Sermon Centrals Weekly Report –
Always encouraged by the Weekly Report from Sermon Central and I always enjoy the comments from Christians requesting the PowerPoints to go along with the text of the talks. Instead of these sermons being ‘dead’ on a computer hard drive once the text goes online they are ‘alive’ to anyone who is looking for help in their preparation or just needs an illustration or two or a sermon outline.

Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London – Glorious sunshine but cold, so cold in the park today.
The usual mix of conversations, one great encounter for Mark as we went to get a brew from the cafe stall, he was able to engage in quality conversation with a Ukrainian man who gladly took a gospel of John in his own language. Graham and I had a long chat with Miguel from Mexico, a man who really does needs the light to shine in his spiritual darkness!

Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“I try asking him some more questions, but it’s like talking to voice mail.” ― Michael Montoure.

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.
