Reading a post about #ChristTheKing and suddenly I have the King of Kings song/chant in my head :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cJie9wI7XWU

A thought on this #ChristTheKing Sunday.
The just-concluded US #midterm #elections leave people anxious. "Who's going to have the House? Who's going to have the Senate?"
Colossians 1:16 says our answer, every election, is "Christ". Whatever the outcome, at a level pundits never consider, these institutions are created by him, for him. Elections matter, but what matters more is the overarching authority of the one who lives and dies and lives again that we may live in love and at peace with him and one another forever.

#Prayer for Today
Eternal Father,
whose Son Jesus Christ ascended to the throne of heaven
that he might rule over all things as Lord and King:
keep the Church in the unity of the Spirit
and in the bond of peace,
and bring the whole created order to worship at his feet;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

I understand and I know from experience that: “The kingdom of God is within you.”

Evensong on this #ChristTheKing Sunday. Little brother was upset we forgot his “pretty shoes” while big brother (“I hate church”) surprised me by singing along to the hymns. Hard to find a sweeter sound than a child singing in worship.

Check out these hymns chosen by @danielstroud :
Crown Him With Many Crowns
The God of Abraham Praise
Bread of Heaven 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Lo, He Comes With Clouds Descending

Ready for #advent now! 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

Today on #ChristTheKing there’s an Open Table service for #TDOR at Sacred Trinity Salford, 19.15 UK time. I shall be preaching. Do join us if you’re able. #LGBT+

"“You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”" John 18:37

So is it okay for me to be watching a repeat of the finale of Drag Race season 4 (and the crowning of Sharon Needles) after preaching on Christ the King Sunday? I sure hope not!

"Jesus, you are the Lamb I love.
You are all I need, O supreme good!
In you I have everything, the earth and even Heaven.
The Flower that I pick, O my King,
Is You!…"
