In the Acts reading Ian explores the death of Stephen, the first Christian to die for their faith, and also the Luke reading of a young 12 year old Jesus listening and engaging with the Torah in the temple in Jerusalem.  Both these texts suggest that much of the Christian life is not easy, often where we do not fit in with contemporary society.  For mote information on the St Luke’s community and resources see www.stlukespeckham.co.uk.

Christmas Day: Emmanuel is not the ‘God for them’ but the ‘God with us’

Nativity1

In this podcast on Christmas Day at St Luke’s Church Peckham Ian Mobsby explores the meaning of ‘Emmanuel’ as ‘God with us’.  Too often in Christianity the story of the birth of Jesus is heard as the story of the God ‘for them’.  This homily explores the generous and scandalous love of God, that seeks to come as a fragile human being for hope for all people.  The paradox of a man coming from God who was truly God and truly human.

In this podcast on the fourth Sunday of Advent, 2015, Ian Mobsby explores the context and meaning of Mary’s Song of Redemptive Revolution as recorded in the Gospel of Luke 1.39-45[46-55].  This text commonaly called the Magnificat, is said at Evening Prayer in most Anglican Churches and religious communities.  As such Mary’s vision is deeply political in that it seeks the common good for economic, social and ecological justice.  This not a violent revolution, but a calling for all those who have and have not to come to the table as equal particpants in the Kingdom of God.
