Those who know me well would not be at all surprised that this morning there was nowhere else I would rather be than listening to my own pastor, Tope Koleoso.

He said he was planning to speak on The importance of prayer The place of worship Preaching The importance of prayer The atmosphere you are in when you get saved sets you up in the Kingdom of God.

The reality of Hell – a sermon by Tope Koleoso
July 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The above sermon will shake you to the core. Tope didn't mention those who have recently been denying hell by name, but his disagreement with them could not have been clearer. This is a compassionate yet very direct sermon on a painful but important subject. It was my delight to pray with someone at the end who wanted to become a Christian, and I know there were others. But perhaps the real targets were people like me. People who theologically believe this teaching but don't live as though it … [Read more...]
Terry Virgo on moving from Brighton to London
July 5, 2011 By 2 Comments
Tope: I’ve got to ask you. You, are moving to London, and I live in London. You are very welcome to my city! But why are you moving to London? Terry: Well, it’s fascinating. It’s something I never anticipated happening. I was born in Brighton and when I first left secular work, I really felt God gave me promises for Brighton. Quite amazing to be honest. I can show you whole Bibles with verses underlined and things written in the margin. And I really felt God was going to do something … [Read more...]
Tope Koleoso on Evangelism. Prepare to be challenged.
July 3, 2011 By 1 Comment
The above sermon was one of Tope's finest. It had me squirming in my seat from the first sentence. You will do well to listen. You will do well to pray as I have today, "God give me opportunities to put this into practice." May God use this sermon to wake many of us up to evangelism. Downloads and more sermons available on the Jubilee site. … [Read more...]
The Apostle Paul's Blogging Checklist, Hell, and Rob Bell
April 12, 2011 By 9 Comments
Now that Rob Bell's controversial book Love Wins is on sale on both sides of the Atlantic and many other comments have been made, I am feeling like I cannot avoid engaging in the controversy, or at least should read some more material to understand it better. I did not seek out such involvement, as you can see from my post which ironically listed Five Reasons I hadn't previously blogged about Rob Bell. Since then I have posted a couple of highly relevant articles without directly addressing … [Read more...]

March 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment
In this video with my pastor, Tope Koleoso, and Dr. Jack Hayford, I first ask Tope how he decides who to invite to the 300 Conference.

We discuss longevity of ministry, the need to learn from others in different wings of the Body of Christ, and the importance of passing on to others what God has given to you. You will enjoy this informal conversation with a true father in our faith: By now you should … [Read more...]
