Jesus vs Religion

Jesus and Religion:

A Closer Look Not Looking for Religion? Neither Are We! Many people assume that following Jesus means being ‘religious’. However, history shows us that Jesus was actually criticised by the religious leaders of his time for not being ‘religious’ enough in their eyes. Rather than fitting into their expectations, Jesus often challenged the status quo.

Jesus and the Religious Leaders

One notable incident involved Jesus having a confrontation with these leaders. His so-called ‘crime’? Helping people on what was considered the wrong day of the week. For the religious authorities, this act went against their strict rules and traditions.

What Kind of Religion Did Jesus Want?

Jesus made it clear that he was not interested in the type of religion that focuses on rules over compassion. He did not desire that kind of religion, and neither do we. Join us as Pastor Chris explores this remarkable encounter and what it means for us today.
