When Lord..?

Have you ever had one of those times when God has assured you something will happen, and you expect it to happen within a certain time…and then it doesn’t?🤔

How hard it is to get back up in faith and continue to trust even when the evidence says otherwise!!😥

So many, many times God’s timing isn’t our own. Recently God fulfilled a promise to me that He had made almost 6 years before😮!! He definitely hadn’t said it would take 6 years… !! Sometimes the holding on in faith even when things look more and more unlikely, is all part of what results in great Praise and Glory to God.

Remember after Elijah had killed the prophets of Baal, and thereafter knelt to pray for rain to come? His servant went to check for rain not just once, but seven times! Elijah knew the rain was coming, he had just been part of a mighty miracle and knew God’s awesome power, yet he still had to wait ..and wait.. and have faith about that rain, which hadn't fallen for 3 years. (1 Kings 18)

Likewise Joseph’s dreams told him his father and mother would bow down to him, but how unlikely that must have seemed when he was stuck in jail for 2 years, having previously worked as a slave in Potiphar’s home. (Genesis 39)

I have many times read the verse in Romans 4:17 that says…”God gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as if they were…”👀

Dear reader, If God has told you that an event will come to pass, and you know you are walking with Him daily, you can trust that it will…even if it takes much, much longer than you expect.🙌

Verse of the month..Romans 4:20-21

..Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that what God had promised He is also able to perform...

Planning your Visit

Greetings from Christ Church!

Easter -daffodils

Located on McDermott road, we are 5-10 minutes walk from Peckham Rye Train Station, or 10 mins walk from the Nigel Road bus stop on Peckham Rye ( Buses 343, 12 etc).

Our Sunday mornings begin with a warm welcome from our greeters and our service begins at 11am with an invitation to join in thanksgiving and praise to God.

The church is made up of people from all walks of life who have a common belief in Jesus and His love for each one of us. We love to see new people and we really hope that you will feel right at home.

You may be interested to know that Christ Church McDermott was the site of the first Religious Radio Broadcast to a UK Church (watch re-enactment here), and has featured on Songs of Praise on 1/9/24. You can view clips of that show on twitter or facebook.

Our worship is a comfortable mix of contemporary songs as well as familiar well loved hymns, and we encourage young and old to join together in song.

We look forward to a time of refreshing and encouragement as we put time aside to spend with God and with each other.
