For the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are talking God's good intention and avoiding "the hammer." Special musical guests are the Cantus Laudendi, Eric Knapp, conductor -- performing Tom Fettke's classic choral setting of Psalm 8, The Majesty and Glory.
For the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are back on track and talking Numbers, Mark's gospel, James and praying and other stuff. Musical guests are Three Winans Brothers (not to be confused with the Wayans Brothers) holding forth with If God Be For Us.
For this Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Delmer and John are discussing Jesus, dogs, women, persistence and hope. It's good stuff. Closing music for the episode is Jesus, Lover of My Soul -- the great hymn text by Charles Wesley.
For the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are blazing a trail back to the gospel of Mark and looking inward to the human heart -- in need of redemption by God. Jeharna South sings Search Me, O God.
For the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, John and Delmer are talking texts and shooting a little breeze over the Temple, the final week of bread from John 6, and the mighty armor of God in Ephesians 6. We go out (prayerfully and carefully) with Hear Our Prayer, O Lord.
For the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are noting the rise of Solomon as king over Israel and the toughening message of Jesus in the gospel of John. When is the gospel truly "good news" for us, and when does it get a bit irritating -- if not downright uncomfortable? Alan Jackson sings There Is Power in the Blood.
Well, it's nearing the end of summertime (at least for some) and the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost has rolled around. Delmer and John are talking bread of life -- and life always includes death. A bitter episode in the story of King David today, but as always -- hope from the gospel. Special musical guests are the Lumina Vocal Ensemble performing the hauntingly beautiful setting by Josquin de Prez -- Absolon, Fili Mi (Absolom, My Son.)
For the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, John and Delmer are pondering David's repentance, bread from heaven -- and generally wondering, "What Is It?" Musical relief is provided by Chris Tomlin with Here I Am to Worship.
