Sam Charkham
Having a meal with someone is a great way to build relationship. The Bible tells us that Jesus was happy to spend time with “tax collectors and sinners”.
As a new follower, Levi was keen to introduce him to His friends and held a great banquet, inviting many tax collectors and “others”.
But this did not go down well with the Pharisees – who implied the others are “sinners”. But Jesus suggests that he is there to help those who need it most – who is that?
Who are you becoming?
We are all formed by a variety of somethings and someones. In this talk, Sam Charkham explores what some of these things might be, and asks what things can help us to become like Jesus.
At the end of this talk, Sam asks 4 questions for us to think about:
Am I expectant that God will shape my character over the course of my life?
What helpful practices am I already doing that I am finding to be life giving and transformative?
What am I currently doing that amplifies the voices of other potential masters that I should stop doing (or do differently)?
What new practice might I take up? (Remember - no shame!!)
