Highfields: ‘open-air preaching to a million people’

Highfields Church in Cardiff was able to share the hope of Christ with around a million people as they hosted BBC Radio 4’s Sunday Worship on 17 November.

The live broadcast lasted 38 minutes and was split equally between singing and speaking, giving Lead Minister Dave Gobbett a great opportunity to share Christ with a worldwide audience. He said: ‘The main thrust of my message from Ephesians 2 was that Jesus uniquely brings people together because Jesus uniquely brings people to God. Only Jesus can pull our troubled world together.

‘All the words of my sermon needed to be agreed before the broadcast and I felt sure I would be asked to tone it down. In the end, the script only received a minor revision – and even that was just stylistic, it wasn’t related to the content.’
