Belonging to Christ Community Church

Christ Community Church is coming of age.  We began as a handful of people in 2006 and at the end of last year we welcomed James Oyeniyi, Rob Tervet and Tom Pull as elders.  It was a joy to see leadership in the church firmly established.

Just as those elders have made a commitment to the church and been publicly recognized, we want to give a clear opportunity for people in the church to make their own clear commitment that they are with us.  So at the start of next year we are going use our Sunday mornings to speak again about the values and vision of the church and ultimately what it really means to really belong to Christ Community Church.

There are few things that help us enjoy the journey more than knowing our place in the big picture.  Through this series we will consider again what it means to be the people of God, together on mission for the glory of Jesus.  Are you in?

 Coming up: 1 Peter: Anchors of Truth

1 Peter is a letter written to Christians who had entered choppy waters. There was conflict at home and work where they faced criticism for doing right and not doing right.  They had begun to feel like ‘strangers’ amongst family, friends and colleagues. To top it all off they had a spiritual enemy who was ‘prowling round like a lion looking to devour them’ at the first sign of weakness or slip up. Peter responds to their SOS call by challenging their perspective of who God is and who he has called them to be. The size of a boat’s anchor is proportional to the water in which it sails. A small anchor is fine in a pond but useless when the boat enters into open seas! I sense that God would want to impart to us some of the ‘anchors of truth’ that Peter teaches in this letter as we as a church seek to move into deeper waters in our relationship with God and each other.

May the ‘God of all Grace’ bless you this term, Tom Pull
