Revelation And The Word Part 2

Scripture proclaims the truth about: God.  He is good, holy, gracious, and merciful. God’s continuing love. Humanity.  Man’s creation, his fall through disobedience, alienated from God the Father. Salvation. Restored identity, inherence, calling and commission. God so loved the world he sent Jesus to pull down the dividing wall through the cross that pays our debt. Man’s rescue from guilt and alienation. Evil. Tells us there is Satan and his demons who try to make the worst seem the best, who accuses the saints. But he who is in us is greater, and he can be resisted through submission to God. Judgement. Humanity will be judged according to how they responded to Jesus Christ. Rewards. The Christian will be rewards for what they did here on earth. Eternity. God placed eternity in men and women’s hearts, people instinctively know that death is unnatural. There will be a new heaven and new earth for those who are in Christ to enjoy, and those who reject Christ the terrible reality of hell.

The Believer is Not simply called to fulfil a duty towards the Bible, like ticking a box when we have read a chapter etc. Must allow the word of God to have this teaching application in our lives coming under its authority, reading it from the place of trust and surrender.

Sometimes as we read the bible, we may feel tempted to draw back from its correction. We may argue with its teaching, resent its discipline, or question its assertions, when we feel these reactions we know that it is God searching us. At times like these, growth happens as we stop and examine not only God’s word but also our response to it.

Why are we feeling upset or challenged?  Why is the bible affecting us in a particular way?  What specific attitudes or behaviours is it addressing? Christianity isn’t just about not doing certain things, it is also about the call to embrace a new way of life.Not just about correction but about commissioning us to a life of impact and power.

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

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.
