The Secret (Preach Notes) 

What is the secret to running the race of risk and faith? Hebrews 12:2:-Don’t look inwards/ Sometimes we feel courage, then on another occasion we look inwards and find the ‘bank’ of our faith empty. Overwhelmed by facts our inadequacy/Fear/exhaustion. We back off the race. Looking inwards takes our eyes off Jesus, You always come up come up short, when you look at yourself. Never feeling you have enough faith. We don’t merit something to earn His activity.

Don’t deny facts/but don’t have to understand how it works. Jesus is the solution. Superior reality  When we fix our attention on Jesus, a mind set on Him live aware of His abundance.

Jesus is not just a great example of starting/finishing. Faith/trust is authored by Him. Only grows if we are in relationship with Him. When we see who He is, overwhelmed by Him. Aligning ourselves with how He thinks. His assessment of us. 1 Tim 1:18 The real battle is believing what He says about us.
Thinking, acting, planning, talking in line. Touching the World is God’s idea, It’ s not our job to heal/saviour, our job is to believe he is the healer/saviour, to believe He’s in us, and then through risk to let Him out.

Jesus very happy with idea that faith can develop and grow, He mentioned Levels of faith (little, weak, strong, great) “CCK WE can grow” It’s a process, realise you are on a journey, celebrate progress. Steward well. Give away

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.
