#OXYGEN14 DAY TWO HIGHLIGHTS

oxygen-2014-day-2

Today has been such a long and epic day! My heart is full. So much food for the soul that I almost broke twitter trying to share it all! Bed is wooing me to slumber, so here are some brief highlights of day two. [Actually, bed won the wooing competition, this post is now being finished on Wednesday morning!]

Bryan Chapell kicked off the morning with “I AM THE SON OF GOD” which was on John 10:30 where Jesus says he and the Father are one. Here are my two favourite tweets:

 

My elective stream today was presented by Paul Tripp. It feels like he spent 3 hours slapping me in the face and cutting me to the heart. Much needed! There are too many tweets to share here, but here’s a selection of the many…

#OXYGEN14 DAY ONE HIGHLIGHTS

oxygen-2014-day-1

Oxygen Conference began today with Professor John Lennox introducing the series on the “I AM” Statements in John’s Gospel: I appreciated hearing that Christians are people whose faith is built on solid evidence.

This afternoon I went to the first elective stream session on Preaching with Dr Bryan Chapell: his call to read and preach all of scripture through a redemptive lens was clear and inspiring.

In tonight’s session, D.A. Carson spoke on John 6 “I AM the Bread of Life”: a beautiful call to feed upon Jesus by believing that He gave his life on our behalf.

PHIL WICKHAM // THIS IS AMAZING GRACE

One of the great features of attending a large conference like Oxygen is the joy of singing with throngs of other Christians. The opening song in today’s first session was ‘No Other Name’ by Trev Hodge, it was loud, clear and Christ-centred. One of those goose bump moments. Great stuff.

I love to feature newish music on this blog. Phil Wickham’s ‘This is Amazing Grace’ was introduced in the same session. Great tune, solid lyrics. To be honest, I think the arrangement today was even better than the official video above! Here’s the chorus:

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You lay down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh, Jesus, I sing for
All that You’ve done for me

I’m blogging this week at Oxygen. With a flurry of quotes coming out on twitter too.
