Sermon Brainwave 1095: Tenth Sunday after Pentecost - August 2, 2026
Episode 1094
Monday, 6 July, 2026
Jesus feeds a massive crowd in Matthew 14, and the hosts show how this act challenges imperial power. They unpack splagchnizomai, the Greek word for gut-level compassion. They trace Isaiah 55's invitation to abundant life and link it to food insecurity today. Jacob wrestles God at the Jabbok in Genesis 32 and walks away blessed and limping. Romans 9 launches a three-week reckoning with Paul's anguish over Israel. The hosts warn against supersessionist theology and anti-Semitism in the pulpit. This episode delivers sharp insight on compassion, provision, and the character of God.
