True HUMILITY 

Humility is not for the believer to focus on their insufficiency and inadequacy, rather humility is the agreement with God's assessment and promise, however impossible it appears. 

A preoccupation with ones limitation is actually a manifestation of unbelief in God's enabling grace. Being skeptical and rejecting grace can actually slow down what God intends to do. The assignment, purpose and dream He has entrusted is not inevitable. It requires our partnership with God. God has imagined things He would love to do in and through us, but in His sovereignty He has decided He won't do it without our help. 

Our thinking can hinder the flow of grace. It doesn't mean He has removed that grace, but our mindset is preventing its full manifestation.  It's like having a million pounds in the bank and never making any withdrawals. Unbelief prevents us making a demand upon God's grace. Our God given assignment will bring us into impossible situations, and if we don't draw on His grace, and instead only focus upon our weakness and fragility we won't realise that we carry favour, and that in Christ we have been fully equipped with everything needed to bring Heaven to earth. 

In the film Creed, Rocky Balboa says, "you see this guy here? (asks Creed to look in the mirror at himself) That's the toughest opponent you're ever going to face." Our biggest issue is not found in our circumstances, but in our unbelief regarding God's assessment. We must resist any violation of His grace, and choose to trust His confirmation and affirmation. 

Allow God to speak to you His good report. Let Him share with you His love, favour and affection. God's words impart strength and give you back your nerve to dream yours and God's dreams again.

Planning your Visit

New to Church?


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:

46 Lakedale Road
Plumstead
London

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.
