Excellent ASBO Jesus!

The Blog 'The Ongoing Adventures of Asbo Jesus' often has lots of fuel for thought, this one is no exception. Jon is also a twitterer, you can find him here and I hope he doesn't mind me showing the picture, there didn't seem to be a don't copy command on the website but I will take it down and just put a link up if that's preferred. Whatever, he's highly recommended!

Excellent concept. The church needs to move to the people. That's what Sidewalk Sunday School was all about.

I am giving the message at the 5 o'clock service this Sunday evening. Your post just gave me the inspiration for my opening sentence: For oo long we have sat on our pews, safe behind our church walls, and waited to see who would come to us.

I am going to share the story of Rev. Bill Wilson and his commitment to outreach ministries. I will post it Sunday night or Monday morning.

I had to go do some research. I had NO idea what ASBO was! I was asking myself "what IS this ASBO Jesus?"... LOL! Well, if Jesus lived today, I'm sure he would be considered ASBO in many ways. He certainly was back in the day! So... having done my research, I was able to look through the cartoons and "get it" appropriately! ;)

It is certainly true that the church needs to get OUT into the community! We can't sit back and expect the community is going to "just decide" to come to US!

Another sermon - as seems to be the way of this blog at present! Life is busy and complicated, and good, and bad, and exciting, and challenging, and (in short) not conducive to getting Blog posts written! So, here's my thought for today taken from these passages (Click for details): Exodus 16:1–5, 9–15,  Psalm 78;18–29 Mt 13.1–9 Grace and Meaning In the words of St Paul, or perhaps St John, or maybe St George, or even St Ringo “When I was younger, so much younger than today.” Ah, sorry, couldn’t resist!  No, it’s not a tubby boy story – but just a general reflection that today’s story from the book of Exodus used to cause me great consternation.  Or at least was one of those parts of Scripture that didn’t seem to fit… I knew the story, the mythological story I am now convinced, of the temptations in the wilderness when Jesus proclaims, quoting Deuteronomy 6 ‘you shall not put the Lord your God to the test’. As I moved into the Anglican Church and ...

Happy Christmas everyone

The title says it all really! It's about 1.40am and I have just got back from the last of my 'midnight' services - which started at 7.30pm! It has been a great evening, with lots of people taking part in the celebrations. As you might have guessed, the last few days has been very busy, so apologies for not posting, the next few days may well be quiet too as I gently conk out and spend some time recovering. But to all of you, a Blessed and Peaceful Christmas to you and yours!
