IN LONDON FOR LONDON
Jonah 3:10-4:11
“… But Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness, not to mention all the animals. Shouldnʼt I feel sorry for such a great city?”
Luke 15:1-3
“Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! So Jesus told them this story: …”
God loves this City! Godʼs priority is lost people.
We see a lot of selfies … “Selfie” is now in the Dictionary:— a photograph taken with a smartphone or other digital camera by a person who is also in the photograph, especially for posting on a social media website:
Psalm137:1-4
By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion. We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it. For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” How shall we sing the Lord’s song In a foreign land?
Jeremiah 29:4-7
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who were carried away captive, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Focus on the fact that God has great things in store for you!
Jeremiah 29:27
“Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth who makes himself a prophet to you?”
Thereʼs always those negative people who want you to stay miserable.

Secular morality will not save the city, it needs a miracle of Godʼs Saving Grace!!!
London is saved because someone suffered in its place.
This is the story of God transforming the heart of a city and nation through His people living INTENTIONALLY!!!
This is Godʼs invitation to you to invade your city with His gracious,
merciful, lovingkindness.
We bring Shalom to the city of London! — Causing it to flourish!!!
