Pulpit Cafe
Two friends sit down over a cup of coffee (or tea!) and have an honest conversation about a Bible text that's given to them by the Lectionary. We approach these passages as preachers, but this conversation is for all thoughtful Christians who desire a safe, thoughtful, conversational space to consider God's beautiful words of life! Your hosts are Jin Cho and Sandy Richter, who are Anglican priests. Jin is out in Irvine, California complaining about the cold when it dips below 60, and works with Micah Groups--an initiative at the intersection of preaching, worship, and justice. Sandy is the rector (senior pastor) of Christ Our Peace Anglican in Oak Park, Illinois, a church that seeks to cultivate and embody God's peace through sacramental worship and faithful action.

Episode 4
Join Sandy and Jin as they drink coffee--and tea!--and discuss this rich section of the Sermon on the Mount, as Jesus explains the depth and the beauty of the commandments of God!
We cover how the commandments of God are a reflection of who God is, as they are lived out among God's people! It is his beautiful vision of the community of God that is meant to compel us to want to participate in such a life--how can we possibly not?! Yet too often, we in the church miss the point and use these words of Jesus to determine the "sin-line"--in precise contradiction to what Jesus is doing here.
But what if the church in our times adopted these and became a community of God's virtue?
