God is our Father and Creator; therefore, we value worshipping him and living in his love, according to his design. This looks like introducing people to the Father who would do anything to find us, knowing His nurturing trust and practical help and letting our lives be shaped by Him - as clay in a potter's hand. It also involves hearing the Father’s voice, and listening out for His songs of love over us.Passage; Isaiah 63:7-64:12; Luke 15:11-32

2024 is the year of the leader. With national elections looming and more people stepping up in responsibility at CCL, we'll be taking some time to look at the early life of the Bible's archetypal leader: King David.

We ask the question: 'Now that I'm a Christian, is that the end of sin?' We discover that, though Christ has freed us from both the penalty of sin and the power of sin, we still have a sinful nature that inclines us to sin. We look at two ways by which we can live free from sin in practice: a truth to reckon with and a person to partner with.

Through his death and resurrection, Jesus defeated his final enemy: death itself. This means that there is power to call upon his name and his blood in our lives, but it is also the bedrock of the entire Christian project - the foundations on which we can have hope for this world.

In Genesis 4 we are provided with a couple of case studies of humanity's dramatic spiral away from God's blueprint for life in the garden of Eden. Cain's distress at God's apparent disfavour opens a door for the sins of jealousy and resentment, resulting in the murder of his brother Abel. Lamech's covetousness and pride leads to his vengeful boasts. Hope is found in Jesus, descendant of Seth, who taught forgiveness and chose the path of suffering for the sake of our sin.

Within this sermon we also discuss how Jesus' death and resurrection has ultimately redeemed us from the fall. Passage: Genesis 3:1-24 Series: Genesis Speaker: Tim & Sulay

View Details

In 8 amazing verses we have God’s blueprint – we are made for relationships. Humanity works best when humanity is working together, serving and building towards God’s good works on the earth. This has its out-workings in marriage and family, of course. But it is also apparent in how we do community together and the church community is to reflect our journeying back to the blueprint.

Passage: Genesis 2:18-25

Series: Genesis

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden presents humanity with a choice between trusting God, or choosing to do things their own way. This is a choice that is repeated throughout the Bible, and one that we find ourselves faced with today.

Genesis 1 teaches that all of humanity is made in the image of God, with an overarching task - to reflect and represent his glory in all the earth - and royal duties to deliver within his divine remit.

The creation story shows us a God of pattern: creating order out of chaos, light from darkness and paints a picture of how God both formed and filled the earth. What life-giving patterns do you see in your days, weeks and years? Are your days ‘God-breathed’? The Genesis account of creation shows us how to live in a pattern of work and rest - and tells us that this is good.

We see divine acceleration in Acts as missionaries from Cyprus and Cyrene pushed beyond the boundaries and took the gospel to the Greeks in Antioch. God is wanting to bring divine acceleration in each of us - there's always more, more growth, more opportunities. He's looking for acceleration in pioneering as we are 'dreamers who do' (acting on the dreams he gives us). Finally, we are looking for divine acceleration as we seek to plant in East Leeds and work into other nations. The key for it all will be prayer - a movement of prayer in CCL.

Peter is about to call us to make every effort, the other side of the partnership we introduced in week 1. But first he makes clear that this is a response on our part – ‘in view of all this’ – in view of the faith God put in our hearts, in view of his grace and kindness, in view of his provision and promises, how shall we respond? That’s the tone, lest we read the following list of urgings as a series of demands. Plant your roots deep lay into faith, Peter says, and watch as these 7 virtues grow and produce fruit, reaching up to love as the crowning glory of the Christian life.
