There were no tickets on the door as all were pre-allocated. I know church employees in the UK were offered tickets beyond that the selection process is an unknown, apparently about 1,000 tickets were available. In the video feed there were no panning shots which I saw of whether the Hyde Park chapel was full or not (though my eyes did keep involuntarily closing during this snore-fest). How one person was selected was very clear - by the colour of his skin and he gave the opening prayer.
The opening hymn posed the great question How Firm a foundation? Of course foundations in real-world construction are made with objective and verifiable facts and not by fuzzy feelings. So the answer to that question would be, tscc has no foundations but is a castle built in the air and originates from a confidence trickster.
After spinning the gig out for as long as possible with almost nothing happening, finally and with the crowd showing no signs of life, Russ got biz on the mike.
He recounted that apparently in mid flight his plane was ordered to divert to Manchester meaning that he'd never make the gig in time. Russ said he prayed, then came the announcement over the tannoy, the diversion was cancelled!
He thanked the members who'd cleaned the chapel and said that "we may need to clean our lives up for our inspector general". Said some generic pulpit stuff. Then, "It's not about me but about the calling that has come to me" and to "feast on the words of prophets". Something about Ministerings are more holy than HT/VT and have safety in your travels or something.
Then it was all over except yet more singing.
