Whatever the Day Brings
Susan R. Garrett
Professor of New Testament
Romans 8:11-17
LPTS Baccalaureate Sermon
May 18, 2008
In this Baccalaureate service focusing on baptism, Dr. Garrett explores how our new life in Christ is possible, and how we should live our lives to fulfill the promise of our baptism. Our new life comes about because of a death—Jesus’ death, in which as Christians we share. But death couldn’t hold Jesus, and it can’t hold us, either. Listen to the sermon. Read the sermon in PDF

Behold I am Doing a New Thing
David Sawyer
Director of Lifelong Learning and Advanced Degrees
Associate Professor of Ministry
1 Corinthians 15: 20-26
Isaiah 43:19
Originally preached on April 28, 2006
The text for today from 1 Corinthians is the foundation of an old theological argument—the struggle between life and death in the resurrection of Jesus. The speaker once believed that if it can’t be measured, it can’t be real. He confesses here that was siding with death instead of life. The trouble with the epistemology he had adopted was that it left no room for God to do anything new. Listen to the sermon. Read the sermon in PDF.

Like Mary and Martha who mourned the death of their brother Lazarus, we believe that death must be removed in order to have Emmanuel – God with us. Instead, the overwhelmed Jesus overwhelms death by moving the stone to stand in the middle of death. Listen to the sermon.
