Capital City Church International (3Ci)

Living like a slave in the Father’s house has been described as condemning, judgemental, anxious, insecure, marked by little intimacy and joy, no music, no dancing, deep insecurity, overly sensitive to criticism or being overlooked. Life for a slave is the same as a religious Christian; it is a joyless crushing drudgery.

Life is a combination of spectacular things and simple things. In almost everyone’s life there are breathtaking things and boring things. Fantastic things and familiar things. Extraordinary things and ordinary things. Awesome things and average things. Exotic things and everyday things. That’s the way life is. The Lord’s Prayer is reflective of life in this sense, encouraging and instructing us, in how to take our ordinary needs and our extraordinary thanksgivings to Our Father in prayer.

In Luke 11 Jesus shows us that, instead of making up boundaries that separate us from the world,  we can follow Him, and change the world: turning it upside down by loving God and people from the inside out.

We are one body, with many gifts, in view of God’s mercy and the songs that surround us, we offer these gifts to Him so that we can build the church and change the world!

The gift that God has placed in you, when exercised, activates the presence, the power and the purposes of God.

God’s Word gives us roots – and then it gives us routes. Our roots (who we are, how we’re grounded) determine our routes (where we go, how we live). So on the cusp of a new year, what does it look like to be rooted right – making God our hope and confidence – so the route ahead becomes clear?
