God Our Redeemer

Episode 27 of Season 4 is a meditation on Matthew 1:1-6 where Matthew seems to go out of his way to name four women in the genealogy of Jesus - and not just any four women, but specifically those with outsider status and/or questionable moral circumstances. Their inclusion highlights God's ability to redeem any story to bring about his salvific purposes in the earth.

Palm Sunday - The Humble King

This is a re-release of Episode 36 of Season 3, which is a Palm Sunday reflection on Matthew 21:6-14. Jesus rides into Jerusalem to the praise of the people expecting a triumphant political ruler. But Jesus is seated on a donkey, not a warhorse. He goes to the temple, not Herod's palace. He drives out the money changers, not the Romans. But in so doing, He makes a way for peace amid violence; healing amid injustice.
