King's Cross Church: Making the Most With the "Least of These"

Mission/Vision

KING’S CROSS CHURCH exists to glorify God and enlarge His Kingdom by gathering regularly to proclaim and celebrate the Gospel of Jesus Christ, yielding to the authority of God’s Word as illuminated by the Holy Spirit and summarized in the historic Christian Creeds and Reformed Confessions, partaking together of Christ’s presence in the Sacraments, providing opportunities to love and serve one another in Community, equipping the saints for Ministry to those who are lost and hurting, both locally and globally, and preparing them to cultivate Shalom (peace and well-being) wherever God calls them to serve.

Making the Most With the "Least of These"

I was privileged to attend the 2012 Desiring God conference last week with my good friend and fellow minister David Hatcher. The plenary speakers were John Piper, Douglas Wilson, Darrin Patrick, Crawford Loritts and Ramez Atallah. I knew and was therefore very excited to hear from all of the speakers except for Ramez Attalah (of whom I knew nothing.) Mr. Atallah was slotted as the very last plenary speaker, and I have to admit when this smallish man with big glasses, a neatly trimmed mustache and wearing a black suit took the podium I was less than hopeful regarding how riveting/useful his presentation would be. And boy-oh-boy was I wrong. The Desiring God folk had indeed "saved the best for last." His assigned topic was "courage and creativity in ministry" but the power of his message really has more to do with God's ability to accomplish amazing things with extremely humble means. You can watch the video here, but you might have to download it in order to view it. I'd love to hear your comments. Enjoy.
