Join Profs. Rolf Jacobson, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner as they explore the powerful story of Zacchaeus and discuss the Revised Common Lectionary texts for the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost. In this episode, the hosts dive deep into Luke 19:1-10, wrestling with a critical translation question in verse 8: Is Zacchaeus announcing a conversion, or revealing his existing practices? This interpretive choice completely changes how we understand the story. They explore themes of salvation, seeking the lost, and Jesus's consistent ministry of seeing those others overlook. The conversation also covers: * Isaiah 1:10-18 and prophetic sarcasm about religious hypocrisy * Habakkuk's lament about justice and faithful waiting * Psalm 32 as a penitential prayer often overlooked * 2 Thessalonians and prayers in times of affliction The hosts challenge assumptions about wealth, righteousness, and who belongs in God's kingdom, offering fresh perspectives for preachers preparing for this crucial moment in Luke's gospel as Jesus approaches Jerusalem. * * * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions! Reminder: We have commentaries for the Revised Common Lectionary, the Narrative Lectionary, and Evangelio (Spanish-language Gospel). We're here for you, working preachers!

2-Thessalonians 1-2
Prayer request – Paul asks the believers to pray that God's message will spread quickly and that he and his team will be protected from wicked people.God's faithfulness – He reminds them that the Lord is faithful, will strengthen them, and guard them from the evil one.Warning against idleness – Paul commands the church to keep away from those who live in laziness and refuse to work, reminding them of his own example of hard work while among them.Work ethic – He stresses: “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.” Believers are urged to work quietly and earn their own living.Dealing with the disobedient – Anyone who ignores Paul's instructions should be warned, but not treated as an enemy—rather, as a brother who needs correction.Closing blessing – Paul ends with a prayer for peace, a personal note written in his own hand as a mark of authenticity, and a blessing of grace.Key Theme:Paul calls for prayer, warns against idleness, and urges believers to work diligently, live responsibly, and hold fast to God's peace and grace.

Join host Jeff Shepherd on Right On Radio for a Sunday deep dive into 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. After opening prayer and a musical intro from DJ Misty B (aka Misty River), Jeff reads and walks listeners through Paul's warning about end-time deception, the coming “day of the Lord,” and the apostasy that must come first. This episode covers a wide range of topics: the rapture and timeline debates (pre-trib vs. other views), the identity and timing of the man of lawlessness, what — or who — restrains evil now, and how false signs and wonders will play into the great deception. Jeff critiques the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement, explains why modern manipulative worship and prophetic techniques are dangerous, and contrasts false manifestations with authentic work of the Holy Spirit. Key points emphasized: don't be quickly shaken by spirits, messages, or letters; hold fast to Scripture and the gospel; be discerning in the face of modern prophetic claims; plan practically for trials rather than assuming instant escape; and keep trusting in God's provision and comfort. Jeff argues the restrainer is tied to Jesus/the Word of God rather than an absence of the Holy Spirit, and he explains how the Lord will ultimately defeat the lawless one. Guests and voices on the episode include DJ Misty B (Misty River), Sister Wendy, prayer leaders Laura and Kimberly, and several Right On Radio community members who joined the live prayer call. The show also features a powerful testimony: a first-time prayer caller received an instantaneous miracle after anointed prayer, illustrating the difference between counterfeit signs and genuine Holy Spirit activity. Practical takeaways and community notes: be a Berean—test everything by Scripture, guard your personal walk and prayer life, and do not let social media, angry emails, or manipulative messages derail your faith. The host encourages listeners to stay active in prayer, expect God to move, and prepare spiritually and practically for difficult days. Announcements: Jeff shares scheduling news (a short sabbatical, possible Podbean live updates from a camping trip) and invites listeners to support Right On Radio via the Linktree links in the episode description. Closing encouragements: be loved, be blessed, stand firm, and continue to pray for the ministry and for Jeff as he steps away briefly. Thank you for Listening to Right on Radio.

God is faithful to work through His word and establish his church.
God is faithful to work through His word and establish his church.
Wouldn't it be nice to find a church with no problems, and no problem people? Of course we know they don't exist . And so it becomes necessary to learn how to deal with it. Today we're introduced to a problem within the church of Thessalonica. Apparently there were some in their midst that were taking advantage of the church. They were refusing to work.

Are you quick to ask people to pray for you, or do you shy away from that? Today on Light on the Hill, we'll see why we desperately need prayer. Paul realized, as should we, that he needed prayer to be effective and faithful in the ministry. We're to depend on God and our prayer lives are to reflect that. Pastor James Kaddis enters Second Thessalonians three today, and we'll emphasize the first few verses, where the apostle Paul requests prayer for himself.
