### [Herod as Pharaoh?](https://blog.nes.edu/herod-as-pharaoh)

On Thursday, May 21, I’ll be speaking at a conference called [“From Interpretation to Preaching.”](http://www.stbernards.edu/events/st-bernarde28099s-events-calendar/rcts-preaching-conference/)

My presentation addresses Matthew’s use of Old Testament quotations/ citations in the infancy narratives (Matthew 1-2). There are four, five, or six ciations, depending how you count them.

In chapter 1 Matthew quotes *Isaiah 7:14* (the Immanuel prophecy), while chapter 2 contains quotes from *Micah 5:2* (with an addition from *2 Samuel 5:2*), *Hosea 11:1*, and *Jeremiah 31:15* (plus a closing citation of “the prophets,” but there is no agreement what the OT reference is).

### [Preaching God's Grace](https://blog.nes.edu/bid/197461/Preaching-God-s-Grace)

I often say as I listen to preaching that I can tell where the theological thrust of focus of the preacher is. We preach what we believe. My core belief, the one thought that I hope and try to convey to persons in every sermon that I preach is this: God’s grace is real and available, without qualification or precondition or any stipulation. It is “good to go.”
