Doctor of Ministry Major Applied Project

In Search of Best Devotional Practices in Relation to the Practice of Preaching. Doctor of Ministry. Major Applied Project, Concordia Seminary, 2018. pp.

Preachers are tasked with faithfully carrying the Word of God to their people on a weekly basis, yet preachers often struggle to be spiritually fed for their own sake as well as for the sake of their congregations. This project seeks to investigate the connection between personal prayer and devotional reading and proclamation. In seeking best devotional practices among pastors, this study reveals a number of benefits to the man who is tasked with regularly proclaiming the …

Proper 23 • Hebrews 3:12–19 • October 11, 2015, Joel Okamoto

The promise is eschatological, a promise of life with God and all his people in the new creation, enjoying the life of the age to come.

Faithful Witness In Work And Rest, William Schumacher

Concordia Journal

Faithful Christian witness in work starts with the value of the work itself, in its own right, not as a means to some other end or a pretense for some specifically “religious” agenda.

Back To The Beginning Creation Shapes The Entire Story, Charles Arand

Concordia Journal

So creation is more than a stage or scenery for God’s story. It is integral to the entire story. After all, the entire story is about God’s relationship to his creation, especially to those extraordinary creatures that he had formed from the ground to look after and cultivate his creation.

The Chrisitian Day Of Worship Gatherings- Its New Testament Practice And Theological Basis, David Fielding

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This paper presents an antidote to sabbatarianism, namely the New Testament teaching of Christ as the fulfillment of the sabbath. A corollary to this idea is the matter of Christian freedom regarding the day for worship. The principle of Christian liberty in such matters is neglected by legalistic sabbatarians. It needs to be said that Christ did not directly abolish the sabbath. He fulfilled it. Observance of a particular day is not satisfactory in the Christiane era, as this study demonstrates.

Galatians-A Declaration Of Christian Liberty, William F. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

For our orientation it will be advisable briefly to survey the passages in which the word "freedom" or "free" occurs. It is early in the Epistle that Paul first touches on this topic (2:3-5). In the historical sketch of his career he relates what happened when he and Barnabas, accompanied by Titus, went to Jerusalem.

The Vicarious Atonement In The Sacrificial Ritual Of The Old Testament, Thomas Coates

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Inasmuch as the Levitical worship constituted one integrated body of ritual, the component parts of which were inextricably interwoven, it is difficult to study one section apart from the others. In full cognisance of this inherent but inescapable limitation, we shall devote our attention successively to the four chief elements in the Old Testament system of worships The Festivals; the Sacrifices and Offerings, the Sanctuary and the Priesthood.

Suggested Thoughts On The Question: Can We Escape Both Traditionalism And Liberalism, O. A. Geiseman

Concordia Theological Monthly

History reveals that the visible Church of God has periodically tended to decline and degenerate. Think how true that is of the period from Adam to Noah; Noah to Abraham; Abraham to Moses; Moses to Elijah; Elijah to the Captivity; Ezra to Christ; Apostolic Age to the Reformation; Reformation to our own day.

Discipline In The Ancient Synagog And Matt. 18, G. Mahler

Concordia Theological Monthly

By the ancient synagog is meant the synagogical institution as it constituted itself at the beginning of the New Testament era. It was then a well-established, flourishing institution, deeply rooted in the life of the nation. James could any of it: ''Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogs every Sabbath-day," Acts 15, 21.

Propositions On The Sabbath-Sunday Question, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The observance of one particular day, the seventh day of the week, is not a part of the Natural Law written in the hearts of men at the beginning and later codified in the Moral Law. We have no evidence of a command of God in the time of the Patriarchs, before and after the Flood, by which the Sabbath may be said to have been instituted.
