On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the gospel reading from John for the Sunday of Pentecost. They focus upon the way in which the risen Christ isn't absent from his church, but present in a new way. Christ "spreads" himself out and remains bodily present in the Lord's Supper. And through the Holy Spirit, his word of absolution is preached.

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss Christ's prayer to the Father before his betrayal and crucifixion. In this prayer, we overhear the Son's address to his Father in love. To preach on Christ's prayer, they talk about how to take the address of Son to Father concerning those Christ has won, and turn it around into a promise given to those who belong to Christ.

Unlike the usual interpretation of this passage, Paulson and Hoyum talk about the necessity of good works and service to the neighbor that come forth naturally from faith in Christ. They also discuss some of the ways that preaching about love and friendship loses sight of Christ's cross.
