Authority and Power

Posted on Saturday, May 7, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 1 comment

Introduction: We always mark and commemorate what we believe to be important. From birthdays to anniversaries, from independence days to holidays, we will take note. The issue, therefore, is what we find to be important. Attempts to banish this reality will only have the effect of selecting the wrong things to commemorate. The Text: When …

Garments and Salvation

Posted on Saturday, April 30, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 10 comments

Introduction: The imagery of clothes in the Bible can scarcely be overestimated. This strikes us as alien on two counts. First, our clothing styles are very different from other cultures (which is nothing new), but secondly, we have adopted a notion of clothing which is entirely unscriptural and unnatural. Our problem is not that our …

The Resurrection of the Entire Cosmos

Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 3 comments

Introduction We know from Scripture that Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion. Jesus died and Jesus was raised. But what power did the raising? How was this done? We know that Jesus was raised, but who raised Him? The Text: “I am the good shepherd, and know my …

Palm Sunday and Superlatives

Posted on Saturday, March 19, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 6 comments

Introduction There is absolutely no reason to believe that the crowd at the Triumphal Entry was the same crowd that was crying out for Jesus to be crucified just a few days later. This crowd was overjoyed to see Jesus, and was giving voice to their overflowing joy. And the kind of joy they experienced …

Savior of the World #6

Posted on Saturday, March 5, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 3 comments

Introduction: The gloomy old reprobate Ambrose Bierce said this about the book of Revelation: “A famous book in which St. John the Divine concealed all that he knew. The revealing is done by the commentators, who know nothing.” It is indeed unfortunate that we by our sloth have made a revelation into one of the …

Eye Has Not Seen

Posted on Saturday, February 20, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 3 comments

Introduction Mission is not something that the church is to do on the side. Mission is what the church is. Every Christian church is a mission church. Every Christian is in some sense, at some level, a missionary. But we must understand this rightly. We should not take it to mean that every Christian must …

Savior of the World #5

Posted on Saturday, February 13, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 2 comments

Introduction: In this series of messages we have been presenting what is, for many, a very different way of looking at the Scriptures. We have been talking about historical optimism, as opposed to the rampant historical pessimism of the modem evangelical world. But we must be careful in using phrases like “way of looking at …

Savior of the World #4

Posted on Saturday, January 30, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 6 comments

Introduction: Many Christians want to avoid millennial wrangles, and in an important sense, they are quite right. It makes little sense to fight with one another about when the divine peace will come. But other Christians want to avoid debate on the subject because they believe it to be unimportant. “After all, is not ‘the …

Savior of the World #2

Posted on Saturday, January 9, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 1 comment

Introduction: Far too many Christians take a phrase from Luther without the faith of Luther. They do believe that this world is “with devils filled,” but have no knowledge of the “one little word” which fells the evil one. That one little word is cross. Christ is the Savior of the world—not only because He …

Savior of the World #1

Posted on Saturday, January 2, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 4 comments

Introduction: Many Christians veer into one of two errors in their view of future history. Either they plunge into a very exciting study of the “end times” and become consumed with the book of Revelation and newspaper reports about the European Union, not to mention the killer bees, trouble in the Middle East, and so …
