My Story
The Story of God’s Grace in the Lives of CC Members
“You were redeemed from the empty ways of life … with the precious blood of Christ, the lamb without blemish or defect.”
1 Peter 1:18-19
As born-again Christians, we all have unique stories of how God called us out from lives lived apart from him, and delivered us from different struggles & sins. As we looked around, we saw many such stories waiting to be told from amongst us.
Through ‘My Story’, we bring to you real stories of the redeeming work of God in the lives of the members of Center Church,
each a sinner saved by grace, each bearing the distinct marks of God’s grace.
Our desire is that these stories will help us understand one another’s journey a little better, and help us see the grace of God at work in the lives of those around us.
We also hope that these candid glimpses past seemingly perfect facades may serve as an encouragement to others, that it will help us be more open with one another, and also reduce the pressure to ‘appear perfect’.
Above all, we hope that the lives opened here, may lead us to praise & thank God all the more for his faithfulness to us.
