Chanctonbury Church

"Let us consider the kind of Church Jesus calls us to be. Our relationships aren'r peripheral, but central to our mission. Relationships are one of the places where our surrender to Jesus is most profoundly tested - and expressed. So lets consider 1) What Sin says; 2) What Jesus says; and 3) What our relationships can say if we invite people into our churches, what are we inviting them into?"

How can we be ready for Mission? One of our Chanctonbury Mission Partners shares real life stories of radical transformation on the 'mission field'.. It started with social work - being the hands and feet of Jesus. "Sharing God's love is key." Setting our gaze on Jesus and worshipping in community is powerful. The Lord is the one who protects and releases supernatural miracles !

What has God placed in our hands that we can give? The God that calls people into generosity supplies their needs. What can our money release for the Kingdom of God?

We are being invited to step out in faith and not know the end to reach souls for Christ. How are we going to do this? Inspired from Nehemia - one hand with a sword, fighting with prayer and the other hand with a trowel ready to build. God is on the move and he wants us to be ready to rebuild the spiritual walls.

Let us throw off everything that hinders us. Let us run with perseverance the race that lies before us. Let us ix our eyes on Jesus. Prayer; Where do you want to place me?

Thinking biblically with God when disaster strikes.

One of the most important things in the Kingdom is to gather together in corporate prayer. It changes the atmosphere. Why don't we pray? 1) We don't believe anything changes (defeat```). We are more than conquerors! 2) We are quite happy as we are. There is an alarm bell in heaven to pray... the church is being dismantled brick by brick. It's time to get off the sun lounger - to fight in prayer an...

God is calling us to be part of His kingdom growth. Is God calling you to go & build or stay & build? We are close to the hallmarks of 18th Century and it was against a gloomy backdrop that mission broke forth. It's time to mobilize to break through for the expansion of the Kingdom.

What have you run out of recently? This story recalls how the wedding wine had run out. Let's explore knowing Jesus, Trusting Jesus and Watching Jesus. What does the story say about Jesus? Jesus meets our needs - he's kind, generous and he likes parties! He's a God of abundance. The servants obey Jesus, even when it doesn't make sense. Nothing is too ordinary or messy for him.

Now remember! Paul wants us to remember the impact of Jesus' life on our lives: 1. Remember what you were at that time without Christ. 2. We were strangers, without God and without hope. Now we are saved! Let's not put trust in other things apart from Christ. Everything else is meaningless! Let us remember the power of Jesus death and resurrection; in communion we can be brought near. Everything i...

Paul instructs us - now remember! Remembering is important. Paul wants us to remember the impact of Jesus' life on our lives; 1 Remember what you were once without Christ. 2 You were strangers without God and without hope. Life without God is meaningless. There's an invitation, as you take communion to remember the depth and reality that in Christ - through his death and resurrection - you have be...

'The church is a people placed in the world as a preview of what God will one day do with the whole creation'. Grace is the source of our identity, before it comes the strength of our obedience. "God is enlarging his tent not because He likes bigger tents...because there are more sons and daughters to bring home".

We have been given the mandate to rule over the places we live - both physically and spiritually. The transformation of places begins with the transformation of people (us). The transformation of people begins when we posture ourselves to receive God's mercy.
