Podcasts about Publican

Sermon preached by Dr. B.J. Hutto at Hendricks Avenue Baptist Church on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

The parable of the pharisee and the tax collector (or publican) is again a parable about prayer but also a parable about the sin of pride and the virtue of humility. Pride leads to be being happy about oneself and the humility leads to being at rights with God. The latter is what we should be striving towards.The image used in this podcast is "The Pharisee and the Publican" by James Tissot painted somewhere between 1886 and 1894. It is the collection of the Brooklyn Museum, New York.

The Pharisee and the Publican

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Eugenio Garibay analizan la nueva escalada comercial entre Estados Unidos y China, tras las recientes represalias chinas con tarifas portuarias y sanciones a empresas vinculadas a EE. UU.. Conversan sobre cómo estas medidas han reactivado la volatilidad en los mercados, el impacto en sectores estratégicos como la logística y las materias primas, y el papel que está jugando el comercio agrícola, especialmente la soya en esta disputa.Más adelante, el episodio se centra en los reportes de la gran banca estadounidense, con los resultados de JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo y BlackRock. Los conductores explican qué impulsó sus cifras, los comentarios de sus directivos y qué nos dicen estos resultados sobre la salud del consumidor, la rentabilidad del sector financiero y el pulso general de la economía.Un episodio clave para entender cómo la tensión geopolítica y los resultados corporativos están marcando el tono de los mercados esta semana.

This week, we're riding into the dog days of ice-cream summer in conversation with Dana Cree — award-winning pastry chef, molecular enthusiast, and the creative force behind Pretty Cool Ice Cream. Serving up about 11,000 frozen delights weekly, Dana crafts everything from ice-cream bars and sandwiches to vegan pops and tricked-out popsicles, all from her flagship shop. With stints at spots like Alinea, Noma, Blackbird, and The Publican — plus James Beard nominations and a Jean Banchet Award — her deep roots as a pastry chef inform her at every step. Inspired by Jeni Britton's trailblazing spirit, Dana shares what propelled her into the world of ice-cream, what she learned in elite kitchens, the lessons behind the NYT recipe controversy (and the power of three key differentiators), and so much more.

Sermon by Tom Buiter on July 13, 2025 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC. Scripture Passage: Luke 18:9-14 Outline -The Pharisee -The Publican -The Pronouncement ncchurch.net

Jesus meets Matthew at the tax collector's booth and invites him to follow. Jesus then eats at Matthew's house along with his disciples, publicans, and sinners. We are called to live at peace with and love our enemies while reaching the lost with the Gospel.

Our guest on this week's episode is Ram Ben Tzion, the founder and CEO of Publican. Today marks the end of the De Minimus tax exemption for many imported goods. If you are not familiar with that exemption, it was designed to reduce the import paper work and tax duty collecting for low-value goods. But as a result, there were claims of abuse, unfair competition, and that the exemption allowed drug traffickers to easily import illegal drugs. So, starting today, there are new rules. Our guest shares the details and how supply chains will be affected. This week, the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) released a report  showing that freight brokers nationwide are facing some pretty staggering losses due to cargo theft and what they say are “increasingly complex fraud schemes.” We examine the most common scheme and what can be done to reduce fraud and cargo theft.This week the administration ordered that all truck drivers be proficient in understanding the English language in order to drive a truck in the United States. The new order rescinds the previous guidance issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which back in 2016 had relaxed the enforcement of existing English proficiency standards. Drivers found not to be in compliance will automatically declared "out of service." Exactly how it will be enforced and what the specifics are remain to be seen.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

What financial lessons can we learn from a tax collector who climbed a tree? Stay tuned and find out.Of course, you know I'm talking about Zacchaeus in Luke 19. That story is filled with important teachings about money, stewardship, and generosity. Dr. Kelly Rush joins us today with some interesting observations about the life of Zacchaeus.Dr. Kelly Rush is a Professor of Finance, Department Chair, and Financial Planning Program Coordinator at Mount Vernon Nazarene University in Ohio. The Cultural and Financial Context of ZacchaeusIn first-century Israel, political, social, and religious divides were as prevalent as they are today. Labels like Pharisee, Sadducee, and zealot carried heavy connotations, just as terms like Democrat or Republican do in our culture. Among the most despised figures in Jewish society were the tax collectors, or publicans, who collected tribute for the oppressive Roman Empire.A publican acted as a financial middleman, collecting various taxes such as road tolls, harbor dues, and purchase levies. Chief publicans, like Zacchaeus, oversaw entire regions and often amassed great wealth by overcharging and exploiting their fellow Jews. Essentially, publicans were seen as greedy traitors who profited from an unjust economic system—what we would call white-collar criminals today.Zacchaeus' position as chief publican meant he was not just a participant but a leader in this corrupt system. However, his story took a radical turn when he encountered Jesus.A Life-Changing Encounter with JesusIn Luke 19, Jesus is passing through Jericho, heading to Jerusalem for Passover. Despite being days away from His crucifixion, Jesus takes the time to walk through the town, looking for Zacchaeus.Zacchaeus, unable to see over the crowd because of his short stature, humbles himself by climbing a sycamore tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus. In a moment of divine grace, Jesus stops, looks up, and calls Zacchaeus by name, inviting Himself to his house. This moment showcases a beautiful truth: while Zacchaeus was seeking Jesus, Jesus was already seeking him.The turning point in Zacchaeus' story comes when he joyfully receives Jesus and declares his willingness to make restitution:He pledges to give half of his possessions to the poor. He commits to repaying anyone he has cheated four times the amount—going far beyond the Old Testament requirement of returning stolen goods plus 20% (Leviticus 6).This response highlights a powerful principle: true financial transformation begins with a changed heart. Zacchaeus' generosity wasn't an attempt to earn salvation, but a response to the salvation he had already received.Lessons from Zacchaeus' Financial TestimonyJesus Seeks the Lost, No Matter Their Financial PastZacchaeus' reputation was well known, yet Jesus didn't shy away from him. Instead of condemnation, Jesus offered restoration. No financial mistake is too great for God to redeem. Repentance Leads to ActionZacchaeus' turnaround was immediate and public. He didn't just feel remorse; he acted decisively to make things right. This challenges us to evaluate our own finances and take bold steps toward integrity and generosity. Money Reflects the HeartHow we handle our finances reflects what's happening inside of us. Zacchaeus' newfound generosity was evidence of his transformed heart. Salvation Precedes StewardshipJesus declared, "Today salvation has come to this house" (Luke 19:9), showing that salvation is a free gift, not a reward for financial generosity. Stewardship is simply our response to God's grace.Many people struggle with shame over their financial decisions, preferring to keep them hidden from God and others. Zacchaeus, however, openly acknowledged his financial failures and took steps to correct them. His story reminds us that God's grace covers our past, and He calls us into a new future of faithful stewardship.Zacchaeus' story ends with a bold proclamation: "Look, Lord, here and now I give!" His financial testimony stands as a powerful example of what happens when we allow Jesus to transform not just our hearts, but our wallets as well.Let Zacchaeus' example inspire you to take an honest look at your finances, surrender them to God, and trust Him to guide you in stewardship that honors Him.Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationYou can read Dr. Kelly Rush's full article on Zacchaeus in our new quarterly publication, Faithful Steward.
