salvation & righteousness Part 1 

The Pressure Is Off

 

Lovers get more done than workers. Fundamentally we are called to drink in His goodness and leak His goodness everywhere we go. For us to become bringers of good news we must have fresh encounters with the love and passion of Jesus. For us to effectively communicate Jesus and the gospel it must be life to us first. Breath in His love, kindness and goodness then exhale that reality where ever we go.

“The Apostle Paul encouraged Timothy “to do the work of an evangelist”  What hinders us from doing the work of the evangelist is the sense of pressure to "sell Jesus" and become like some sort of car sales person. God is calling us to lose the stereotype of what being evangelistic looks like, and step out of the box and be ourself. The pressure is off.

 

There’s no pressure on us, we don’t have to do anything, we don’t have to get them to pray a prayer, all we have to do is to get them to taste Jesus (Psalm 34) if they taste him enough they will become an ‘addict’ of his goodness. Our job is to get them to taste Jesus, because once they have tasted Him they will never be the same again.

This is very freeing, it takes away the pressure, only having one expectation to give them a taste. “But don’t you want to see them saved?” “yes, but we can live with low expectations” a simple expectation is to do our job, to give them a taste, I know if they taste enough they will never be the same.

 

Many people try to muster up enough courage to share Christ with others, to prophesy, and to heal the sick. When we keep things simple, with our motivation being love, that love will open the door for other miraculous things to take place in and through our lives. Chris Overstreet

Planning your Visit

Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about our Church.

 

Some key information about the church...

 

Where & when does the church meet?

The church meets every Sunday at 11:00 am for our Sunday Service. There is plenty of free parking around the CCK building. We are walking distance from Plumstead Train station and local buses. It’s good to get to the meeting 15 minutes early to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee before the service starts.

We meet at the church building in the middle of Plumstead

The address is:

You can see a map on our contact us page.

 

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?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
