Valuing His Presence Part 2. What would happen to a baby if it determined its future by its past? What if a newborn thought,  “I’ve never walked before I don’t have the gift of walking, or when I tried to talk nobody understood me, I’m not meant to talk”, in reality babies determine their future by looking at their parents.

For the person who is born again and it is biblically illegal to use your past/present circumstances to determine your future. Rather, we are called to look at God to see where you are going and what we are becoming 2 Cor 3:17. In Christ we start with Glory. John 17:22. We satrt with new 'DNA'. 

Transformation happens by contemplating and looking thoughtfully for a long time at God. He is the standard. Growing from glory to glory is your ministry. Not dirty to less dirty. Christian, you are being transformed to be like Him, Think like Him, Act Like Him.

As we behold we reflect. Fruit/gifts of the Spirit are you leaking glory. We only know we carry something when we risk releasing it. A Child has to risk speaking, crawling, walking, running. Maybe you haven’t raised the dead yet, but we can say, but I will, because when I look at my I see that's when he does. And as I look at Him I'm being transformed into His image. I'm increasingly doing the things that Jesus did. ACTS 10:38

God calls us to Grow up and become child like (Matthew 18) Children haven’t lost adventure and wonder. Holy Spirit gives freedom to experiment and explore. Everybody rejoices in babies attempts to walk. Babies are so convinced its in in them to walk that they don’t get discouraged and stop trying. Must become increasingly fully convinced we will do the signs that follow those who believe, and not grow weary and discouraged as we learn to walk in them.

Mustn’t live fearing that he has left because we fell over in trying to walk. When kids do well PARENTS interact, when they mess up THEY interact. relax and go again. He’s not up-tight if don’t get it. He celebrates progress.

Some key information about the church...

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go.

Sunday is special because it’s the main opportunity in the week for the whole church family to gather, worship God, enjoy his manifest presence together, minister to one-another, receive encouragement and exhortation from God’s word and be refreshed by God’s Spirit and one-another’s friendship and support.

There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray, prophesy or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a preach, we take time to understand the bible’s message and how this can teach us about God, about ourselves, about the world that we live in and about what authentic Christian lifestyle looks like in practice. At the end of the preach there is always a chance to respond.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

 

What happens to the kids at church?

As a family church we are thrilled to have people of all ages involved in our Sunday morning meetings. Typically, after worshiping together for 30 minutes or so, the children and young people will leave for their own activities.

We have a fantastic programme for the kids at the Church for ages 0–14. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children need to go to their programme.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under church life.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

 

Will I have to join in?

You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
