333: Proper 11C (7/21/2019)

NOTES AND COMMENTARY Amos 8:1-12 Luke 10:38-42 Psalm 52 Colossians 1:15-28 VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS: Renee Roederer Facebook @renee_roederer Smuggling Grace Blog: https://reneeroederer.com/ PSALMIST IN THE FIELD Twitter:@pomopsalmist Web:psalmimmersion.com Support: Patreon.com/RichardBC SUMMARY The reading from Luke is the story of Mary and Martha, as Mary sits at the feet of the teachers and Martha tries to provide hospitality. Both are important aspects of discipleship (remember the Good Samaritan from last week?), so don't try to pit Mary and Martha against each other. Jesus condemns neither, but exalts Mary for infiltrating a man's world. The letter to the Colossians contains a word of peace and grace to an anxious people. It is not about condemning the Colossians for their apostasy, but encouraging them in their anxiety.

NOTES AND COMMENTARY 2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14 Luke 9:51-62 Galatians 5:1, 13-25 Psalm 77:1-2, 11-20 Voice in the Wilderness: Casey Wait Faith and Wonder Story Divine @caseyfitzgerald Psalmist: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan Psalmimmersion.com @pomopsalmist Patreon SUMMARY In this episode Casey Wait shares a reflection Elijah's ride into heaven. In the Gospel reading, Jesus "determines to go to Jerusalem," the disciples ask to call down some "Shock and Awe" on cities who do not welcome them. How do we respond when the Good News is rejected? How should we respond? What is the balance between faithful prophetic witness and angry retaliation? Then Jesus gives warnings to a few who want to follow. The Galatians reading examines the relationship between freedom in Christ and obligations toward others. Just last week we were declaring "There is no slave or free." And now we are declaring that we are in fact "slaves to one another." Which is it Paul? We are all free to love, but love is bondage.

329: Proper 7C (6/23/2019)

NOTES AND COMMENTARY 1 Kings 19:1-15 Luke 8:26-39 Psalm 42 Galatians 3:23-29 PSALMIST IN THE FIELD: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan SUMMARY: We're back into ordinary time so we get to go back to the Gospel of Luke, and we start with a nice simple story about Jesus exorcising demons, sending them into pigs, who then run off a cliff. There is a reason this episode went over an hour. After the Luke text we move into one of the most beloved passages of Paul's body of work, as he declares that "There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Check out the show notes for some work on 1 Kings, and Richard BC has a commentary on Psalm 42.

328: Trinity C (6/16/2019)

NOTES AND COMMENTARY Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31 John 16:12-15 Psalm 8 Romans 5:1-5 VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS: Mason Parks Pastor, New Journey AME PSALMIST IN THE FIELD: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan Psalmimmersion.com @pomopsalmist Patreon SUMMARY It's Trinity Sunday. In the John text, Jesus promises the coming of the Spirit of Truth. We discuss the concept of the Paraklete, is it advocate or companion? Both descriptions are important, but incomplete. Romans 5 is an important passage in the history of the Church, and gives us a chance to examine the idea of boasting in suffering, and the source of our hope. Mason Parks shares a great word about wisdom, and Richard BC covers Psalm 8.

327: Pentecost, Year C (6/9/2019)

NOTES AND COMMENTARY John 14:8-17 (25-27) with Melissa Myers Acts 2:1-21 Pentecost Romans 8:14-17 Spirit of adoption Psalm 104:24-35 with Richard Bruxvoort Colligan VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS: Melissa Myers @PastorMelissa @PastorBesties PSALMIST IN THE FIELD: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan Richard Bruxvoort Colligan psalmimmersion.com @pomopsalmist SUMMARY It's Pentecost, so you know we're going to talk about the Spirit blowing in. We focus a lot of this discussion on the Joel text, and discuss what the "end of days" might mean. In the Romans passage, Paul writes of the Spirit of Adoption, which can be a powerful metaphor for Christian community. Plus Melissa Myers has a great word on John 14 and Richard shares about Psalm 104.

On the eve of Pentecost, we share part of Jesus' prayer from the eve of his crucifixion. His prayer for unity is important to remember, but at what cost? What kind of unity is Jesus praying for? The text from Acts is long, but an interesting story of liberation and captivity. Paul and Silas are arrested for upsetting the cultural and economic status quo. But what about the status quo for the slave girl? How is the jailer liberated? Plus, Nicole Cox has a sorrowful comment on the end of Revelation and Richard BC brings is creativity to Psalm 97/

This is the simple foundation of following Christ, but living it out can be so difficult. In Acts, Peter retells his vision of a new understanding of what it means to be clean and holy. "Could I stand in God's way?" he asks. Plus, Bryan Odeen shares about the New heaven as found in Revelation 21:1-6, and Richard has a segment on Psalm 148.

What is the relationship between teaching and belief? Signs and works? Why are some Jesus' sheep and others seem to resist? In Acts Peter raises Tabitha, and we wonder what it means to "proclaim someone is alive." There are some powerful connections to Mothers' Day in this text as well. Plus Jeff Nelson has a word on Revelation and Richard BC shares about one of the most famous poems ever written.

NOTES AND COMMENTARY John 21:1-19 Revelation 5:11-14 Acts 9:1-6 Psalm 30 VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS: Cheryl Kerr PSALMIST IN THE FIELD: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan www.psalmimmersion.com/ SUMMARY: John 21:1-19 is the 'appendix' of the gospel, as seven disciples go fishing. Once again, they do not recognize him, but when the net overflows the realize it is the Risen Christ in their presence. What's up with 153 fish? Why did Jesus ask Peter that question three times? Many people call the Acts text "Paul's conversion," but is that really the case? First of all, Paul never believes that he stops being Jewish. Secondly, his transformation hasn't happened yet. Plus we have a great piece by Cheryl Kerr on Revelation 5 and Richard BC shares a nugget on Psalm 30.

321: Easter 2C (4/28/2019)

NOTES AND COMMENTARY John 20:19-31 Revelation 1:4-8 with Susan Presley and Max Hazell Acts 5:27-32 SUMMARY: It's the second Sunday of Easter, so of course we have some Doubting Thomas. But of course we must ask, "who exactly is he doubting?" Thomas doubted the other 10, not Jesus. Our Acts discussion centers on Peter's speech about Christ Resurrected! It's not about passing blame, but declaring what is happening now. Plus Max and Susan bring their creative best to an introduction to our introduction to Revelation.

There is a line at the end of this passage that some feel gives us a reason to not be in ministry with the poor. To be blunt, these people are wrong. We also discuss Paul's passage about sanctifying grace. Plus Nelson Pierce has a prophetic word on Isaiah, and Richard brings us another beautiful commentary on the Psalms.

Then we move into one of the most beloved stories of the Bible, the prodigal son (or is it the prodigal father?). 2 Corinthians is an important piece of our understanding of the mission of the church. We are reminded that we are in the ministry of reconciliation, and it is easy to see how others should reconcile. It is much harder when we are the ones needing reconciliation. Finally, Richard shares part four of this Lenten Psalm series on trust.

We then move into the Gospel of Luke, where Jesus seems to have a very harsh parable about sinfulness and the fig tree, but also counters the notion that all suffering is because God is punishing sin. The letter to the Corinthians takes this discussion of sin and suffering a little further. Richard Bruxvoort Colligan continues his Lenten Psalms series on Trust.
