Sermon Brainwave 1093: Eighth Sunday after Pentecost - July 19, 2026

Episode 1093

Thursday, July 2, 2026 • Duration 29:22

Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Cody Sanders tackle Matthew's parable of the wheat and the weeds and its unsettling questions about judgment and impostors in the community of faith. They turn to Isaiah 44's witness against idols, Jacob's dream at Bethel and God's promise to migrants, Psalm 86's memorable use of the word "ruffians," and Paul's rare focus on creation's groaning for redemption in Romans 8. Along the way, they connect that cosmic vision to modern issues like environmental harm and data center water usage, giving preachers rich homiletical angles for July 19, 2026.

Sermon Brainwave 1094: Ninth Sunday after Pentecost - July 26, 2026

Episode 1094

Tuesday, June 30, 2026 • Duration 27:34

Cody Sanders, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner unpack the lectionary texts for the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost. They dig into the parables of the mustard seed, the yeast, the hidden treasure, the pearl, and the dragnet from Matthew 13.

The hosts explore why Jesus chose strange, subversive images to describe the kingdom of heaven. They discuss the woman who hides yeast in an enormous amount of flour, connecting the parable to Gospel of Thomas variants. The team wrestles with the dragnet's uncomfortable sorting imagery and warns against easy allegorization. They turn to Solomon's request for an understanding mind in 1 Kings 3 and connect it to Psalm 119's themes of memory and discernment. The conversation moves to Jacob, Rachel, and Laban in Genesis 29, addressing marriage, gender, and power in the ancient world. They close with Romans 8:26-39, highlighting its pastoral power for people who have experienced religious condemnation.
