Lec Lab Live: The Second Sunday after the Epiphany, Year A

For the Second Sunday after the Epiphany, John the Baptizer (JTB, as we like to call him) is making a "transfer of power" to Jesus. Hence, our outroduction will be Agnus Dei, presented by the Choir of New College, Oxford, in a setting by Samuel Barber -- his Opus 11.

The Baptism of the Lord

What we have here is a disputed title for the day -- albeit, a gentle one! It is either The Baptism of THE Lord or The Baptism of OUR Lord, depending upon your liturgical flavor. Either way, Bubba and Bubba are back with more homiletical and theological gerrymandering for your listening pleasure! Special musical guests are Silent Partner and Karla Bonoff.

Bonus Episode for the First Sunday after Christmas

Today, it's the Delmer Show (sort of) -- as Bubba #1 bravely carries on with the texts for the Twenty-sixth Sunday after Pentecost. John is down and out with a case of laryngitis, so you won't hear from him. But, it's all good as Delmer gives a few ideas on preaching the "Little Apocalypse" in Luke and its attendant passages. Special musical guests are Tennessee Ernie Ford and Andrae Crouch, with Soon and Very Soon.
