Jesus Doesn't Need Your Jacket Waved (#1110) Elim
Manage episode 503622393 series 2795737
In an age dominated by crowd mentality, Reverend Ben Cooper delivers one of his most urgent and uncompromising messages yet—a call to break free from religious performance and cultural pressure in order to experience authentic, life-changing faith in Jesus Christ.
Recorded in London, England, this message draws from the dramatic scene in Mark 5, where Jairus pleads for his daughter’s life and a desperate woman reaches through the crowd to touch Jesus’ garment. Cooper shows how easily believers can be swept along by movements, trends, and church spectacle while missing the only thing that truly matters: a direct encounter with Christ.
“The crowd was around Jesus. But just because there is a crowd, just because there is a vast number of people, doesn’t mean they’re touching Jesus in the right way,” Cooper warns with piercing clarity.
This message exposes the showmanship and hype that so often replace truth in modern worship:
- Pastors turning sermons into performances
- Congregations chasing religious fads instead of the Gospel
- People confusing emotional highs with true holiness
Cooper draws a clear, uncompromising line:
- Spirit without truth becomes empty mantra and idol worship.
- Spirit and truth together bring the unmistakable presence of Jesus into the room.
The heart of this sermon is a passionate cry for immediacy:
“I can’t wait for the end of a 12-week course… I need Jesus now.”
This urgency cuts against the slow, institutionalised patterns of religion. Faith, Cooper insists, isn’t something to be scheduled, programmed, or delayed—it’s about the living presence of Christ meeting us in the very moment we call on Him.
The message culminates in a powerful communion reflection:
“Wherever you are, Jesus Christ is. He is omnipresent. He is omnipotent.”
Here, Cooper dismantles every false barrier—location, tradition, or religious qualification—and affirms the liberating truth: Christ is accessible to every believer, right now, in any place.
🔥 This is more than a sermon. It’s a challenge.
It’s an invitation to step out of the crowd, stop following religious noise, and touch Jesus personally.
Are you ready to leave behind cultural hype and religious performance—and encounter the living Christ for yourself?
