Revelation and the word (Part 2) 

Five levels of Supernatural Bible Reading

Survey Reading: Getting an overview, having a hunger to understand OT, NT, Old Covenant and New Covenant. Big picture of redemptive history. Understand the basic doctrine and how the Word deals with some pastoral issues (i.e. discouragement). This is powerful : when prophesying, we can use the Word, it is sharper than any double edged sword.

Wait and meditate: it is more than getting knowledge, you let the Word change you as something is highlighted while you are reading. Joshua 1:8 encourages us to meditate day and night. You read with Faith and expectation that is how you get fresh revelation.

One personal Word: It is the Rhema word from His mouth (Matt 4:4, John 1:1). The word comes real to you personally and specific promises, encouragement, direction become the anchor for your soul. Hope and faith are ignited, you receive strength to work through those promises even through the valley.

Resist self-defeating lies: You take the Rhema word of God in the valley of contrary circumstances and you expect the inner shift to produce a outer shift. Faith has been ignited, and then you break agreement with the lies by speaking the truth into your life. If there is any hopelessness in an area of your life, you are believing a lie. The God of Hope wants to fill you with joy -Rom 15:13. Declare the truth, believe first and your feelings will catch up.

Diligently transform your future through the Word of God: Renewing our mind will transform our future (Rom 12:2)  as we are getting hold of His promises (2 Peter 1:2-4). Like Abraham (Rom 4:14-17), you will become fully convinced and you won’t waver!

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

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.
