teeter on the brink of self-destruction.
  12. The conversation between four year-old Jackson and his mom in the car after dropping off his siblings at school was all-too-typical.
