Episode 460: Sermon February 1, 2026, part 1

Sermon audio at Christus Victor Lutheran Church in Apple Valley, MN for the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany, Revised Common Lectionary Year A. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, Matthew 5:1-12. My friend and former professor Mary Solberg's book, "A Church Undone," helps us to remain wary of allowing ideology to replace our faith in the Jesus of the Bible with faith in power and violence. This is only the first part, with an additional few minutes of conclusion to be added as a later episode because this website is being dumb and I'm in a hurry.
