Day off work today so did a museum tour of the Natural History Museum and British Museum.
On the way by God's grace I thought "Why not go to Elephant and Castle and visit the Metropolitan Tabernacle?"
So I did- was great to have a look around and visit their Christian bookshop.
Here are some images for you of the church where Spurgeon preached.
Yes I could have gone to some older churches in London- but I'd rather visit one that doesn't have awful liberal theology and God actually uses to save His elect thanks!!!!
I went to a revival meeting there when I was eighteen, with my Strict Baptist Friends. Full of young people praising God.
The Metropolitan Temple itself , ebbs and flows.
But it is to St Paul’s that I migrate to. There you can find Holman Hunt’s ‘ Light of the World’, and meditate on Rev3.20. The services there can be very special. I went to an Advent Carol Service. There I chatted to Sarah, then Bishop of London. Very warm, welcoming and unassuming.
Interesting to see that they hold to the traditional hour for morning Sunday worship. 🙂
Also interesting that the other long standing Baptist church in London (Bloomsbury Central) is also not in the Baptist Union, but for completely the opposite theological reasons.
