ON MARCH 16: Domesticated Jesus with Scott Chafee (the opening clip was a scene from the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe).
Is Jesus really the Lion of Judah? Or do we prefer a tame Lion, perhaps de-clawed without fangs. It seems that in the western church we have domesticated this young Jewish rabbi who turned the world upside down with his teaching. Many in the church seem to invite Jesus into their already busy lives so that Jesus can follow US, rather than we following HIM. On Sunday, let's look at the ways we tend to TAME Jesus into something we like better than the Jesus who calls us to radical obedience and discipleship.
