Join Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson on Sermon Brainwave as they explore the readings for the 11th Sunday after Pentecost (August 24, 2025). This episode dives deep into Luke 13:10-17, the powerful story of Jesus healing a woman with a crooked back on the Sabbath - a healing that's really about liberation and freedom. The hosts unpack the unique aspects of this healing story, including why the woman is called a "daughter of Abraham" (the only time this phrase appears in Luke), what it means that she's "set free" rather than simply "healed," and how this story challenges our assumptions about bodies, health, and spiritual freedom. They also explore the Sabbath debate and how Jesus operates firmly within Jewish tradition while expanding our understanding of what the Sabbath is truly for. Additional readings discussed include Isaiah 58:9b-14 (or Jeremiah 1:4-10 for semi-continuous readings), Psalm 103:1-8, and Hebrews 12:18-29. The conversation touches on themes of liberation theology, biblical interpretation, prophetic calling, and the pastoral care embedded in challenging theological concepts.

Join Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Rolf Jacobson as they dive deep into the lectionary readings for the 10th Sunday after Pentecost (August 17, 2025). In this episode, they explore the challenging theme of division that Jesus brings, not as his goal, but as an inevitable result of following his way. Our hosts unpack Luke 12:49-56, where Jesus speaks of bringing fire rather than peace, and discuss how this passage connects to the realities of following Christ today. Whether you're a preacher preparing for Sunday or someone seeking a deeper understanding of these challenging texts, this conversation offers thoughtful biblical interpretation and practical wisdom for navigating the complexities of faith in community.

Join Rolf Jacobson, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner for another episode of Sermon to Brainwave as they dive deep into the lectionary texts for August 10th, 2025. In this episode, our hosts explore the rich connections between Genesis 15:1-6 (Abraham's covenant and the promise to count the stars), Isaiah 1:1, 10-20 (God's call for justice over empty worship), Psalm 33:12-22, Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16 (faith as a journey without a round trip), and Luke 12:32-40 (the little flock, treasure, and watchful servants). Whether preparing a sermon or simply wanting to go deeper into Scripture, this episode offers fresh insights and practical applications.

The Rich Fool, Ecclesiastes, and Finding True Wealth. Join Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson as they dive deep into the challenging texts for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost (August 3rd, 2025). This episode explores Luke's parable of the rich fool, examining what this wealthy man actually did wrong and why Jesus calls him "fool" rather than "sinner." The hosts tackle tough questions about wealth, possessions, and what it means to be "rich toward God." They discuss how the parable connects to our modern struggles with storage units, financial security, and the subtle ways greed can creep into our lives - even when we're just trying to be responsible. The conversation also explores the challenging pairing of this text with Ecclesiastes, examining the wisdom literature's perspective on vanity (Hebrew: hevel - like smoke or vapor) and the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits. Plus, they delve into the beautiful poetry of Hosea 11, where God's parental love and tender compassion shine through despite Israel's unfaithfulness.

Where does God live?

On Sunday, Tommy talks about how each day Jesus is calling us into a deeper and fuller place on our faith journey, where our complete trust, reliance, and dependence upon Him leads to our being one with our Loving God. Although following Jesus can be difficult, because of what it requires from us, He still waits patiently for us to continue journeying with Him; even when we turn willfully away.

Choose this day whom you will serve, so says Joshua to the people of Israel. Jesus in essence asks the disciples the same. Fr. David Trautman elaborates on our choices when it comes to following Jesus. If you like what you see, we hope you'll join us in person if you're in the area.

The Jesus who turned over the tables of the money-changers in the temple is the same Jesus who healed and hugged lepers. His anger propels us to challenge injustices in ways that orient all of us toward loving and serving others, especially those we see as hardest to love.

Discipline is the way we see God growing us into dependence on Himself. Fr. David Trautman shows us that we can taste and see that He is good as we come to lean on Him more and more for all we need.

Apparently not satisfied by Jesus' feeding of thousands, some who were there press him for a sign of his power; perhaps it is daily manna they want. As always in John's gospel when people want a sign, Jesus offers himself. He is the bread come from heaven to give life to the world. He calls us to come to him and believe in him, and through that relationship to know the one who sent him.Scripture Reading:Exodus 16:2-4, 9-15; Ephesians 4:1-16; John 6:24-35

We come with our grumbling hearts and rumbling tummies, looking for God's grace and His face. Fr. David Trautman shows how the Bread of Life can satisfy all we need.
