There is No Sacred Secular Divide

How can I keep the water level high in my life all day? How can I live aware of Him in the busyness of life?

 

Firstly it’s important not to compartmentalise your life too strongly, sometimes the lines can be blurred, normal life is not necessarily a distraction from God.  Need to change the way we think about life, there is not God time, then out of God time. Life isn’t taking you away from God, rather through a mind-shift you come to understand that you can do all of life, normal life as a representative of God, you can leak the glory of God whatever you do.   

 

Expectation is the crucial ingredient for becoming increasingly aware of Him throughout normal life. We are alert to experience His manifest presence during corporate worship because that’s what we expect. Expectation gives us focus. But Christ is in us 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. We are always seated with Christ in Heavenly places. That is our ever constant reality. But we might only be aware of this reality during tiny portions of the week. Whatever we value, we will see more of. If we begin to value His presence as of most importance we will see and experience more of it.  

Because of our sacred secular divide mind set our immediate response to the idea of valuing His presence is to turn that into a work. A work we do not have time or capacity to walk into. His presence then feels like another thing we have to fit into our busy life. Romans 12:2 Be transformed by the renewing our your mind. The mind becomes aware of what it has been trained to see. Instead thinking of living aware of Him being a work, that is founded upon discipline, determination and gritted teeth, the biblical starting place to is to retrain our thinking. He is our ever constant companion right now, all we need is to become aware of what is already a spiritual reality, and live normal life with our spiritual eyes increasingly open.

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?

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