Here’s how we think about life…

Faith

Every believer must live by faith. The first verses of the Bible shows our Creator creating creation through words – “Let there be light – and there was light” (Gen. 1:3). We need to know that our God wants us to be like Him – speaking light into every dark space in our lives. Faith is a magnetic space for God’s miracle working power. Jesus was prevented from doing many more miracles in His hometown because of the people’s unbelief (Matthew 13:58) – that should inspire us into action – God will do many more amazing works in our world when we live in faith. Faith is the address God has called us to live at. God is for us…not against us. He will never leave us or forsake us. The Lord wants to increase you, more and more, both you and your children (Psalm 115:14). Do you believe this?

“I have found three stages to every great work of God. First it is impossible; then it is difficult; then it is done!” – Hudson Taylor, Missionary to Inland China.

Never be afraid of the impossible – that’s where God lives…

Church isn't meant to be boring, because God isn't boring!

How many churches have you been to that bored the life out of you? How many times have you walked out of a church feeling worse than when you walked in? This is a travesty! It has to stop. Our God is an amazing Creator who carefully designed everything so excellently. At C3 Crawley we love warmth, flavour and colour. Our church and our lives must reflect His glory - amazingly. God’s Word reminds us that laughter is the best medicine, music is designed to bring joy, and to not feel guilty about lifting up our voices and make a loud noise unto the Lord…and in support our local sporting team!

Our church is vibrant, genuine and encouraging. This is what church ought to be like EVERY Sunday! (Psalm 145)

Enjoy Life Love Living

The only way to live is to make peace with your past, plan and prepare for your future - but enjoy TODAY! We can't live in the past or the future; we can only live today…in the present. So we must make every effort to jettison old grudges and past baggage that will only weigh us down. We should take a panoramic snapshot in our minds of what our bright future could hold....AND make the decision to start living that life now....laughing, learning, singing and befriending. (Philippians 3:13). It really is good for the soul.
