  • The Disciples' Christ (Luke 24:18-27)
    The unnamed centurion carries out murder. This is not to say that everyone who has died by his hand has been murdered, but his carrying out an order to kill an innocent man is murder. We noted on Friday that the centurion praised God for Christ’s innocence. He saw this with his Roman bias and in darkness.
    This is contrasted with the disciples who are familiar with Christ’s ministry. They are perplexed because they thought Christ was the messiah, but Christ died. Christ’s death does not fit into their system. The disciples never thought that Christ’s death has to take away death and definitively destroyed by Christ’s resurrection. So often we think about Christ’s death, but we do not see the significance of his resurrection. This is a reminder that we need to discern who God is rather than define him by our cultural expectations.

  • Reading Our Easter Story (Luke 24)

    Christ’s resurrection is one of the most important days in world history. If Christ is not raised from the dead then all of God’s promises fall flat. In fact, if Christ is not raised from the dead then there is no assurance of entering God’s eternal rest. As the Apostle Paul quotes Isaiah when he says, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die'“ (I Corinthians 15:32).

    Luke 24 assures us that our story does not end in death as we take hold of Christ by faith. No, our story is guaranteed a future beyond this age because we are grounded in Christ.

  • Good Friday: The Centurion's Christ (Luke 23:47)
    The centurion is charged to execute Christ. Christ is charged with insurrection. So, this centurion would most likely expect another insurrectionist uprising followed by a crucifixion. However, Christ is not put down like other men. He is clearly not an insurrectionist, but worthy of praise. We join together to hear the testimony and praise of the Centurion for our Good Friday Service.

  • Reading Our Good Friday Story (Service @ 6:30 Tonight)

    This is not so much a mediation, but rather just a reading of our text for our Good Friday service this evening at 6:30. We read the word of God thinking about the tragedy and the goodness of Good Friday. We certainly praise our God as we think about the work of our faithful savior.

  • Why Obey if Saved By Grace? (LD 32; Matt. 7:17-18)
    We are those who are created to do good works. We also know that faith is a gift that is given to us by God. Christ in the Sermon of the Mount gives us very strong exhortations to obey God from our heart. Where does grace fit into all this? Is grace something that enables us to be faithful?

  • What is Faith? (Hebrews 11:1-7)
    "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." This is true, but what is faith? What does faith really do? Hebrews teaches us that faith is the manifestation of the Lord's creative work. It is as we walk in faith that the power of the spirit is manifested.

  • Preached out of Heaven (Isaiah 6:4-13; LD 31)
    Isaiah receives his commission from the Lord to go and bring the word to God's people. This is not a commission that is really positive as the people will not hear or see the message that Isaiah delivers. They will be deaf and blind to the substance of the message. This seems to be a hopeless mission until we read the holy seed is its stump.

  • Why Suffer? (Hebrews 10:26-39)
    The letter to the Hebrews gives us a very strong exhortation not to turn away from the Gospel. The truth is that we do not want to fall into the hands of our God. We do not want to sin deliberately. The mosaic order teaches us clearly that God is serious about his justice. The reminder is to see and cling to what we have in Christ Jesus.
