Two Guys Walk Into A Temple (Parables #14)

Aware of his audience's perpetual love affair with performance, Jesus tells his best "two guys walk into a bar" joke to help them to stop trusting in themselves. Stop me if you've heard this one. The Pharisee went to the temple to pray and present his impressive personal religious resume. At the same time, the Tax-Collector—the community outcast and playboy—knelt in the ruin of his own life, clinging wholly to God's mercy. Only one walked away justified, and it wasn't the one his hearers would have assumed. Enjoy as Tony and Russ dive into a Lark staple parable on this week's LARKCAST.

The Unjust God (Parables #13) Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

The Unjust God (Parables #13)

For a good long while a widow demanded a local judge to justify her in court against her adversary, but her case was dismissed time and time again because it had no legal merit. The widow, unable take no for an answer, kept coming back to the judge. At the risk of his reputation and an ethic committee investigation into grounds for disbarment—he decides to justify her. This illegal vindication came not from the law, but the selfishness of the judge who desired to once and for all be finished with the wet blanket of our cries for justice. Thank God Jesus felt the freedom to use a bad character as a fill-in for the Father in a parable or else we wouldn’t have the Parable of the Widow & the Unjust Judge.

How To Pray Improperly (Parables #12) Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

How To Pray Improperly

The disciples want Jesus to host a prayer retreat so they can learn how to pray properly. After Jesus underwhelms them with the Lord’s Prayer, he then tells the story of a shameless neighbor who (apparently) doesn’t know there are appropriate and inappropriate times of day to ask your neighbor for things. Listen in as Russ & Tony talk about the Parable of the Friend at Midnight through the lens of death and resurrection. It’s sure to be a lesson in how to pray improperly.

Caught in the Net (Parables #5) May 13, 2021

Show notes

Parables • #5 • Caught in the Net

The Kingdom is going fishing in this week’s podcast. The whole world, both good and bad, has found itself caught in the net of the kingdom. Eventually, this net will reach the shore and be sorted out, but until then it mysteriously operates as an indiscriminate catch-all of everything and everyone. Come for the parable, stay for Russ’ bedtime story.
