May 22, 2017 21:54 - 33 minutes - 19.1 MB

After Jesus got that resurrection body, God wasn’t done. The resurrected Jesus is exalted, enthroned, and glorified.

The disciples will know it when… Read more about Jesus is Glorified, And So Are We #LectioCast

Jesus is Raised: So Walk in Loving Fear #LectioCast

May 15, 2017 16:11 - 30 minutes - 17.7 MB

Jesus has been raised. I think this means we don’t have to worry about crazy passages from 1 Peter.  Acts 17:22-31 Paul unravels the narrative of polytheism, claiming for one God a unique place of sovereignty and honor. And then he pulls in a Jesus juke at the end to call for repentance. Masterful. Psalm… Read more about Jesus is Raised: So Walk in Loving Fear #LectioCast

God’s Great Yes to Humanity’s Feeble No—Easter 3 #LectioCast

April 25, 2017 19:39 - 33 minutes - 18.9 MB

The crucifixion is humanity’s attempt to say No to God’s anointed Lord and Christ. The resurrection is God’s mighty Yes to Jesus, and God’s continuing Yes to humanity as well.  Acts 2:14a, 36-41 God continues to say YES in the face of humanity’s feeble NO. God says YES to Jesus, and God continues to say… Read more about God’s Great Yes to Humanity’s Feeble No—Easter 3 #LectioCast

April 10, 2017 21:02 - 39 minutes - 22.8 MB

He is risen indeed! Acts 10:34-43 The radical social practice of table fellowship: showing us how broad is God’s desire for communion with people.

Lent Week 6: Liturgy of the Passion #LectioCast

April 03, 2017 17:28 - 35 minutes - 20.5 MB

It’s time to follow Jesus to the cross: where God is absent, and the mission seems to fail. Except for those words from the centurion that turn the world upside down.

But shame is not the story,… Read more about Lent Week 6: Liturgy of the Passion #LectioCast

The scripture passages this week bring us into a world of light: of light that shines so that we can see.

Lent Week 3: Is the Lord Present to Provide? #LectioCast

March 13, 2017 19:53 - 37 minutes - 21.2 MB

In times of hunger and thirst, do we trust God to be present? Do we trust God to provide? Do we believe that this is the path to eternal life rather than a roadblock keeping us from it?  Genesis 17:1-7 The people grumble and test and complain. But only because they were worried about dying… Read more about Lent Week 3: Is the Lord Present to Provide? #LectioCast

March 06, 2017 19:26 - 37 minutes - 21.2 MB

From Abram to Jesus to the inclusion of the Gentiles we are called into a story of utter dependence on God: trusting God to do for us what we would otherwise try to do for ourselves.  Genesis 12:1-4a Abram has to leave behind everything that should provide for him.

February 28, 2017 06:42 - 35 minutes - 20.1 MB

Lent begins. And we are invited into the ancient practice of fasting. Fasting does not mean adding a new practice, but shedding a practice for the purpose of deepening our trust in God.

Psalm 2 If… Read more about Transfiguration Sunday: Up and Down the Mountain with Jeffrey Pugh #LectioCast

What Neighbor Love Looks Like with Rev. Dr. Wil Gafney #LectioCast

February 13, 2017 07:07 - 37 minutes - 21.3 MB

It’s a great week to get fired! So preach Leviticus 19 and tell people what it actually says.  Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18 We all know the command, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But what does that love look like? And how might that love manifest itself in subversion of the expectations of market capitalism? Psalm 119:33-40… Read more about What Neighbor Love Looks Like with Rev. Dr. Wil Gafney #LectioCast

February 07, 2017 04:37 - 32 minutes - 18.4 MB

How does a Christian walk in the ways of God, loving God with heart, soul, mind, and strength? Do we do this by obeying the Law? Or by following Jesus? Or both? Deuteronomy 30:15-20 How is the Abrahamic covenant realized? How is the land possessed and the seed multiplied? Faithfulness to the commandments. This is… Read more about To Law or Not To Law, that is the Question #LectioCast

People of the Light #LectioCast

January 30, 2017 09:08 - 31 minutes - 18 MB

We are the light of the world. And the very things we do in service to God can be the darkness that obscures the light just as easily as the light that dispels the gloom. Isaiah 58:1-12 Don’t be hoodwinked by acts of piety that don’t bring life to your neighbor. Psalm 112:1-9 Celebrating people… Read more about People of the Light #LectioCast

The God of the Upside Down Kingdom #LectioCast

January 23, 2017 18:28 - 27 minutes - 15.9 MB

If you want to know what people expect of God, listen to what they think blessing looks like. Epiphany continues to challenge us to look for and recognize God in the places we spurn and despise—even though these are usually our own places. Matthew 5:1-12 Do we really aspire to the Kingdom depicted in the… Read more about The God of the Upside Down Kingdom #LectioCast

“The Second Grade Problem,” with Doug Pagitt #LectioCast

January 23, 2017 18:25 - 45 minutes - 26 MB

Doug Pagitt breaks it down: the problem is Second Grade. Just wait. Isaiah 9:1-4 Overcoming gloom: a beautiful picture of hope. But the reality is… Second Grade. Am I right? Psalm 27:1, 4-9 There’s a rhythm of salvation and distress. And maybe a bit of uncertainty about whether that rhythm will recur. Then there’s the… Read more about “The Second Grade Problem,” with Doug Pagitt #LectioCast

1st Sunday After Epiphany with Doug Pagitt #LectioCast

January 09, 2017 18:17 - 48 minutes - 27.9 MB

Will we be able to recognize God when God appears? We tend to look “up,” but perhaps we need to look down. Isaiah 49:1-7 The work of the servant is playing out in plain sight: but God’s people aren’t seeing it, and God doesn’t seem to be honoring it. Will we know the work of… Read more about 1st Sunday After Epiphany with Doug Pagitt #LectioCast

The Baptism of Our Lord: A Man Anointed by God #LectioCast

January 02, 2017 20:07 - 33 minutes - 19.4 MB

The baptism of Jesus is one of the most perplexing, challenging passages in the Gospels. We can shine a little light on it, but only if we’re willing to distinguish Jesus from God, recognizing God as the empowering agent who also marks with the Spirit as God’s beloved children. Isaiah 42:1-9 The servant in whom… Read more about The Baptism of Our Lord: A Man Anointed by God #LectioCast

December 19, 2016 06:01 - 37 minutes - 21.3 MB

For God to be savior, God has to be at work. Together we delve into the work that God must do if God is to be honored and celebrated as savior.

An annual reminder that God has chosen to be in relationship with us before we could do anything in response.

December 17, 2016 06:14 - 40 minutes - 23.1 MB

Isaiah 9:2-7 The birth of Jesus echoes the birth of an earlier king, a previous “mighty God, everlasting father.” Let that mess with your Christology!  Psalm 96  God’s plan of salvation is SO MUCH BIGGER than human salvation. The whole creation is wrapped up in God’s saving work. Do we live in such a way… Read more about Christmas Proper 1: Christmas For All From Below, with Danielle Shroyer #LectioCast

In this special episode I get to ask three world-class theologians five questions about preaching and teaching the Bible. Here they are. And they are four in number: 1. Can we say Jesus is Lord in a post-patriarchal context? 2. How do you know when to stay with a church or denomination? How do you… Read more about Special Bonus Episode: Cynthia Rigsby, Monica A.

December 05, 2016 18:54 - 34 minutes - 19.8 MB

What time is it? Where are we in the unfolding narrative of God’s story of promise and deliverance? Isaiah and Jesus each show us what the time of arrival looks like.

November 29, 2016 23:39 - 39 minutes - 22.4 MB

Our calling is to live out the Advent story. We are supposed to be the people who put on full display for the world the acceptance with which God has embraced us.

The promise of new creation bursts through with images of wholeness, shalom, restoration, and God’s relentless passion for God’s beloved people.
