#1104: Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost – September 27, 2026

Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Cody Sanders unpack Matthew 21:23-32, where Jesus confronts the chief priests and elders in Jerusalem. They explore what Jesus's "non-answer" about his own authority reveals about power, hypocrisy, and who really enters the kingdom. The team also digs into Ezekiel 18 as trauma literature, Exodus 17's cry for water in the wilderness, and the radical humility of Philippians 2. Together, these texts ask a haunting question: Is the Lord among us or not? This conversation offers preachers fresh angles on authority, repentance, and unity as resistance for the 18th Sunday after Pentecost. Listen in for insightful exegesis and practical preaching insight.
