Saint Lukes Episcopal Church The Rev. Richmond R. Webster

We call Jeremiah the "weeping prophet," in part because his heart was broken, and in part because he was beaten up for speaking the truth! In this podcast we will enter the prophet's world and see plenty to cry over...

Genesis 15-20 is the saga of a family who is called to be different in the way God asks us all to be different, making this the story of us. No one comes close to Jacob in detail and in adventures, and much of it is not pretty. His name means "trickster," and this podcast will explore why God chose a scheming second born to carry on the Promise.

Paul's church in Corinth has been described as the "original problem parish." In this episode we will explore how they got it wrong, the challenges of being different, and what we can learn from reading someone's mail.

This podcast will look at the Hebrew prophets in general, and Amos in particular, as the first to write it all down. We will also explore what it means to be a people of "Justice."

This semester we are going for the basics with a series called "Bible Basics." Many people want to read the Bible but don't know where to start or what it even means. In this first episode, we will look at Paul's letter to the Philippians, the meaning of the term, "Gospel," and how to show love in a tough neighborhood. 

Discussion question: How can showing love just be plain hard?

While it's true that the Temple was the wonder of the ancient world, someone still had to pay for it. This podcast will explore the concept of the "Temple Tax" additional offerings, and the role of money from a "God's eye" view.
