About this original series

In brief, I'm Anita's husband, Robbie's daddy, a Lutheran (LC-MS) pastor, an author and podcaster, and an activist in Denver's Capitol Hill. I'm interested in culture, Biblical interpretation, holistic health, Mac, and the NFL.At least initially, I'm using this blip.tv account to post videos of weekly Bible studies that I'm teaching at St. John's Lutheran Church in Denver's Washington Park.

      1 Peter 1:13-21

      This week we continue our study in 1 Peter. Expanding on the foundation already established in the first 12 verses, Peter calls his readers to live lives that are holy and set apart, not only as an outflowing of the gospel, but also because they fear the judgment of God.Given the larger context of the book, chapter on essentially serves as a preview of what's to come. First the people are to recognize who they are in Christ, and then, given who they are and the eternity in store for them, they...

      Mark 6:7-13 ... Sort Of

      On Sunday, July 5, 2009, I had the opportunity to preach and teach at Ascension Lutheran Church here in Denver. Since my sermon (http://joeburnham.com/mark-61-6) only addressed half of the gospel reading for the day, I decided to use the other half as a springboard into a discussion of a passage that often frustrates those who emphasize grace over works ... Jesus teaching on the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25.

      1 Peter 1:10-12

      While we'd intended to cover quite a bit more this week, the two tangents from these three verses on how we approach reading the Bible (context and Christocentrically), combined with the richness of Peter's statement concerning the prophets of old (they knew about the suffering and glory of Jesus), took longer than expected.

      The Theology of the Cross

      On Sunday, June 21, 2009, I had an opportunity to teach highlights of Luther's Heidleberg Disputation at St. John's Lutheran Church in Denver, CO. On this particular weekend, many members of the church were on a church-wide camping retreat that had the theme, "Fresh Air, Fresh Faith". Playing on that, I wend with the title, "Camping at Home: Stale Air, Fresh Faith" with the goal of focusing on how even the trials and struggles of everyday life can build our faith (and more importantly, that ju...

      1 Peter 1:3-9

      As we continue with 1 Peter, we explore more on the importance of election in the life of a Christian under persecution, and how trial works to strengthen faith.At the close, we have some closing thoughts how Christians should view the Kingdom of God, is it something that we simply wait for until Jesus returns or is it something we get to embrace right here and now ... or is there a third option?

      1 Peter 1:1-2

      This week I launched a new study at St. John's, one that, I'm guessing, will take about 12 class sessions to complete. This of course means that, at times, we'll move far faster than we did in this opening session where we addressed most of the first two verses.So, why only two verses? As Peter opens up his epistle, he describes the people he's writing to as exiles who are, among other things, "elect". So, most of the session is spent discussion the whole predestination and election thing. Enj...

      Ruth 4:1-22

      In this final chapter of Ruth we focus on the tricky issues on the way Boaz approaches the nearer redeemer. Why does Boaz claim that the other redeemer would need to claim Ruth as well? How does taking the land hurt his own inheritance? And how is Boaz demonstrating incredible sacrifice by taking Ruth as his bride.

      Ruth 3:1-17

      As we move into Ruth 3, we explore the context of Ruth approaching Boaz and asking him to not only marry her, but to take on the role as the redeemer of Elimelech's land and therefore Naomi. Along the way, we'll discuss winnowing, the sexually charged atmosphere in which Ruth approaches Boaz, and we'll try connect some of the seemingly un-pious events in Scripture to today.

      Ruth 2:1-23

      Note: Unfortunately, the files for the remainder of chapter 1 were lost. As Ruth continues, the author begins to explore the life of the women once they've returned to Israel. In this weeks study, we again touch on the concept of a kinsman redeemer, we explore what makes for an honorable man, and we meet Boaz who takes Ruth and Naomi under his wing. Most importantly, we're invited to see Jesus reflected in the life of Boaz.
