The Whole Secret in 4 Words | Leonard Sweet, LenTalk #121, PTS, Lectionary Semiotics, 17 July 22

About this sermon

Our Lectionary Passages for 17 July 2022: Amos 8:1-12 Psalm 52 Colossians 1:15-28 Luke 10:38-42 In this sermon at Adrian Camp, Georgia on 08 July 2022, based on the lectionary epistle (Colossians 1:15-28) and gospel passage (Luke 10:38-42) for 17 July 2022, Dr. Sweet presents a six-word concentrate of the gospel (3 of the 6 words are the same, hence “The Whole Shebang in 4 Words” as he likes to say) that you will never forget. What is “the secret that has been kept hidden . . but has now been revealed? Christ in/among you, the hope of glory.” In his unfolding of the 4 words revealed in this #LenTalk, his semiotics of the Lukan story of Mary and Martha will shock and surprise. Dr. Sweet also uses these 4 simple words to distill the complex theological doctrines of justification, sanctification, and glorification, as found in verses 21ff in Colossians 1: Justification: “(21) And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, (22a) he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, Sanctification: “(22b) so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable” Glorification: “before him- (23) provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven.” We would love for you to hit the "subscribe" button for these vlogs.
