Episodes

  1. What Is Theology? 5 / 5

    Articles 9-15: Original Sin, Salvation, Justification, Sanctification, etc.

  2. The Whole Enchilada

    “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and unto God what is God’s” isn’t describing two equal kingdoms, one for Caesar and one for God, one for the government and one for the church. Caesars Authority is real, but it’s limited, temporary, and on loan from God. God’s authority has no limit, no end,...

  3. What Is Theology? 4

    The Scriptures

  4. Do not worry?

    If it’s a command, it’s like telling someone to relax...

  5. What Is Theology? 3

    Article 5: The Holy Spirit

  6. What Is Theology? 2

    Articles 2,3, and 4. The Son’s rescue mission goes all the way down to our pain — even our death, and brings our nature all the way to the very presence of God.

  7. What Is Theology? 1

    God is transcendent, and there’s no hidden God behind Jesus…

  8. You Envious?

    I know I am.

  9. Throw Away The Scale

    Jesus isn’t saying forgive 77, 490, or even infinite times, he’s saying put the pencil down…

  10. What They Cut Off

    Matthew 18 is Jesus’s fourth teaching block of the Gospel. What does that mean? That today’s text doesn’t stand alone. This doesn’t take away from it. It just makes it richer, because it’s part of a larger whole.

  11. What Does It Mean to Take Up Your Cross?

    My “Cross to bear” is neither my bum knee nor an invitation to be trampled upon.

  12. Jesus and the Canaanite Woman

    The Canaanites brought back in

  13. He Treads The Sea

    The walking on the water story is a theophany…

  14. Someone Always Pays

    There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

  15. Nothing Is Lost

    Charli XCX’s new album ends with David Cronenberg saying, over and over, that no one lasts forever. I appreciate the honesty. A critic called it a litany for an afterlife-free church. Romans 8 is the response. Not a Hallmark card, not death-denial, but the promise that God makes a way out of no...

  16. The Wheat and the Weeds

    We cannot tell wheat from weeds — not in the world, not in the church, not even in ourselves. The line runs through every heart. The servants’ zeal to purify is the most natural instinct in the world, and it’s the one thing forbidden…

  17. The Good Sower

    Today’s Gospel invites reflection, but it’s about more than that. The same Sower who seems reckless with the seed is the good farmer who keeps scattering and tilling until the soil is ready. Join us every Sunday at St. John’s Park Slope at 10 AM. 💒

  18. Gotta Serve Somebody

    Like Bob Dylan, I love America (Go US Soccer 🇺🇸), but “My first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man. My first allegiance is not to democracy or blood. But to a king and a kingdom.”

  19. The Best Kind of Splitting Hairs

    Indicative and imperatives; commands wrapped up in promises

  20. Balm and Purpose

    Grace and vision, or love births love

  21. His Mercy > The Contagion

    “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

  22. God with us —> I am with you always

    The promise that bookends Matthew’s Gospel is for you

  23. Pentecost

    Christ’s peace proceeds repentance, and his Spirit empowers forgiveness…

  24. Do Not Let Your Heart Be Troubled

    Thomas wants a script, a map, a blueprint, who can blame him. I want one too. But Jesus offers a way. Christ offers himself…

  25. The Good Shepherd

    There are no sunk costs in God‘s economy…

  26. The Road to Emmaus

    Emmaus is about revelation…

  27. An Empowering Peace

    Jesus does not wait for fear to end before he begins making all things new…

  28. Easter Day

    The Resurrection vindicates the way of Jesus. It means that self-protection is not realism after all...

  29. Good Friday 2

    The crucified king…

  30. Good Friday

    John presents Jesus as one who knew what would happen—knew who would betray him, knew who would deny him, knew who would demand him crucified, and knew who would flail and fail to let him go. The cross wasn’t foist upon him. He knew all of this and went anyway. He went to be crowned. He went for...

  31. Maundy Thursday

    “Only the man who is loved can himself love.” R. Bultmann

  32. The Branch

    He meets you where you dropped yours…

  33. If You Had Been Here

    He calls into the darkness, death yields, and the cost is his life…

  34. Karma and Grace

    Not to undermine the consequence, but you are not what you do…

  35. This Is Real And You Are Completely Unprepared

    The life God gives doesn't evolve from what we already have. It comes from above.

  36. Is Life a Test?

    The one who would not turn stones to bread for himself will one day give himself as bread for the world…

  37. Ash Wednesday

    Mortality, repentance, and grace…

  38. A Life Undivided

    Salt and light are not aspirations. They are what happens when his life takes root in yours…

  39. Blessed First

    The life Jesus lives is the life he gives.

  40. The People Who Sat In Darkness…

    Why Zebulun and Naphtali?

  41. What Are You Looking For?

    The kingdom does not arrive as an idea to consider. It arrives as a presence that reorders the room…

  42. Into the Water

    Jesus moves toward the places we expect God to avoid…

  43. Walking On Water?

    Rev. Ben preached this sermon on Mark’s account of the walking on water story at the Noonday Eucharist at Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City, Long Island.

  44. After the Brightness Fades

    Christmas is the beginning of the making right of all that has gone wrong…

  45. It Was Never Plan B

    Christmas is not divine improvisation. It’s the unveiling of a God who was already drawing close.

  46. What Righteousness Looks Like

    God’s righteousness’s does not balance the scales. It breaks them.

  47. When God is Late

    The Messiah isn’t slow because he’s absent. He’s slow because he’s merciful…

  48. He’s Coming Again

    Advent’s first cry is not ‘Silent Night,’ but ‘Stay awake.’…
