Following or observing Jesus Christ?

ianmobsby — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 23:47:14 +0000

Sometimes we need to listen to outside voices, to hear the prophetic voice of God. In this podcast, Ian Mobsby reflects on a You Tube clip of a TV Show by Bill Maher who rightly points out the hypocrisy of many Christians. This is not a smug go at the North American Church, but a challenge to all Christians to be followers rather than observers of Jesus Christ.

In this podcast recorded at the Moot Eucharist in Epiphany 2012, Ian Mobsby explores the issue of following rather than just observing the teaching of Jesus Christ as recorded in the gospels. Jesus is pretty clear about expecting his disciples and followers to change the way they act. This podcast seeks to explore this drawing on three scriptural passages – Revelation 19:6-10, John 2:1-11 and Galatians 5:19-24.

Do listen to the video below, and I apologise for the swearing and expletives in the video, but the points it raises requires engagement. The podcast recording in free from any sensitive language.
