We love this new song thanking and honouring the Queen, performed here by Christians from across the Commonwealth.

As we celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we honour her for the past 70 years of service, devoted to both her country and God. And we thank Jesus, the King of all, for our Queen who serves her King. buff.ly/3tazmbY

Grateful to God for the life and witness of evangelist Luis Palau who died on Thursday. ‘You don’t have to have a jaw-dropping story of how you received Jesus. It just must be your story.’

Maybe the greatest hope for our world is that we can catch hold of the bigger agenda of God's justice, God's mercy, God's peace, and try to live our lives like that. Let's do what we believe is right, not what we believe others want. (ABY) youtu.be/OmgS-Ngb28I
