Update from Pastor Dave

Welcome back – it’s great to see you here again!

We may not be able to meet together at the moment, but we’re so glad you’re staying connected! The way church operates may have changed but our mission, vision and purpose hasn’t altered one bit! We hope you’ll make this page one of the most visited in your week during these challenging times. Please stay in touch with each other throughout the week and provide help and support wherever you can! Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Voice Calls etc. make this task very easy for us all. So who will you FaceTime today with a cuppa in hand?

God bless you all! Your CCC leadership team!

We’re using ZOOM as our preferred video tool for small group meetings from our homes. Please download the app into your preferred device for video calls (iPad / laptop etc) and signup for free ready to receive meeting room invitations.

We found a great tutorial on YouTube that may help you understand the potential of this application. CLICK HERE TO WATCH (skip ads)

Let us explain…

We are working hard to keep the church connected during this time as all gatherings are postponed until our nation gets through the current crisis.

This page is now our virtual church hub and hopefully an active space where we can share, support and continue with our mission together.

Church Online Live – Sundays at 10:30 am

Our weekly message and perhaps worship too will commence streaming at 10:30am on the dot. It will be as if you’d come to church so you’ll have to be on time! This also allows some interaction and incorporates a bible app so we can participate in this together online live.

Tithes and Offerings at Christchurch Christian Centre

Weekly Offering

The church building may be closed but your tithes and offerings towards His work are vital to help us fulfil our vision and to cover our expenses etc that remain though our meetings are temporarily on hold.

You can still give using our online donations facilities by CLICKING HERE

We appreciate all your support.

Thank you.

Weekly Worship, Communion and Offerings

Sung praise and worship is an important aspect of our worship as believers. He is worthy of all thanksgiving, glory and praise. I encourage you to use this week’s worship songs (links to YouTube) and selected verses further down the page and spend 15-20 minutes or more if you can lifting Him up, and just as He makes His presence known when we gather at CCC, so too will He meet with you in your homes whether you’re alone or with your family. Be expectant, He knows you’re at home today! Let Pastor Dave know if God gives you anything for the church so that we can make it known to others.

God bless you all,

Steve

Communion is something you can continue to take together in your homes whilst we are unable to gather together. We would encourage you to do this together and consider the verses in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 as you do so.

Tithes and Offerings can still be given to support His work using the links further down the page. Thank you for your continued support.

Bring a cup of tea or coffee to our meet up on ZOOM at 12:00 Midday

Recent Prophetic Words Shared

We may not be meeting together physically at the moment, but God is still speaking to us and distributing His gifts among us His Church as He wills. We must hear what he is saying to us in these challenging times.

Word brought by Kelly - 30th March 2020

“Some may attribute this current situation to the work of the enemy, but remember that as the Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, so He sits enthroned as King forever, right now, as we endure and persevere during this ‘plague’. And His promise to His people then remains the same for us today . . . He is King! Forever! And He will give strength to us His people and He will bless us His people with peace.”

Recommended reading Psalm 29:10-11

Word brought by Kelly - 20th March 2020

“You’ve heard it said, I’m sure, that we are fighting an unseen enemy, COVID-19, but we are also learning in this time to fight, as God’s children, the unseen enemy.

We will be learning to stir our hearts towards God, learning to stir our faith and build endurance in the face of the enemy.

Not shrinking back into a posture of defeat, but with a warriors stance and posture of victory.

We can do this because Jesus is victorious and His name is above every name and every enemy, including death. So therefore, we can take this stance.

We don’t know from which direction this current enemy may come – where is it?

We are taking measures to distance ourselves and protect, to be watchful, vigilant and on our guard and we are taking action to fight.

We are not just giving in and resigning ourselves to ‘it will get us.’ NO. we are fighting.

We also need to take these measures as Christians in EVERY aspect of our lives – distance ourselves from the enemy, take measures to protect, be watchful and on our guard and take action to fight and stand against it.

If you have a weakness in your health/body, you do not put yourself in a position where you could be overcome, affected or harmed etc.

I have asthma and I choose to keep away from certain environments that will affect or harm me because of that weakness in me.

So too, if we know we have an area of weakness that causes us to be tempted to sin or indeed sin, we must choose to walk away from that – distance ourselves, take measures and precautions, in order to protect ourselves.

That might mean we have to change our circle of friends, stop going to pubs, stop reading those particular books, get rid of the electronic device that causes us to watch things we shouldn’t, stop visiting those online sites that encourage certain conversations or behaviour, steer our general conversation away from gossip or topics that lead to doubt and fear.

Take action that enables us to be distanced from sin and temptation and instead take action that enables us to be on our guard and ready to fight when that thing tries to tempt us.

Take a new stance – one of fight and victory not one of giving in or of resignation and defeat.

Acknowledge that Jesus has done the hard work already.

He has fought for us already and He has conquered and overcome sin and death.

So, distance yourself from sin and the enemy.

Take practical measures and be watchful, on your guard, not allowing any room for the enemy to affect you.

Take action to fight, relying on the Holy Spirit to guide you, prompt you and enable you to resist, fight and conquer the enemy, in strength and grace from God.”

Word brought by Marie - 16th February 2020

“You call to me as your God for help in times of trouble, yet you do not know me. For though I stand at the door and knock you do not answer, you do not let me in. Your ears are deaf and your eyes are blind. You call to me when you need help, yet you do not invite me in to the rest of your life. I give you instruction yet you ignore what I say as it does not fit with your way. When will you turn from your idols, from your life of sin? When will you repent and surrender your life to me? Everlasting forgiveness, peace and joy are yours to know when you invite me in. Do not harden your hearts any longer. Open the door and let me in and you will know fullness of life, riches beyond earthly measure and love beyond comprehension. For the wicked shall fall and burn in the darkness, but the righteous will rise into everlasting glory. Do not delay for time is not on your side, for the day is coming when one man will be taken and the other remain to face unspeakable terrors. Choose the life I died to give you. Take the gift of salvation and walk in relationship with me. Call me your God and truly know me as God for I love you and want you as you are. Come now, know me, talk with me, grow with me, rejoice with me and come and be with me your Abba Father.”

Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 3:5 (NIV)

I feel that this is a significant word for the Church at this time.

Word brought by Jenny - 7th August 2019

“My children, I love you, I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have drawn you with chords of love. But I desire holiness, I desire righteousness. I have called you to be lights in the darkness, beacons blazing for Me, for my Truth. I will not have compromise. You must stand firm for my Truth. As you stand firm, I will give the victory.”

Worship – This week’s selection

We are working on ways we can help you to keep on benefiting from personal times of praise and worship. For now, we would encourage you to make time to include praise and worship in your week as a family and alone. There are some excellent resources available to us such as YouTube and Spotify, both of which have worship playlists created by others ready to go. You can also open the Psalms and pull out key words and verses which you can then turn into your own personal praise.

Below is a video message from Steve and a YouTube video of this week’s featured worship song.
