In this latest message in our ‘Radical Kingdom’ series, Jamie reflects on some biblical insights into how we navigate our way as a community through complex issues. Picking up on last week’s theme of Justice, and the need for ‘healthy judgement’, we considered how various traditions (as well as scripture itself!) point us towards a nuanced engagement with the text. Looking at several parables in Matthew 13, we considered how Jesus seems to be encouraging us to walk a careful line between receiving the traditions of the past, being open to the new revelations of the present, and always being cautious about rushing in to make our own judgements too quickly!

In Matthew 23, Jesus speaks directly to one of the most committed and conscientious religious communities of his day… and is utterly scathing! Is there something in the ‘religious mindset’ that can draw us into focussing on rule-keeping and wall-building? While the objects of this diligence may have value, Jesus’ words are a stark reminder that there are in fact “weightier”. “more important” matters that require our significant attention. Jamie draws out the implications of this in what we prioritise in our ministry as a church; And also in how we relate to one another, especially when it comes to disagreements over doctrine.

Steve Jobs, the pioneer of tech giant Apple, once said ‘I’d rather be a pirate than join the navy’.
Still clearly not quite over this summer’s holiday club with its buccaneering theme… Jamie muses on the connection between small, radical movements on the fringes, and the power to effect revolutionary change. Jesus’ metaphors of salt, light, mustard seeds and yeast in the dough seem to underscore that it is the small and humble, rather than the mighty and powerful, that have real power for transformation. Drawing upon Anabaptist theology, Jamie illustrates the dangers of ‘establishment thinking’ and challenges us to rethink our perception of ‘the Holy’.

Most people can be very impacted at times by what they think other people are thinking about them; Indeed, the opinions of others are an important dimension of living in community. They can be a very necessary way in which we receive guidance, critique or even discipline. But opinions need to be filtered and weighed, not taken at face value: Ultimately, we need to test them with our heavenly Father. Jamie explores this pastoral topic, offering some reflections of how we might cultivate a place of intimate, honest self reflection as part of our relationship with God.
