Season 1 - Episode 47 - The Preacher's Devotional Podcast
What is the first petition?

What is the first petition?
Why has Christ commanded us to address God as " our Father"? Why is there added, " in heaven"?
Why is prayer necessary for Christians? What belongs to a prayer which pleases God and is heard by him?
What does the tenth commandment require of us? But can those converted to God keep these commandments perfectly? If in this life no one can keep the ten commandments perfectly, why does God have them preached so strictly?
What is required in the ninth commandment?
What does God forbid in the eighth commandment? What does God require of you in this commandment?
What does the seventh commandment teach us? Does God in this commandment forbid nothing more than adultery and similar shameful sins?
What does God require in the sixth commandment? But does this commandment speak only of killing? Is it enough, then, that we do not kill our neighbor in any such way?
What does God require in the fifth commandment?
What does God require in the fourth commandment?
But may we swear an oath by the name of God in a godly manner? May we also swear by saints or other creatures?
What is required in the third commandment?Is the blaspheming of God's name by swearing and cursing such a grievous sin that God is angry also with those who do not prevent and forbid it as much as they can?
What does God require in the second commandment? May we then not make any image at all?
What is the law of the LORD? How are these commandments divided? What does the LORD require in the first commandment? What is idolatry?
What is the true repentance or conversion of man? What is the dying of the old nature? What is the coming to life of the new nature? But what are good works?
Since we have been delivered from our misery by grace alone through Christ, without any merit of our own, why must we yet do good works? Can those be saved who do not turn to God from their ungrateful and impenitent walk of life?
What are the keys of the kingdom of heaven? How is the kingdom of heaven opened and closed by the preaching of the gospel? How is the kingdom of heaven closed and opened by church discipline?
What difference is there between the Lord's supper and the papal mass? Who are to come to the table of the Lord? Are those also to be admitted to the Lord's supper who by their confession and life show that they are unbelieving and ungodly?
Are then the bread and wine changed into the real body and blood of Christ? Why then does Christ call the bread his body and the cup his blood, or the new covenant in his blood, and why does Paul speak of a participation in the body and blood of Christ?
How does the Lord's supper signify and seal to you that you share in Christ's one sacrifice on the cross and in all his gifts? What does it mean to eat the crucified body of Christ and to drink his shed blood? Where has Christ promised that he will nourish and refresh believers with his body and blood as surely as they eat of this broken bread and drink of this cup?
Does this outward washing with water itself wash away sins? Why then does the Holy Spirit call baptism the washing of regeneration and the washing away of sins? Should infants, too, be baptized?
How does holy baptism signify and seal to you that the one sacrifice of Christ on the cross benefits you? What does it mean to be washed with Christ's blood and Spirit? Where has Christ promised that he will wash us with his blood and Spirit as surely as we are washed with the water of baptism?
Since then faith alone makes us share in Christ and all his benefits, where does this faith come from? What are the sacraments? Are both the Word and the sacraments then intended to focus our faith on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross as the only ground of our salvation? How many sacraments has Christ instituted in the new covenant?
But why can our good works not be our righteousness before God, or at least a part of it?But do our good works earn nothing, even though God promises to reward them in this life and the next? Does this teaching not make people careless and wicked?
What good does it do you, however, to believe all this? How are you righteous before God? Why do you say that you are righteous only by faith?
How does “the resurrection of the body”comfort you? What comfort do you receive from the article about the life everlasting?
What do you believe concerning “the holy catholic church”? What do you understand by the communion of saints? What do you believe concerning the forgiveness of sins?
What do you believe concerning “the Holy Spirit”?
Why the next words: “and is seated at the right hand of God”? How does the glory of Christ, our Head, benefit us? What comfort is it to you that Christ will come to judge the living and the dead?
What do you mean by saying,“He ascended to heaven”? Is Christ, then, not with us until the end of the world, as he has promised us? But are the two natures in Christ not separated from each other if his human nature is not present wherever his divinity is? How does Christ's ascension into heaven benefit us?
