Lent 4 • Ephesians 2:1–10 • March 15, 2015


Lent 4 • Ephesians 2:1–10 • March 15, 2015

by Wally Becker We are saved by God’s grace, through faith in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of living as God’s people to this world which he loves (Jn 3:16). This passage gives us a picture of “the two kinds of righteousness.” The first portion of the text focuses on the grace of God: dead in sin, ..

Advent 4 • Isaiah 7:10–17 • December 22, 2013


Advent 4 • Isaiah 7:10–17 • December 22, 2013

By Wally Becker “Behold the virgin is about to become pregnant and bear a son, and you will call his name Immanuel” (Is 7:14). Unfortunately, the commentary for this part of Isaiah, written by Dr. Andrew Bartelt, that will be part of the CPH Commentary Series, has not yet been published.

Holy Trinity • Isaiah 6:1–8 • June 3, 2012

By Wally Becker Sometimes referred to as the “call of Isaiah,” these verses might better be described as an update in Isaiah’s assignment. Although a previous call to the prophet is not recorded, Isaiah had been serving in that role prior to chapter 6, during the reign of King Uzziah of Judah. The death of ..

Epiphany 6 • Matthew 5:21–37 • February 13, 2011


Epiphany 6 • Matthew 5:21–37 • February 13, 2011

By Wally Becker This passage is part of Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5 through 7. Although, at first glance, the verses in our text appear to be totally law, they need to be seen in the greater context of the life of a Christian—living in response to the gospel. Jesus is not describing ..

By Wallace Becker This is the Old Testament reading for Advent 2. “He comes.” Prepare for his coming.

Epiphany 6 · Mark 1:40-45 · February 15, 2009

By Wally Becker Mark gets right into the story. Immediately in chapter one, John the Baptizer is introduced and Jesus is baptized. He is tempted for forty days in the desert and then begins gathering his disciples. He drives out an evil spirit from a man on the Sabbath in the synagogue. Then, he goes ..
