Sermon Brainwave 1049: Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost - November 2, 2025
Join Profs. Rolf Jacobson, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner as they explore the powerful story of Zacchaeus and discuss the Revised Common Lectionary texts for the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost.
In this episode, the hosts dive deep into Luke 19:1-10, wrestling with a critical translation question in verse 8: Is Zacchaeus announcing a conversion, or revealing his existing practices? This interpretive choice completely changes how we understand the story. They explore themes of salvation, seeking the lost, and Jesus's consistent ministry of seeing those others overlook.
