The Lord Jesus Christ speaks of the Kingdom of God as being like a mustard seed (the smallest of all seeds) growing into a mighty tree in which the birds of the air (the nations of the world) make their nests. This is a great theme of Scripture that the Lord uses the weak things of this world in His purposes — fearful Gideon, a woman called Jael, an unpromising young shepherd boy. The promises of the Messiah are of a shoot out of dry ground, a small stone which defeats the kingdoms of this world.
At London Seminary we are aware that we are a small college, humanly unimpressive. Yet we are astonished at how the Lord graciously uses this ministry to accomplish His purposes. This year, once again, we are encouraged to see our student numbers growing, and it is especially good to see an increasing number of residential students (thank you for your prayers). We have just completed our Impact Report for 2025 reflecting on the Lord’s goodness over the course of the year; we would be glad to send you a copy.
In the world, the church is small – very often marginalised and even persecuted. In the UK, we are a tiny minority in a nation which has turned away from Biblical truth and morality. We pray for revival, and for the Lord’s blessing on Gospel ministry. How are we to engage with the political realm, or make our voice heard in the public square? Dr Graham Shearer will be addressing these questions in his special lecture on Tuesday 16th June – please do book in here. You are also invited to join us for other lectures in that week.
And of course, all are welcome to our Thanksgiving Service at 2.30pm on Saturday 20th June.
