“Why Lent?” and “Dying to Self”

_

This is one of the best anti-religion sermons that I have heard preached in a long time:

_

 Ash Wednesday sermon, 2014 > Dying to Self

_

Love it…hate it…indifferent to it…it’s going to work on you in any event.

_

( sound quality improves after a couple of minutes )

A Law/Gospel refresher course

   

_

If you aren’t too familiar with the Law/Gospel paradigm, this class is a must hear.

Pastor Mark uses some pages from a Gerhard Forde book (“A More Radical Gospel”) to help us get a better handle on Law/Gospel.

And then when we get back to the study of Steven Paulson’s book, it should help us grasp what he is saying to us.

And since Lent starts tomorrow (Ash Wednesday), I thought you might want to revisit this one:

Good stuff!

The Sermon on the Mount

_

How is this Word of God properly unpacked?

Is it a Word of God’s law…or God’s grace? Or both?

Listen in to Pastor Mark’s take on it:

Hear about >The Sermon on the Mount
