Bilney, Tyndale & Latimer

During a time of great upheaval in political and religious life, the Lord was at work in the hearts of many prominent people. Many were converted and called to give their lives for Him as martyrs, and to take a stand for the Bible. These included Queen Lady Jane Grey, Bishop Nicholas Ridley and Bishop Hugh Latimer. 

These mini-documentaries have been constructed from articles in the Sword and Trowel magazine by Dr Peter Masters and Hannah Wyncoll.

The Lord Jesus Christ said: ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.’

‘Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.’

(Matthew 11.28-29; John 6.37)

The deeper things of life are so easily crowded out today. Here at the Metropolitan Tabernacle we cater for the needs of the soul.

Permit me, as a pastor for many years, to plead with you not to let the ultimate meaning and purpose of life pass you by. True fulfilment and happiness depends on knowing who we are, and knowing the Lord, our Creator. Don’t let yourself be swept away, programmed and ruled by the shallow things of materialism and hedonism. We need God and one day we must give account to Him.

-Dr Peter Masters
