Introduction to the Third Article of the Creed

God accomplishes great things through the Lord's Supper. Here, our Lord delivers the forgiveness of sins not as a generic doctrinal statement but through a physical means delivered particularly to you. The Supper is accomplished not by works but, as Luther states, "for the words “For you” require nothing but believing hearts."

How can water do such great things? This episode of The Outlaw God focuses on the power of Baptism. In Baptism, God joins his powerful and creative word with the physical means of water to deliver His sure promise of life and salvation. Dr. Paulson emphasizes the confident nature of Baptism and our ability to cling to its physical application individually to believers.  Show Notes: Support 1517 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What’s New from 1517: 30 Minutes in the NT on Youtube Remembering Rod Rosenbladt Preorder: Encouragement for Motherhood Edited by Katie Koplin Available Now: Be Thou My Song by Kerri Tom Last Chance: NWA Conference May 3rd-4th More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Pauslon

Dr. Paulson concludes the lessons on the Lord's Prayer. Here, we are given an Amen to God's gifts of body and soul. This amen is our great encouragement that God's gifts are not probabilities but certain promises he gracefully delivers to us.  Show Notes: Support 1517 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What’s New from 1517: 30 Minutes in the NT on Youtube Remembering Rod Rosenbladt Preorder: Encouragement for Motherhood Edited by Katie Koplin Available Now: Be Thou My Song by Kerri Tom Last Chance: NWA Conference May 3rd-4th More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Pauslon  

In this episode, Dr. Paulson discusses how the pure comfort of the Gospel overcomes evil. This petition reminds us that God has not left us alone, powerless in the face of sin and death. That is, we have the benefits of Christ and his resurrection, and death is not a master over us but has been overcome.  Show Notes: Support 1517 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What’s New from 1517 30 Minutes in the NT on Youtube Remembering Rod Rosenbladt Preorder: Encouragement for Motherhood Edited by Katie Koplin Available Now: Be Thou My Song by Kerri Tom Last Chance: NWA Conference May 3rd-4th More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Pauslon
