Holy Trinity Brompton taking a Kingdom of God 2025-26 'Cross' over last night. Why not use time today and this week to solo journey, press pause, and reflect on the themes covered during the 2+hour service (link below). And may the Holy Spirit form the heart of God and mind of Christ in us during both solo spaces and multi-person church gatherings this year. Happy New Year!

Different backdrop for our gathering this morning ... and seats! Different team - bass and mids of pipeorgan topped by soprano voices, rather than keyboard pads and Stratocaster licks. But the focus of worship and glory is ever the same. - King of Kings & Lord of Lords .... and No! is not sitting in front of us.

Praying the fullness of Jesus Christ's provision to be each of our experience today and onwards.

Salvation! Healing! Freedom! Relationship with God and one another!

May your Easter Day be full of the wondrous blessing we have in Jesus!

Five days before flying to the ECO USA Church Conference in January 2024 all plans changed, leaving Steve & Elaine questioning the validity of their US visit.

Steve & Elaine look back to the way God led them from a 'sunrise spot' suggestion of a fellow plane passenger, to pray for the recent US election, transition of power, and unbeknown to them - for a future US president from outside his home!

A lesson that even in the midst of confusion, God has a plan for his church and its members, and it still corresponds to literal scriptural direction as in 1 Timothy 2:1-4 : prayer for those in leadership and positions of authority - whether we count ourselves as supporters or not.

Looking back to the end of 2023, when Steve and Elaine were in final plans to church plant in Southern California with the USA ECO Presbyterian denomination. A dramatic change of plan cancelling the asignment brought both surprise and confusion. But looking back - God was clearly at work and leading. Elaine and Steve share details and encouragement to stay faithful and trust God even when things don't work out as planned.

Praying for friends and churches facing the devastating fires in Los Angeles. Cannot imagine the situation but having walked and driven that land - I understand the challenges the geography brings. This video may help you visualise the areas involved. Praying that the Santa Ana winds abate and stop the fires onslaught through hills and valleys and into communities. And enabling the fire services to gain control.
