10. “The Blessing” – this has been an amazing and wonderful phenomenon during this Lockdown with Christian artists and Choirs coming together across many nations of the world to ask God to bless their communities.

My favourite is from Zimbabwe because of the diversity of language and dialect, and that wonderful African spirit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA1tVs7VNcY&feature=youtu.be

Blessing for the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUtll3mNj5U&t=217s

Videos:
11. This may seem strange – but is a Jewish lady’s personal testimony to her own experience of heaven and of Jesus being at heaven’s very centre. It led to her conversion to Christianity – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vd583t4R60&feature=youtu.be

12. Tom Wright – talking about how, from very early on in Christianity, the only way to describe the enormity of who Jesus was and is (Ascension), is to see Him as part of who God is Himself – shows so much of the Biblical roots which are right there in the Old Testament – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DahXvRaV4E&feature=youtu.be
