Chanctonbury Church

Take the narrow road,. Give Him everything, follow Paul's example ; tunnel vision for the Lord and you'll inherit the joy of knowing Jesus. We are called to be proclaimers everywhere.

Although bitten by a snake - there's an invitation not to look at that - and focus on Jesus.

Bitten not Beaten, Acts 18, 1-6, 15.2.2026 Holly Draper by Chanctonbury Church

What is it that you trust when the wind picks up? Where am I being invited to trust God more? Who is God asking me to speak hope into?

The Lord is with us in the everyday storms of life.

Life can be hard - but God isn in the challenges.

Jesus wants us to surrender with pure and humble hearts - to fix our gaze on Him . He is looking for somewhere HIs fire can fall. Fire falls on an altar.

When God keeps moving, we will move with Him.

Jesus is saying I am the ladder - I am the gate into my presence. At Chanctonbury we are desiring to build more altars to fill this place with His Kingdom reality. Paul was in a shipwreck and we are in the business of restoring. Let's raise expectancy as we share Jesus to expect healing - God in the ordinary. I will build my church and the gates of Hades will. not overcome it.

Let's proactively invest in building the altar of the Lord - A Dwelling Place of God.

God's present to the world is God's presence.

Are you hungry for God? Drink in His Presence. Once you've found Him, stay tuned in. It's an honour to sacrifice everything for God.

Even in the soil of decay something beautiful is growing. Jesus is planting seeds for every place. God calls us to plant a garden. Long slow obedience in the same direction brings heaven to our streets.

God himself fulfilled the destiny of Jesus; he came to subvert worldly power and to release the Kingdom of God on earth. Immanuel - God is with us.

Even in the soil of decay something beautiful can grow. Jesus is planting seeds for every place. God is calling us to plant a garden to help reshape a broken nation. Long slow obedience in the same direction brings heaven to our streets.

Jesus is calling us to bear Good News. We are often intimidated, overwhelmed and overcome - but we are being released to be like Jesus.

The gospel is powerful enough to change lives. Will you believe? God is sending you! Will we launch the boats or stay on shore?

Where is God calling us to be bridges? Where is He inviting you to lay down your preferences? How much are we willing for God to work through us?

God is bigger than the chaos around us. We cannot be a non-anxious presence without His Presence. Jesus is the only answer. We fix our eyes on what is unseen.

"We are convinced that England will never be converted until the laity use the opportunities daily afforded by their various professions, crafts and occupations" General Synod, Church of England 1945. An inspiring quote to motivate! God is calling every single one of us to be a missionary to the nation.

The call for us is to become missionary people, sharing the Kingdom all the time.

This is the new normal, Matthew 10:7-25, James di Castiglione by Chanctonbury Church

On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. Matthew 16:18

How do you see God and how do you see yourself? We are sons and daughters - not slaves. We are the righteousness of God. We have peace with God. We can rejoice in the hope of the Glory of God. He showed His love for us. I turn my life back to you God.
