Lectionary Lab Live

Lec Lab Live #72 (for May 25, 2014)

It is now the Sixth Sunday of Easter; great texts for preaching today include Paul's sermon about "The Unknown God" from Acts, a word about Jesus' sermon to the "spirits in prison" in 1 Peter, and more from the farewell sermon Jesus gave in John 14. Our musical postlude is When You Pass Through the Water from Hillsong Church. 

Lec Lab Live #71 (for May 18, 2014)

It's the Fifth Sunday of Easter, and John and Delmer aren't exactly polemical -- let's say they're passionate about this gospel text! Special musical guest Simply Red performs If You Don't Know Me by Now.

Lec Lab Live #70 (for May 11, 2014)

The Fourth Sunday after Easter is also known as "Good Shepherd Sunday" in some traditions. The traditional texts are turned a bit on their heads in this discussion by the Two Bubbas. Gospel singer Keith Green closes the show with There Is a Redeemer. 

Lec Lab Live #69 (for May 4, 2014)

For the Third Sunday of Easter, John and Delmer discuss texts from Luke, Peter and the Psalms. Special musical guests are Alison Krauss and the choir of the First Baptist Church of White House, Tennessee in a reprise performance of Down in the River to Pray.

Lec Lab Live #68 (for April 27, 2014)

It's the Second Sunday of Easter and the Bubbas are back live! Texts this week include Peter's preaching and Thomas "doubting" -- only not so much. Special musical guest is Elvis Presley performing I Believe.

Lec Lab Live #67 (for April 20, 2014)

It is Easter Sunday -- The Resurrection of the Lord, and Christ is risen, he is risen indeed! The Bubbas take this opportunity on Holy Week to offer our first ever "encore performance" of a previously-recorded session. Guest preacher on this episode is The Rev. Julian Gordy, ELCA pastor and Bishop of the Southeastern Synod. 

We'll be back "alive" and on the air next week! May the blessing of the Risen Christ be yours this day and every day.

Lec Lab Live #66 (for April 13, 2014)

As we enter Holy Week on Palm/Passion Sunday, the Bubbas talk about preaching on this "unique" Sunday that brings Lent to a close. Considerations for preaching abound, and musical guest Brooke Fraser (with Hillsong United) sings Hosanna!

Apologies in advance for the audio quality in spots...we were in our mobile studio this week and suffered a bit of signal degradation at times. Hang in there and we think you'll get most of it!

Lec Lab Live #65 (for April 6, 2014)

On the Fifth Sunday in Lent, John's story about Lazarus dominates the readings. This is a Sunday about many things: faith, hope, trust, resurrection, commitment, and being made new. Listen in as John and Delmer discuss options for preaching, as the Mayor of Munchkinland makes a proclamation, and as Hillsong offers the faith-affirming song, When You Pass through the Waters (Do Not Fear.)

Lec Lab Live #64 (for March 30, 2014)

On the Fourth Sunday in Lent, it's not quite the blind leading the blind -- but the Bubbas are talking texts about Jesus' miracle of sight in John's gospel and lots of other good stuff. Special musical guest is Leann Rimes singing the gospel standard, Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound.

Lec Lab Live #63 (for March 23, 2014)

John and Delmer discuss the texts for the Third Sunday in Lent; special musical guests The Sons of the Pioneers perform Cool, Clear Water.
