Lutheran Reflections episodes

  • Advent 1 - Preparing with the Prophets
    In this first episode of the new church year, we take a look at the role of Old Testament Messianic prophecies in the context of Advent and discuss their use in the church today. Our primary text is Jeremiah 23:5-8, the Old Testament reading for Advent 1.
    45 min
  • Christ Returns
    As we conclude another church year, we reflect on the epistle reading for Trinity 27, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11. What will happen at Christ's second coming? How do Lutherans understand the "rapture" mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 4:17? This and more on this week's episode.
    41 min
  • Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
    Is our salvation contingent upon our willingness to forgive others? If so, how does this fit with the doctrine that we are saved by faith alone? We turn to Martin Luther as we answer these questions and more in our discussion of the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant.

  • Lutheran Ethics and Natural Law
    In this special episode, we take a look at the current landscape of moral philosophy in the American Lutheran church. Is there such a thing as a "Lutheran Ethic?" If so, what does it look like, and how can Martin Luther and the other reformers help guide us in this area? All this and more in tonight's episode.

  • Healing of a Man on the Sabbath
    In this episode, we look at the Gospel reading for the 17th Sunday after Trinity, which is Luke 14:1-11. Here, Jesus is asked by the Pharisees if it is lawful to heal a man on the Sabbath. How is Jesus's answer to this question commonly misunderstood? What does it mean for us to keep the Sabbath day holy? Answers to these questions and more on tonight's episode.
