Lectionary Lab Live

The Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C (February 24, 2019)

It has been an extraordinarily long season of Epiphany (thanks to the late Easter this year) but the Bubbas are hanging in there with you! The discussion today on rarely preached-on texts includes a great section from Luke's account of the Sermon on the Plain as well as Delmer's "tenuous" tie of the week for the 1 Corinthians passage. Guest musical artist is Matthew West performing Forgiveness. 

The Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C (February 17, 2019)

For the Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany, Delmer and John "come down" with Jesus to consider Christ's words to the apostles, disciples, and the crowd from his sermon on a plain. It's plain good stuff, as we also enjoy the songwriting skill of Woody Guthrie performing I Ain't Got No Home. 

The Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C (February 10, 2019)

For the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany, it's fishin' tales and stuff! Bubba and Bubba talk the texts and preaching whilst Trace Adkins performs Just Fishin'.

The Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C (February 3, 2019)

For the Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany, Delmer and John are considering the conclusion of a real cliff-hanger of an episode from the gospel. (Did you see what we did there? You may groan now.) Special musical guest is Diana Ross, performing the lilting tune Do You Know?

The Third Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C (January 27, 2019)

For the Third Sunday after the Epiphany, Bubba and Bubba are talking 'bout great poetry, great texts, and how to make preaching great again (just kidding on that last one!) Tune in for passionate discussion and some great music from Aretha Franklin (who performs the gospel classic, Mary, Don't You Weep). Also, listen at the end for an announcement about a Lectionary Lab Workshop coming up in March -- let us hear from you!

The Second Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C (January 20, 2019)

For the Second Sunday after the Epiphany, the boys are talking texts and sermon ideas inspired by the water turned into wine! Special musical guests are Southern Raised performing a gospel music classic, Beulah Land. 

The Baptism of Our Lord, Year C (January 13, 2019)

For this First Sunday after Epiphany, the Church celebrates the Baptism of Jesus -- known variously (according to your tradition) as The Lord or Our Lord. At any rate, there's water, and there are John and Jesus, and there's a BIG Voice. You'll love it! Special musical guest is one of our favorites here on the Lab, Johnny Cash, performing I Walk the Line.

The Epiphany of the Lord, Year C (January 6, 2019)

To kick off the new year and a new season, the Bubbas are talking Epiphany and the season of light. Special musical appearance is by the women of the Baptist World Alliance and a theme for an International Day of Prayer -- Arise, Shine.

The Fourth Sunday of Advent, Year C (December 23, 2018)

For the Fourth Sunday of Advent, the key thought is, "The One Who Comes." Bubba and Bubba wrap up the calendar year of 2018 with this show, which features a performance of O, Holy Night by Josh Groban.

Lectionary Lab Live will return in two weeks with a take on the texts for Epiphany -- January 6, 2019.

The Third Sunday in Advent, Year C (December 16, 2018)

For the Third Sunday in Advent, Delmer and John are getting their jollies from talking texts and preaching. John the Baptist simply will not be ignored, and there is great joy in all of the texts today. Special musical guests are the London Cello Orchestra and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge performing an updated version of the ancient chant, Gaudete Christus est natus (Rejoice! Christ is Born!)
