Episode Synopsis

This week sermon Rev. William Lamar IV explores the themes of resurrection, the importance of reading for preachers, the various forms of literacy, the role of imagination in faith, and the call to build a new Jerusalem. He emphasizes that God dwells among mortals and challenges the notion of escapism in theology, urging a commitment to understanding and engaging with the world."The home of God is among mortals."John 13: 31-35 NRSVueWhen he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.  If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’  I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.Chapters00:00 A Resurrection Vision: Theological Reflections02:47 The Importance of Reading for Preachers11:33 Literacies Beyond the Page19:42 Imagining a New Heaven and Earth26:34 Building the New Jerusalem
