The Greatest Commandment: Getting the Theory Right and Putting It Into Practice

Jesus names love of God and love of neighbor as what the whole law hangs on, and the experts who asked him knew the answer but did not live it. The sermon moves from getting the doctrine right, to actually practicing love, to finding the power to love in the Christ who was hanged for loveless people.

What was preached

• Matthew 22:34–40
• Matthew 23:1–4
• Psalms 2:1–3
• Psalms 136:1–3
• Luke 10:25–37
• 1 Corinthians 13:4–7
• 1 John 4:7–12
• 1 Peter 4:8
• John 3:16

• Why did the lawyer test Jesus with a question about the greatest commandment when he already knew the answer?
• What does Jesus mean when he says all the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments?
• What did the good Samaritan do that the priest and the Levite did not?

   Our Father in Heaven: The Lord's Prayer as a Missionary Prayer

   A Guided Tour of the Lord's Kingdom

4. Sunday, October 11

   Politics, Taxes, and God

   Jesus is cornered by enemies who want him executed over the tax question, and he slips the trap by asking whose image is on the coin, teaching his people to give the government what belongs to it and to give God what belongs to God.

   Doing Church in an Age of Deconstruction

   Peter and John, ordinary men filled with the Spirit, stand before the same authorities who killed Jesus and cannot stop speaking about what they have seen and heard. The sermon holds them up as the pattern for following the authentic Jesus rather than the authentic self in a culture that keeps taking the faith apart.

   By Faith: Four Pictures from the Life of Moses

   The Faith of Our Fathers

   Four forefathers of the faith, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, took God at his word when they were tested, when the promise was still future, and when they were dying, and their faith is held up as a model for ours.

   Strangers Seeking a Better Country

   The faith that endures is the faith that keeps looking past this life to the city God has prepared, the way Abraham and Sarah did while they lived as strangers in the land promised to them.

   Overturning Tables

   Over two days in Jerusalem Jesus cleanses his house and then announces its end, and the reform he brings comes down to hearing God's word and praying in faith.
