The Disciples: Simon the Zealot

May 03, 2021

What do you do when you are occupied by a hostile nation? Some, like Matthew collaborated and worked for the Romans. Others, however, saw violence as the only solution. These men would have thought nothing of using their concealed dagger to murder a Roman - after all as Romans that’s no less than they deserved. They were known as the Zealots, and the word zeal in all of it’s forms still conjures up for us images of passion and single mindedness to a cause.


Yet Jesus chose such a man - Simon the Zealot. Someone who was from this revolutionary and murderous group. "Gentle Jesus meek and mild" choosing a man of violence as a disciple? What do we make of this?


This week we listen to our guest speaker, Julian Marsh as he unpacks this for us. Do join us and listen to what he makes of this man and applies it to our daily lives.


We prepare and upload content to be premiered on our Facebook page and YouTube Channel. Join us every Sunday at 10:30 am. We also extract the audio of the message and upload to our podcast stream. You can find links for our various channels below:
