Robyn is joined by Adrian Jackson to talk about the way God appears in Isaiah 6:1-8 (9-13), Luke 5:1-11, and 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. These texts contrast holiness and sinfulness, poverty and abundance, and grace and unworthiness in interesting ways.  
We refer to temple reliefs and the way the Isaiah 6 text might be a political satire of Assyrian temple imagery. You can find an example of such a relief <a href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1849-0502-15">here</a>- <a href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1849-0502-15">https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1849-0502-15</a>  (note the posture of the attendants)

C209 Epiphany 5

By the Well is a weekly lectionary-based podcast for preachers. Each week we take a deep dive into some of the texts from the Revised Common Lectionary, exploring their ancient setting and how we might preach them today. We aim to take the Bible seriously, but not literally, bringing the best biblical scholarship into conversation with lived experience, pastoral need, and theology.

Our name, By the Well, is a nod to the Samaritan woman in John 4. In many ways she is an ordinary woman, perhaps on the margins of her community. When she encounters Jesus during her daily task of drawing water at the well, it transforms her and her faith. In discovering the “living water” that is Christ, she becomes a preacher and evangelist for her community, bringing them to encounter the good news of God for themselves.
