KNOW WHAT YOU’RE ASKING FOR
The Reformers said that the preaching of the Gospel has two aspects: Law and Gospel. The law condemns and reveals our sin, and the Gospel reveals God’s remedy. If only law is emphasized, you end up with despair; if only Gospel, license. But when they are kept together, you have the fullness of God’s grace.

THE CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW
I believe it is extremely important to understand that Christianity is not only a doctrine to be believed and embraced and a faith to be personally experienced — by trusting Jesus and submitting to Him as Lord and Savior — but Christianity is also a lens through which we interpret and see all the world from the viewpoint of God’s grace: it is a world and life view.This is part of the total message, and is often where we drop the ball. If this idea captures your attention, please read last week’s sermon with this in mind and write your thoughts. I’d love to hear from you!

FREEDOM THE GIFT OF GOD’S SON, A Sermon for Independence Day, The Fifth Sunday After Trinity, July 4th, 2010, by David J. Miller, Vicar, Redeemer AOC, Loganville, Georgia
The British troops referred to the American preachers as, “the black regiment,” because of their black vestments, for they realized a major force inspiring support of the revolution came from the Protestant preachers of the Gospel of free Grace, the message of the Cross. John Adams called the voice of the American preachers “a great and thunderous voice.”
What was this connection that the founding fathers of our country saw between the Christian Gospel, specifically the Gospel as it was preached in the Evangelical Revival History has named “The Great Awakening,” and the thinking that led law-abiding Christians to take up arms against the most powerful empire on earth at the time? -
GRACE IN EVERYDAY REALITY, A Sermon for the Fourth Sunday After Trinity,
Philip Ryken, in his masterful commentary on Luke’s Gospel, calls it “the Gospel of knowing for sure.” A good sub-title, for Saint Luke did all his careful investigative reporting to make sure his reader might, “know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed” (Luke 1:4). You and I are in the same place as Luke’s ancient friend, Theophilus; we are brought to this Gospel to have our faith confirmed, to know Jesus for sure and to be thrilled with the knowledge of the Almighty made known by Him.

LUKE 15:1- 10, THE LOST SHEEP AND THE LOST COIN. A Sermon for the Third Sunday After Trinity, by David J. Miller, Vicar, Redeemer AOC
C.S. Lewis once said, “sometimes fantasy says best what needs to be said.” Parables are not fantasy, but they are stories that integrate reality. They make the truth clear by tying things together.

LUKE 14:15-24. THE GREAT SUPPER, A Sermon for the Second Sunday after Trinity
This seems to be the supper nobody wanted! The invited guests all declined to come, something that just wasn’t done in polite society in those days!
The excuses would have sounded somewhat familiar to those Jews well taught in the Old Testament; they in fact mirror the biblical exemptions from military service in ancient Israel, as she was about to enter the Promised Land.
