Year C, Proper 28, Twenty-third Sunday After PentecostHere is a link to the Crowder song.

Join us for Episode 4208 with Rev. Dr. Kenyatta Gilbert, Professor of Homiletics at Howard University School of Divinity. In “The Day is Coming,” he opens Luke 21:5–19 and Malachi 4, naming the tensions of our moment—holy terror and holy grace—and calling listeners to courageous witness without becoming what we oppose. Rooted in the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 28, Year C), this message invites endurance, hope, and clear-eyed faith amid upheaval.

Year C, Proper 28, Twenty-third Sunday After Pentecost

Recorded on election day, November 4th, politics was in the air. In Virginia, the gubernatorial election dominated advertisements. In Pennsylvania, the option to retain state Supreme Court justices was on the ballot. All of this was happening during a government shutdown that was affecting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). And the author of 2 Thessalonians - who may or may not be Paul - writes, "anyone unwilling to work should not eat" (3:10). To say there is a lot to talk about is an understatement! Jonahtn and Seth discuss this verse, which they've heard in the news lately, but also talk about the wider role of tradition when Christianity seems muddled. We're glad you're with us! Votes are counted, but this episode is still relevant. We'd love to hear how you've heard the phrase, "anyone unwilling to work should not eat." Feel free to email us.

Resurrection life starts today! Reflecting on Luke 20:27-38 with Manningham Uniting Church, 9 November 2025 (Proper 27 Year C).

Temple of GodWhen we think of temples, we often think of our parish church, St Peters, or the Lateran Basilica of the Popes church. In fact, our body is also a temple of God. How do we reserve and keep this space sacred for God? Come join us to discuss. https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/110925.cfm

Join Rolf Jacobson, Caroline Lewis, and Matt Skinner for Sermon Brainwave as they explore the texts for Christ the King/Reign of Christ Sunday (November 23, 2025) - the final Sunday of the church year and Year C. In this episode, the hosts dive deep into what it means for Jesus to be called "king" and how we understand Christ's reign in a world unfamiliar with monarchies. They examine the Gospel reading from Luke 23:33-43, where Jesus is crucified alongside two criminals, asking: What kind of king is this? A crucified king who sees those we overlook and extends mercy to the marginalized. The conversation also explores Jeremiah 23:1-6 and its promise of a righteous shepherd-king who will execute justice, Luke 1:68-79 (Zechariah's Benedictus) and how it bookends the liturgical year, and Colossians 1:11-20's cosmic vision of Christ's reign. Key themes include: * Unpacking the language of "king," "lord," and "reign" for contemporary contexts * The contrast between earthly kingdoms and the kingdom of God * How Christ's reign is realized person by person through tender mercy * The significance of Jesus riding a donkey as a symbol of peace, not war * God's faithfulness in keeping promises to God's people This episode invites preachers and listeners to reimagine citizenship in Christ's kingdom and what it means to live under a reign marked by justice, righteousness, and mercy. Commentaries for the Christ the King Sunday can be found on the Working Preacher website at https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/christ-the-king-3/commentary-on-luke-2333-43-6. ⏰Timecodes⏰ 00:00 Introduction to Christ the King Sunday 03:01 Understanding Christ as King 05:54 The Significance of the Crucifixion 09:03 Theological Reflections on the Cross 12:02 Exploring the Nature of Jesus' Kingship 14:56 Jeremiah's Prophetic Vision of Kingship 18:04 The Role of Mercy in Christ's Reign 20:52 The Cosmic Christ in Colossians 24:08 Conclusion and Reflections on Preaching *  *  * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

What does a theology look like that has "good bones?" What does a theology rooted in care and concern for people look like? What are its hallmarks? How is it lived? In this week's lectionary text, the Sadducees ask questions about the resurrection. Jesus, however, speaks about resurrection as a way of life so that their question about multiple husbands is moot. Jonathan and Seth discuss this idea of a resurrection faith that takes seriously questions about heaven, but then tries to bring that ideal down to earth. They attempt to find the "good bones" in the Sadducees quiz. We're glad you're with us! Be on the lookout for a backlog of episodes that are going to post this week. We understand life's busy, and you might not have time to listen to them all, but we wanted to make them available. And they'll be here for years, so you can always listen next time Year C rolls around!

Join Karoline Lewis, Rolf Jacobson, and Matt Skinner for Sermon Brainwave as they explore the texts for All Saints Sunday (Year C). In this episode, the hosts dive deep into Luke 6:20-31 (the Beatitudes and Woes), Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18, Psalm 149, and Ephesians 1:11-23. The conversation examines Luke's unique "Sermon on the Plain" where Jesus comes down to be with the people, addressing them directly with "blessed are you" (all y'all) rather than Matthew's third-person "blessed are those." The hosts discuss the challenging juxtaposition of blessings and woes, exploring how these words hit differently depending on whether you're in a position of privilege or disadvantage. Key themes include: * Jesus' solidarity with those who grieve ("He came down with them and stood on a level place") * The interconnectedness of our liberation and wholeness * God's mercy as the foundation for Jesus' vision of the Kingdom * The role of saints as models of faith (not just a necrology) * Daniel's theological shift: persecution as a badge of faithfulness * Christ as "all in all" in Ephesians The hosts bring humor, scholarly insight, and practical preaching wisdom as they wrestle with these complex texts, offering preachers fresh perspectives for All Saints Sunday.
