There seems to be within our Christian walk an ongoing reoccurring event that happens between us and Holy Spirit.  It's when we receive or we catch a fresh revelation of God and we draw a line in the sand and say to ourselves, 'let's begin from here.'  We don't need to go back to the beginning when we received Christ but we begin from where we are as God leads us to where He's designed us to be.  This principle of starting anew because we received a new truth repeats itself over and over again.  As long as you are open to receive newness, you'll always be finding freshness.  May you walk in the fullness of being renewed and refreshed today.  

This Sunday morning I'll be sharing with you, 'Are You Awake and Renewed?'  Many are awakened to new life but they have never submitted to having a renewed mind.  They are saved in their heart and love God but they are weak in their head and thus lack the understanding that they need to walk with the God that they love.  Sunday evening, 'I Can't Get Over it!'  The things in your past that you can't get over are never far begin you.  They call out to you to look back every time that there is an opportunity to move forward.

Continue to pray for those in need, looking forward to seeing you soon, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

Hi everyone, a little early for my Friday email but I wanted to inform you about Mary Lou's celebration of life service tomorrow at 11 at Chants Funeral Home.  The family of Mary Lou's has asked for our choir and orchestra to do the music.  If you are involved in the music ministry please try to be there at 10:15.  Mary Lou was a loved member of our church family and she will be missed here below but we know that we shall sing with her again one day.  She told me a few weeks ago when she was in the hospital that she wins either way.  She wins if she goes to be with her Saviour and Lord and she wins if she comes back home to family and friends.  Truly an amazing understanding in how to walk with Jesus.

Also letting the Men know that there is a breakfast at the Pentecostal Church Saturday morning and Saturday evening @ 7 the Lumber River Quartet will be ministering at our church location.  Sunday morning it's Father's Day with a special something for all the Fathers.  Lumber River will be singing, there'll be a baby dedication, and I'll be sharing a word, 'Ordinary Fathers.'  It's in the ordinary moments of life when God shows up that extra ordinary things happen.  There will be no evening service on Father's Day.

Praise the Lord Jesus.  We had called for a work day on the church land this morning but the weather is not co operating with us.  Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world.  A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."  You are a light with a choice to shine or not shine.  Once you accept Christ, you are a light because Jesus the light of the world lives in you.  Jesus said, 'let your light shine' or allow the Christ in you to illuminate the world around you.  Then as others see you and they watch you they glorify God and are drawn to Jesus.  So go ahead and let your light shine today.

This Sunday in the morning I'll be sharing on, 'A Crossroad.'  Life is full of intersections.  Roads or choices that lead us in different directions.  Making the right choice is all important.  In the evening I'll be sharing on, 'What You Need.' Fullness in life depends on who you have around you.  It wasn't good for Adam to be alone and it's not good for you.  What input do you need to be made complete? 

Next Saturday evening 7 pm at our church we are having the Lumber River Quartet.  This is a community event and we have invited all the other churches to join us.  Next Sunday is Father's Day and Lumber River will be will us for the morning service and there will be no evening service.

Continue to pray for all those in need.  Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

Praise the Lord for He is good.  With how busy things are getting I'm not sure if we are slowing down for the summer or speeding up to do greater things.  Being in Newfoundland was amazing.  I really felt that I had a word from the Lord for the churches that I spoke in.  I was in 4 different denominations across the province of Newfoundland as their guest speaker.  God spoke to me a few years ago about being a bridge builder between different church groups.  I am truly humbled as He continues to fulfill His word.

This Sunday is Family Sunday (risk an Amen) and we start with food and fellowship at 10:15 followed by the morning service.  I have a word to share with you, 'How Is Your Hearing?'  How you are in hearing, determines what you believe in doing.  There will be communion and on Family Sunday there is no evening service.  Don't forget to bring some food and friends and come expecting a miracle.

The sun is shining, it's Mother's Day weekend, and the Lord He is good.  Ephesians 5:13-14 "But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.  Therefore He says Awake oh sleeper and rise from the dead and Christ will give you light."  It's a day of blessing for all those who are awake and have an ear to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying.  If you are asleep then wake up for the day is great and you're missing it.  Spiritual slumber and sleep causes us to miss the warmth of the Son who wants to shine on us.  Maybe your man made bed side clock broke at 2 am and you awake to view the clock and want to go back to sleep but stir yourself, awake oh sleeper and don't miss the fact that the light of God's Son is flooding your room.  The last few years the devil has deceived so many people with a broken understanding and now they sleep in as the light of Jesus is bringing signs and wonders to the Church.  Look around you, Jesus is alive!

This is Mother's Day Sunday and I'll be sharing on, 'Mother's of Faith.'  God promises according to His Word to always make a way of escape.  The way of escape will always be according to His Word but He does not promise that we who follow His way will always like the way of escape.  Commitment and submission to His written Word will always be required in the way of escape from our problem.  There will be no Sunday evening service this Sunday as people take time to honour your Mom.

As many of you know I am the area director for the Canadian Fellowship of Christian Ministries (CFCM)  Alice and I will be away meeting with Pastor's and leaders over the next two Sundays.  I will be speaking next Saturday evening at a leadership rally in Harbour Grace, Sunday am in Victoria (PAON) church and Sunday evening CFCM church in New Harbour.  We will spend a few days with Jenny, Murray and our grand children in Carbonear.  The following  Sunday we'll be with Pastor Cyril Rogers at Son Rise church in Corner Brook.  Next Sunday here Pastor Bruce will bring the morning message and Louie Campbell the evening.  The following Sunday sharing the Word will be Pastor Mark in the morning and Pastor Bruce in the evening.  Pray for Alice and myself as we go to encourage and lift up the hands of our pastors.            

Continue to pray for Mary Lou who is receiving treatments in Halifax as we pray for all those in need.  Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

How are we to walk straight looking up to Heaven while living down to earth?  As Christians we are to grow Spiritually to believe for greater miracles and still be able to relate honestly and lovingly to the world around us.  We have spiritual needs and physical needs that we need to juggle to stay in some kind of balance.  If we are going to walk according to the Word of God then we must know the Word of God.  To have a safe journey through life it's the Word that is able to guide us.  When someone tells you that there are parts of the Bible that no longer apply or it can't help us and guide us today they tell lies. 

2 Timothy 3:16-17  "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Our society is no longer thoroughly equipped for every good work because they are no longer thoroughly convinced that the Bible is the owner's manual for life.  I believe it's the word of God that keeps us balanced to enjoy the presence of the Lord and the natural world around us.  Keep the Word close to your heart and the Word will keep you close to God.

This is Family Sunday and we start at 10:15 with food and fellowship followed by the morning service.  Remember to take some food and invite someone to come with you.  I'll be sharing a message, "His Divine Order."  It's easy to get saved but lining up to receive your marching orders can be difficult.  It's like we plan to get married but do we plan to be married?  We want to join the Army of God but then avoid boot camp.  There will be Communion at the end and on Family Sunday there is no evening service. 

Continue to pray for those in need.  We believe in the God that Heals as we pray for Mary Lou and others who are looking for a Divine touch.  Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice

What a great day that the Lord has made.  Last Sunday morning I shared that there are three things we were created for.  To learn, to grow, and to walk with God.  Each day this week I have been more keenly aware of these three things.  This morning I was at the Prayer Breakfast and then I went to the funeral service for Valerie Lafitte's sister.  In both places the Holy Spirit spoke to me to listen to learn so I might grow and be able to walk with God better.  Why don't you take some time today to focus on learning and growing so you can walk with God in greater ways.

This Sunday in the morning I'll be sharing on 'Our Anointing.'  What is the anointing and what is it not?  The Lord wants you to experience the light of His powerful anointing that's in church on Sunday so you can take it home and into your world to dispel and overcome the darkness around you.  Sunday evening Ross & Dee MacInnes from Calgary who were the guest speakers at the Prayer breakfast will be sharing their story.  Invite a friend to church and enjoy the presence of the Lord.
