Who Doesn’t Like a Parade? – Mark 11:1-11

Palm Sunday is a day to celebrate a very high point in the life of Christ, his triumphal entrance into Jerusalem.  But . . . what does this passage have to say to us today?  Join as we discover the royal and messianic undertones to this wonderful story and flesh out how we can treat Jesus like royalty in our own lives.

 

From God to Man: Illumination – 1 Corinthians 2:10-16

The last step along the way is illumination, but what exactly is illumination?  John says we don’t need a teacher because we have the Spirit, right?  Is this what he means?  Does the Spirit add meaning or change meaning to suit our situations?  Join us as we try to wrestle with the nature of the Spirit’s illuminating work!   Sermon originally preached on March 21, 2010.

 

From God to Man: Interpretation – 2 Peter 3:15-16

The next step along the way is interpretation.  In this sermon we look at questions like “Why do we need to interpret?”  and “What should I keep in mind as I interpret?” and “Does meaning come from the author or from the reader?”     Sermon originally preached on March 14, 2010.

 

From God to Man: Translation – 1 Cor. 2:4-5

The next step along the way is translation. But which Greek Text is the right one to translate from?  A Majority Text or a Critical Text?  How do we choose between manuscripts that disagree?  Which translation is the best and why?    Sermon originally preached on March 7, 2010.
