PRACTICING THE WAY - TAKE THE YOKE OF THE RABBI - SERMON PODCAST #1

The Fitzroy Sermon Podcast sees the start of a new series I am doing based on John Mark Comer's book Practicing The Way. It is about discipleship or better to say apprenticeship of following Jesus.

When Jesus invited Peter and Andrew, James and John to follow him he meant much more than it being:

• A creedal belief
• A few verses that express your lifestyle
• A hand at a rally
• The faith of your family
• A place you declare on Sunday

The Rabbi's of Jesus day invited some to take their yoke. That is to follow their way of life, be with them and do as they did. It was about getting so close to your Rabbi that you are covered in their dust!

Comer writes:

“My thesis is simple: Transformation is possible if we are willing to arrange our lives around the practices, rhythms and truths that Jesus himself did, which will open our lives to God’s power to change. Add another way, we can be transformed if we are willing to apprenticeship ourselves to Jesus”
