Deuteronomy 18: God promises that there will be a successor to Moses who will be a true prophet. That person ends up being Joshua, but in what ways are we Moses' successors? How are we prophetic? What is a prophet?

Psalm 111: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." This recurring line in Scripture is problematic for many contemporary hearers because we find distasteful the idea of fearing God. Preachers tend to resolve this dilemma by saying that "fear" really means "be in awe of." Does it really, or is that just wishful thinking on the part of us preachers?

1 Corinthians 8: Paul warns against engaging in behavior that might confuse or lead astray other Christians. The passage speaks of eating food offered to idols, but many of us today are probably not doing that. What are some contemporary analogs to this practice, and how can we modify our behavior to help the weak?

Central to the passage is the idea that life is not all about me but that I am obligated to care for others. At the same time, caring for others does not mean codependency or enabling, for such behavior is ultimately not really helpful to others. It would be useful to preach about our obligations to others and how to fulfill those obligations in a way that builds up the body of Christ.

Mark 1: Christ performs an exorcism during a worship service. How does Christ exorcise demons each week during worship? For instance, how do sermons, prayers, hymns, baptism, holy communion, and fellowship drive out demons?

How does Christ use us to be exorcists in the world?
