As some of you may know or remember I've got a band together. I like playing music and I like Ye Olde Gospel type music so out came The Filthy Jesus Experiment. I've posted an introduction to the idea of the band here. I'm envisaging the band playing in pubs and like a ye olde revival meetings preaching a mini sermon or two during the songs. It's been a challenge to think of what I might say. The audience would be a regular pub going people probably expecting to be some kind of punk burlesque take on ye olde Christianity.
Here is what I came up with for a Christmas sermon.
Here is what I came up with for a Christmas sermon.
As we move in to the craziness of the Christmas season. Many of us will not be celebrating happy families, content lives and rich presents. So, this season the The Filthy Jesus Experiment will not be celebrating that Christianity offers us some kind of tonic to make us happy, content and rich. Instead we will be celebrating that God has come to earth via an illegitimate family, amongst the poverty of an oppressed people and in the filth of an animal stable. No God did not give us a cleansing tonic to cure our ills, instead God gave us a Filthy Jesus.
If you want you can "like" the band on Facebook.

Another request for TFJE to play on NYE please!
Sorry Mr or Ms Anonymous. Most of the band are going to a private party so no plans on a big stadium performance. ;-)
