Generosity Part. (Preach Notes)

Realisation and revelation of who we are. As a church we are appointed to bring cultural transformation. “The call upon this church is much bigger than we can see, a destiny to impact nations”. A vital part of entering our calling and destiny is stepping through a door marked greater influence through generosity.

Poverty not is just an economic problem, it’s a mindset, a heart issue. a lens through which we see the world. You can see the poverty mindset on dsiplay in an all you can eat Chinese Buffet. People load their plate with every food out of fear of lack, the fear of there not being enough. It can be made manifest in feeling like a victim, believing oneself to be powerless. The poverty mindset can leave a person feeling invisible and insignificant. The sense of whatever I do it won’t work here!

Transformation begins by first establishing counter cultural soil. The yeast of generosity first starts to work in our own heart. Mark 4:19. Weeds and radical trust competing for the same soil. Generosity Guards and protects the soil and stops us putting trust in money. Stops the heart despising the seed from God and in turn choking the life out of the seed. When money is loved (see Luke 16:13). we become mastered, slaves, in submission, dependant, and ultimately worship money. Giving is a powerful way to guard our own heart.

Generosity overcomes poverty of soul. Freedom from poverty mindset. 3 John 1:1-4. genersoity is part of the means of establishing a prosperous soul, a healthy inner life. It leads to Gratitude and contentment. Spiritual Health Accelerates removal of limits and constraints. Sets higher spiritual temperature. Generosity then works through corporate soil and overcomes hopelessness and helplessness.

How to express generosity 2 Corinthians 9:6-12. God loves Intentional, willing, eager, free, cheerful, Not dutiful reluctant grudgingly in heaviness seeing God as a burden, I am not commanding you 8v8 you give what you have decided.

We step out into this by faith. It’s easy to be generous/give away when you can see you have a lot. You don’t get to see what God can supply until you begin to give away. Giving is an adventure. The measure you use will be measured to you. According to what you have. 8v7

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
SE18 1PS

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.
