Whose report will you believe?

Have you ever looked at one of those optical illusion pictures where depending on your focus, you can see either one image or another? And perhaps one image seems easier to focus on? 🤔

Look at the image below - do you see an old woman or a young lady?

old and young

In the book of Exodus 13 and 14, When the 12 spies went out, they all saw the same things - fruitful land 🍇, powerful people 🏋️‍♂️ and fortified cities. For 10 of them, the powerful people became their focus. For the other two, their powerful God remained their focus. 🔥

The Israelites received two reports of the same land, and had two options. Step out in faith ..or hold back in doubt. 😵‍💫

Sometimes we are faced with discouraging or disheartening reports of a situation. What we hear or see simply does not align with our hopes, and where we believe God would want us to be.

It is at these times that we must try and remember to focus on God’s promise to us, making that continued choice to hold on to His word.

Though the vision tarry, wait for it. It will surely come.

Verse of the month: Proverbs 3:5

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding.."

A Warm Hello 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 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.

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 recently featured on Songs of Praise on 1/9/24. You can view clips of that show on twitter or facebook.

We love to see new people and we really hope that you will feel right at home.
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.

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.
