During the Fall of 2010, I am writing a series of short Bible studies for the Mennonite Weekly Review. They are focused on the picture of God in Exodus and several of the psalms. Here are links to these essays:
(2) Exodus 20: Rules for the Saved
(4) Exodus 34: Wrath and Mercy
(6) Psalm 19: Rules that Give Joy
(10) Psalm 66
(11) Psalm 90
(12) Psalm 91
(13) Psalm 139
I have started again on my series of sermons on Jesus based on the Gospel of Luke. My October 17 sermon, the eighth in the series, focuses on Luke 9, which is a focused discussion on Jesus’ identity—prophet or Messiah or Son of Man or Son of God? These are the options mentioned in the text.
The sermon suggests that the key motif in this chapter of Luke that clarifies Jesus’ identity is how Jesus was a troublemaker. And he serves as a model for his disciples to join him in “holy troublemaking.”
The sermon may be found here: it’s called “The Troublemaker.” The other sermons in the series may be found here.
