His first question 'Can the Spirit Do Anything the Son Can't Do and Better?' cuts to the quick of our beliefs about the Holy Spirit.
I was taught by my homiletics professor that for preaching to be biblical 'the form of the text should determine the form of the sermon.' So, I wrote this sermon on Psalm 51- a poem- in verse. Good thing I didn't warn people ahead of time.
Jesus is God's prototype for a new humanity. You don't make a prototype unless you desire there to be others just like it.
Here's my sermon from this weekend on Romans 8.31-39, a Pauline response to Mark Driscoll, Jonathan Edwards et al who think God is more determined by his holiness than by his love.
