[From the Archives] TGC 113 — The Feast of Pentecost

In this episode, Ben Ball (pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Chruch, Hamel, IL, and Sixth VP of LCMS) walks us through the history and import of the Feast of Pentecost. We begin in the Old Testament where the feast is first commanded and its connection to the giving of the Law on Mt. Sinai and how the giving of the Spirit by the Word of the Gospel is the fulfillment of this. Ben then takes us through the connections to the Tower of Babel and the Gospel reading. This feast, as Ben describes it, is a feast for our times, for it teaches us that Jesus reigns by his Word over all things.

[From the Archives] TGC 111 — The Ascension

In this episode, we discuss The Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord. Why do we celebrate it? How is this feast pivotal to our lives as Christians waiting for and eagerly anticipating Christ's return in glory? Why did he go away? And in departing, does that mean he is truly absent? And if not, how is he with us now. You will see just how profound and glorious this feast is as Rick Stuckwisch (pastor of Emmaus Lutheran Church, South Bend, IN, and Departmental Editor of Gottesdienst: The Journal of Lutheran Liturgy) answers these questions and more.

TGC 193 — Villains Revised

Have you noticed that all the old villains aren’t really villains anymore? Maleficent, Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, Cruella De Vil: All these villains aren’t so much villains, but rather people who have a psychological reason for what they do. If we could only understand them how they became that way, then they’re not so bad. 

In this episode, we look at villain revisionism. Where bad isn’t really bad, thereby destroying any conception of what is good. 

Here is the article referenced in the episode: https://treeofwoe.substack.com/p/victim-manager-rebel-destroyer?s=r
