The Second Thing Jesus Did
U-turns Permitted
10/31/22 • 25 min
Last week we looked at the first thing God did when He showed up in the person of Jesus. This week we look at the second thing God in Jesus did: he took a whip to the Gentile Court of the temple and cleared it out. Quite a different thing!
Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world
U-turns Permitted
10/17/22 • 32 min
"Behold the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." These are the first words spoken about God as He appeared on earth in the person of Jesus. There's more in these words than you might think.....
God Becomes Human
U-turns Permitted
10/10/22 • 26 min
Today we read two sections from John 1:1-18. This is some of the deepest theological material ever written. Two things are made crystal clear by John: Jesus is God, and Jesus became human. In Jesus we see life, light, glory, grace and truth.
First Advent: Hope
U-turns Permitted
11/28/22 • 35 min
On this first Sunday of Advent we explore the theme of "Hope", from Isaiah 40, written while Israel was in exile, captivity and despair in Babylon.
Respect Yourself
U-turns Permitted
09/12/22 • 34 min
Today we listen to two versions of the song "Respect Yourself", the first by the Staple Singers, the second by Melissa Etheridge, many years later. Both songs arise from a context of the "stranger" who cries out to be seen and heard. Which is, of course, exactly what Jesus was about.
Down By the Riverside
U-turns Permitted
09/01/22 • 25 min
Today we listen to "Down by the Riverside" by Muddy Magnolias. The theme of "down by the riverside" is a popular one in spirituals and folk music. In these songs the riverside is a place of reflection, refreshment and renewal. We look at Psalm 137:1-6 to see how the Israelites handled despair down by the riverside.
Wayward Sons
U-turns Permitted
08/24/22 • 32 min
Today we listen to "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas from 1976. Then we read the story of the Prodigal Son, as it is known. Actually, there are two wayward sons in the story. But there's more to the story: how is this story more than the call to the individual to know that he/she is "beloved" of God? And what is the claim laid upon us by this story?
Lamentations and the Church
U-turns Permitted
12/20/21 • 27 min
Today we conclude our Advent series on Lamentations. How do we Lament without turning in on ourselves and becoming hopelessly and helplessly self-centered, sinking into a pit of despair? Lamentations shows us how to turn lament into a work of justice and resisting of evil. And leads us to Jesus, Word become flesh, who dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.
There is No One to Comfort Her
U-turns Permitted
11/29/21 • 26 min
This is the first Sunday of Advent, 2021. We are looking at the book of Lamentations as we awaiting the coming of the Christ-child. Today is the introduction and a look at Chapter 1, which focuses on Jerusalem's lack of someone to comfort her in her distress.
Jesus’ First Action
U-turns Permitted
10/24/22 • 25 min
Last week we heard the first words spoken about God as He appeared in Jesus. Today we look at the first thing God, in Jesus, did as recorded in John. He provided 180 gallons of the best wine at a wedding! We're going to connect that with the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes and learn about humility and receiving God's gifts.
