Bryan Lilly begins his class on the Pastoral Epistles (1 and 2 Timothy and Titus). In this first class, he introduces the letters, their original recipients, and the major themes.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Deuteronomy 8, in which Moses reflects on Israel's wandering, and John 6, in which Jesus again claims to be the bread of life. God brings his people low in order to show them their need for his saving grace.
The Rev. Nick Lannon answers some questions to conclude his class on the biblical worldview: what about intersex? "Side B" Christians? Ancestral sins? These and more questions are addressed in this final session.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 2 Samuel 11, in which Nathan confronts David, and John 6, in which Jesus calls himself the bread of life. The law cannot save you; only Jesus can save, and he has given himself as a perfect sacrifice to do just that.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 6, in which Jesus walks on water. Jesus is here proclaiming to be Almighty God...but more than that, he's claiming to be the God who saves.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Ephesians 2 (in which Paul says that Jesus brings peace both to those who are far off and those who are near) and Mark 6 (in which Jesus regards a crowd as sheep without a shepherd). Everyone is the same: first as sinners in need of redemption, and then as new creations in Christ. There is no "us" and "them."
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Amos 7, in which the prophet warns about God's impending arrival with a plumb line. Only Jesus can measure up to God's standard. The Good News is that he has given his own righteousness to you.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 1 Samuel 17 (David and Goliath) and Mark 4 (Jesus stills a storm). The real battle for our lives is the one between God's judgment and our souls. Jesus, our savior, places himself between the two, giving us the victory that he earns.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Ezekiel 17 and Mark 4, a prophecy and a parable about growing plants. Jesus is telling us that the whole history of the world is focused on him: his life, death, and resurrection, which accomplished the salvation of sinners.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 3, in which Adam and Eve feel ashamed at their nakedness. Even as he is judging their sin, God promises them that there will be Good News. Jesus' victory is Good News for every one of us who are revealed as sinners.
