Just One 



To the Emirates Stadium in N7 this afternoon for the much anticipated Just One event. 

It was billed as an invitation event - i.e. each one bring Just One guest - which made the decision to open with 20 minutes of Hillsong worship an interesting choice. Should we be expecting our non-believing friends to sing a song that repeatedly recites the creed? Hmmm. 



The interviews were more guest friendly, including ex-footballer Linvoy Primus, and former Vicar of Baghdad, Canon Andrew White, who both spoke about personal faith. 

The London Community Gospel Choir, Matt Redman and Noel Robinson all played their part in leading us in praise. 

The central part of the event was J John explaining passionately the message of John 3:16, pointing us to the identity and authority of Jesus. His talk was clear and offered listeners the chance to respond - and many hundreds did. 

I pray that for those who responded to hearing the good news of Jesus today, this encounter with him will be as significant and life changing as was a similar experience for me 33 years ago in Derby Assembly Rooms. Best 50p I ever spent...
