    Genesis 27: God’s Surprising Sovereignty in a Blindly Led, Dysfunctional Family

    Colossians 3:1-17: Everything Together in Perfect Harmony: On Cultivating a Church Where Christ is All, and in All

    Colossians 3:1-17: Summary: Paul desires Jesus to be honored in the local church by the unity and harmony that He died and lives to enable and establish. Concerning this harmony, the exalted Christ is the sovereign root, His reign adorned is the functional fruit, His love exercised is the commitment that binds, and His worship true is the exhortation that brings us back to the root. These are the notes that produce the harmony that glorifies the Person and Work of God in Jesus. And in the end, that harmony sounds like this: Christ. Is. All. And. In. All.

    Job 3: Why Was I Not As Infants Who Never See the Light?: On the Sanctity of Human Life

    Job 3: Summary: A righteous man in the fire of intense suffering laments and curses the day he was born. He asks the question that many ask today: if we're destined for such suffering, why does God create us and bring us forth from our mother's womb? Today, this is one of several justifications for treating certain persons as disposable. Those persons are infant human beings in utero. 'Who wants to bring a child into this broken world? Isn't it a mercy to prevent their suffering by terminating their life altogether? Isn't death better than dying, ignorance more blissful than knowing suffering without purpose? Ought we not to take the matter of their lives into our own hands?' So the miserable man meditates. Why, why, why, why, why? Sometimes, only God knows. But what we know is that God gives and takes away, and that our suffering has a place in God's redemptive purpose for humanity. Far from being a justification for taking away someone's life, pain is a present part of being and becoming what God desires every person to be in life: humbly and faithfully human, like His Son. In the end, every human life, rooted as it is in the creative will and definite purpose of God, is worthy of the protection that allows it to be lived.

    Philippians 4:6-9: A Sermon for a New Year: Do Not Be Anxious About Anything

    Philippians 4:6-9: Summary: Do not be anxious about anything. The command is striking. Anything? The words that follow are filled with remedial truth, even if it must correct and convict. Paul offers the peace of God and, better, the God of peace to an anxious church; and with it, he offers two broad means of drawing such curing grace. For the peace of God, pray, and that peace will form as a guard around your mind and heart. Union with Jesus guarantees this operation. It makes departure from anxiety available at all times. And this is not a clearing of the mind. It's a filling of the mind by which the God of peace pacifies our need and anxiety. The thoughts of the mind touch our hearts, as well as our nerves. They're able to make us apostolic in our peace and contentment; that is, God is able by godly thoughts to make us like Paul at heart. He can be in prison and at peace. What we need most, we have in God. Where he's our habitat, we can be faithful wherever else we may be. The Christian church can be distinct from the world in this way: heavenly peace. May we know more of it in a new year. Sermon Outline: The conflict that requires a command: to be or not to be anxious. (4:6a) The command in answer to the conflict: do not be anxious about anything. (4:6a) The cure concealed in the command revealed: the God of peace and the peace He gives. (4:7, 9b) The counsel that conducts the cure: pray and think as those in Christ. (4:6b-9a)

    Numbers 24:15b-25: Advent in Numbers: A Star Shall Come Out of Jacob, a Scepter, Rise Out of Israel

    Numbers 24:15b-25: Summary: God is still for His journeying people, who abide a great threat to the more settled nations around them. The king of Moab responds to the news about them by calling on the diviner for hire, Balaam. He pays the man to revoke the blessing of God on Israel, but God is the Lord of all, including the lips of swindlers. The force of this extended episode is that God's power and purpose in Christ cannot be successfully opposed. Once God has convinced Balaam that He's not like whatever 'undercover gods' he's dealt with before, Balaam speaks only what God gives. Four oracles follow: what God has blessed is irrevocably blessed (23:7-10). God isn't mutable; He will do in history what He's determined to do from eternity, and that's birth a people who, imaging Him, inherit the earth (23:18-24). Like the garden of Eden with the shout of a Lion-King in their midst, their boundaries separate the blessed from the cursed (24:3-9). And speaking of this King, He's coming. He's a Star in the night, a Scepter of God in a world of rebellion, a Victor over the enemies of God's people. When God sends Him into the world, who shall live? Not Balaam, nor Balak, but only those united to Him by faith. Sermon Outline: See the focus of the oracle: the sights that sharpen this sight. (22:1-24:15a) See the origin of the oracle: this sight is a divine light. (24:15b-16) See the subject of the oracle: this sight is a preview of Christ. (24:17a-d) See the question of the oracle: this sight is an invitation to Life. (24:17e-24) See the tragedy in the text, and flee it: this sight goes unSeen. (24:25)

    Numbers 21:4-9: Advent in Numbers: Sin, Serpents, and the Saving Simplicity of Look and Live

    Numbers 21:4-9: Summary: Impatience is an ironic iniquity worthy of divine judgment, and Israel again grows impatient on the way. The Lord's patience, which is our salvation, is long-suffering, but long is long and not forever. Suddenly then, upon their sin, the Lord commissions a temporal judgment with eternal consequences for many of the impatient. Fiery serpents slither into the camp, biting the many, and bringing them to the grave and to God for punishment. The event sends the rest to Moses for prayers of mercy. God is indeed merciful. He doesn't exactly do as they desire, however. He appears to leave the fear of judgment among them, while providing for them an object of faith and instrument of salvation. They must look upon a bronze serpent, the very symbol of the judgment due their sins, and, as that look is the action of faith, they would be healed of their infirmity and live. In His discourse with Nicodemus, Jesus refers to this episode as typological of what He would do for sinners on the cross, as well as what any sinner may gain in Him by faith: eternal life. The sin that leads to a judgment of serpents. (21:4-5) The serpents that necessitate a Savior from sin. (21:6-7b) The Savior that God gives sinners to see. (21:7c-8) The sight that, resting on promise, saves. (21:9)
