Preaching the Catechism in Lent: Commandments & Creed

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss how to preach the Catechism during the season of Lent. This traditional practice for Lutherans is an excellent way to find God's two words, law and gospel, first in the Commandments (what God commands us to do) and then in the Creed (what God has done for us). These two words anchor our preaching and teaching of God's word.

Preaching Ash Wednesday

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss preaching on Ash Wednesday. The normal temptation with preaching Ash Wednesday is to focus on penitence as a habit of the mind rather than something God brings to us through the law. Nor should preachers forget that the best preparation for Easter isn't simply to preach judgment, but also to give the good news of Christ's forgiving promise.

Luke 23:27-43 – Christ the King

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson take up Christ the King Sunday texts. Here, they try to speak of Christ's true kingship as the sovereign of a new kingdom ruled by God's grace instead of the law. For those oppressed by accusation and judgment, this is surely good news. Paulson and Hoyum also provide an update on the future of the show.

Luke 21:5-36 – Pentecost 23 (C)

On this episode, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson talk about the end of times according to Jesus in the gospel of Luke. Much of the problem with the end times revolves around the issue of preparation, which the legalist assumes means preparation of the self through holiness which will be vindicated in the end times. But Christ warns against this, since he alone as giver of grace and forgiveness stands at the end of history itself.

Luke 20:27-40 – Pentecost 22 (C)

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the question of marriage and the resurrection. The Saduccees are skeptics of the resurrection, but Jesus teaches the resurrection from the books of Moses. However, we see that the resurrection is not a matter of the law and obedience but of the gospel and faith.

Luke 19:1-10 – All Saints (C)

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson suggest taking the readings for the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost to preach All Saints. They go through the story of Zacchaeus the tax collector who goes out to see Jesus. In return, Zacchaeus finds out that Christ was coming out to find him and bring salvation to his house. This is how Christ makes saints: by justifying the sinner by his grace. The Virgil Thompson essay mentioned can be found here.

John 8:31-36 – Reformation (C)

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the texts for Reformation Sunday. Specifically, they focus on Christ's words about freedom from John 8, where Jesus is disputing with the Jews in the temple. Here we find that freedom in the gospel is freedom from sin and the law's power to accuse.

Luke 18:1-18 – Pentecost 19 (C)

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the nature of prayer in connection to the parable of the unjust judge. Here we see what it means to pray in faith that God will grant what we ask, since we ask on the basis of what he has already promised. The lesson of the parable isn't the insistence of prayer or the reluctance of God, but rather speed and generosity of God's answers to prayer.
