We all will have our share of battles where we will feel that we have lost.  On that day we will feel that we were beaten and things look dark.  Our Faith is the internal light switch that turns on the power of the Holy Spirit so we can take that one bad battle and not allow our flesh to darken every battle that we ever fought.  We need to walk in the light and refuse to attend our own Pity Party.  Paul told Timothy that he needed to stir himself and move forward.  2 Corinthians 4:7-8 "...we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed."  Yes we face battles but we never face them alone.  Confidence is high, it's a way to early to quit, your best days are yet to come.
This Sunday morning I'll be sharing on, "Who Is Truly Blind?"  Jesus asked this question to His disciples, "Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?"  Jesus healed the eyes of those who were blind but the hardest eyes to had to heal were those who could already see.  The eyes of their understanding were closed.
Continue to pray for those in need.  Thank God for those in the church that have given themselves to pray more and more.  Looking forward to seeing you soon, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

Happy Canada Day to all the saints.  With all of the turmoil in the world it's a good day to remember to pray for our nation and those that rule over us.  There was, is, and will continue to be, as long as sin remains, both wicket and righteous leadership.  In the beginning there was darkness ruling over the earth and then God spoke, 'let there be light.'  Everything began to change and in a few days the earth was a different place to live.  Many times what we face in life is spiritual darkness.  It's a darkness that can hide in the shadows of our heart at noonday.  It's a darkness that can hide in others when all seems bright.  God set the example when He said to darkness, 'let there be light' and we need to speak to any area of darkness that confronts us, 'let there be light.'  Let light come to our hearts, homes, churches, and communities as we declare Jesus is the light of the world.  Jesus is the answer for He reveals the hidden things and brings unseen things into the light.  May we bring Jesus, our light, into everywhere we go today.... Happy Canada Day! 
The Youth Laser Tag event went well this past Wednesday night and more youth events are being planned for the summer.  Check with Pastor Mark for details.
Get ready, get ready, get ready, it's Family Sunday and we begin @10:15 with food and fellowship followed by the morning service.  Our guest speaker is Pastor Ted Yuke from the Rock Church in Lower Sackville and Ted has been a spiritual overseer for us for years.  Ted is no longer the senior pastor at Rock Church but he is being used around the world to encourage the Body of Christ.     
Continue to pray in faith for all the needs that are around us.  Looking forward to seeing you soon, lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice

In Matthew 16:19 Jesus said, "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."  Jesus used the word keys and not the word key.  There are many keys in the Kingdom of God because there are many doors in His Kingdom with different locks.  Also there are doors that appear in one season that were not around in a former season and there will be new doors in future seasons.  Jesus has all the keys to every door and He is willing to give them to us. Luke 11:9-10 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."  Years ago I received a vision of a parking lot filled with different cars and trucks and on the wall where I was standing were lots of keys hanging and each key was marked to match one of the vehicles.  A voice in the vision said to me, "pick one on the keys and take it for a ride."  As I reached for a certain key that was marked red hot sports car the vision paused and the voice asked me, "Why did you pick that one?"  I replied, "That's the one I liked the most."  The voice said, "that's the way it is in My Kingdom, I offer all the keys to My Kingdom but people only pick what they like the most."  The vision ended and I pondered for many days the insight that the Lord was trying to reveal to me.  I understand now that I have been given all the keys and the key that I need is the one that will open the door that's before me. I may not like the look of the key or the car but if it's the one that takes me to the next level of faith, then hop in we're going to the next level.
This Sunday morning I'll be sharing on, 'Preparing A Gallows.'  What we prepare for others is often what we have to deal with ourselves.  Prepare good things for others and good things will come back to you.
Coming up next Wednesday will be a Laser Tag event for the youth.  Check with Pastor Mark for details.  Next Sunday July 3rd is Family Sunday and we will have with us Pastor Ted Yuke from the Rock Church in Lower Sackville.  Ted has been a spiritual overseer for me and our church from the very beginning.  When I have had questions that I didn't know the answer to I would call Pastor Ted for some advice.  Ted is no longer the senior pastor at Rock Church but is being used around the world to encourage the Body of Christ.     
Continue to pray in faith for all the needs that are around us.  He who has friends is friendly so be your wonderful self and be friendly to the many new people who are coming to our church.  Looking forward to seeing you soon, lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice

We all have a measure of faith and we all have hope towards a better future.  Faith and hope are to work together but they are not the same thing.  Faith needs to be first and as we hear from God our faith raises up within us and we declare the thing that God revealed.  Our hope believes that whatever God said will surly soon come to pass.  On the other hand we all can have hopes that are not connected to us hearing from God.  We can hope for a nice summer, hope it doesn't rain tomorrow, or hope to go on vacation.  We can declare these hopes without us hearing an active word from God first.  Thus every good thing is not a God thing even though it's not a bad thing.  Thus for us in the Kingdom of God, faith is required to come first if we want God to work on our behave.  Romans 1:17 "For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”  I pray that everything we have faith for will quickly come to pass.
This is Father's Day Sunday and as much as we should celebrate our earthly dads I believe our Father which art in Heaven is also worthy of our praise.  As we honour God on this Father's Day may His Heavenly love be poured out upon all of us.  Get ready, get ready, get ready for sharing the word of the Lord with us will be Doctor Emanuel a faithful member from our congregation.  I know that Emanuel is a great dad to his children and he will have many words of wisdom that come from his relationship with the Lord.
Coming up on July 3rd we will have with us Pastor Ted Yuke from the Rock Church in Lower Sackville.  Ted has been a spiritual overseer for me and our church from the very beginning.  When I have had questions that I didn't know the answer to I would call Pastor Ted for some advice.  Ted is no longer the senior pastor at Rock Church but is being used around the world to encourage the Body of Christ.

Hope you are having a blessed day.  I have always felt that a healthy home and a healthy church require the same things.  Family verses Church.  When a group of people come together who are seeking the purposes of God we could call it family or church.  Keeping together is a process where we learn to love each other for who they are.  Working together happens as we learn to lean on each other to fulfill His purposes.  Staying together is called unity and it will require maturity on the part of each member.  2 Corinthians 4: 16-17 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
Get ready, get ready, get ready as we are having another great Family Sunday!  We start @10:15 with food and fellowship followed by the morning service.  With us will be the Lumber River Quartet to share their gift in music.  I will also be sharing, 'Prepared for Success.'  Success is a prepared place and we can't just want success but we must be prepared for success.  Don't forget to bring some food and invite a friend.
An update; We have had yet another delay in our endeavor to purchase the former St. Anthony  Daniel church.  It seems our requirement for enough parking is the problem.  We made this item very clear in the beginning that not enough parking would be for us a deal breaker and it seemed to be clearly understood.  Since then there have been other interest within their organization about the use of the property that have come into play.  We don't feel that anyone has done anything wrong or misleading but all the information about the internal plans they had for the land were not clear and it took this process to find these things out.  We do feel that God will in the next few weeks either open the door and we will proceed with joy or with joy we will move on to something else that the Lord has for us.  Our God is bigger than anything that we can or cannot see.  James 1:2-4 "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.  But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."

Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."  It's interesting how the promises of God can be applied to all of us, regardless of our circumstances.  The revelation of His Word is that it's been written to help us, lead us and guide us as His children.  As long as there are any of His children on the earth His promises are yes and amen to those that believe.  The battle to walk in peace is not found in believing that God can help, but the victory is discovered when we truly believe God will help us no matter what!  May the Prince of Peace walk with you today.
This Sunday morning I'll be sharing, 'Do You Have A License?' It's hard to stop doing something wrong when you feel that you have a license to do it.  I'm a police officer so I can speed if I want to.  I was hurt as a child so I can be in a rage if I want to.  What's in your wallet?   
Next Sunday is.... get ready get ready get ready FAMILY SUNDAY.  We start @10:15 with food and fellowship followed by the morning service.  Bring some food and invite some friends.  We will also have with us on Family Sunday 'the Lumber River Quartet.'  And yes this year there will be four of them singing.

Good morning to all the faithful.  Have you ever met someone who was having a bad day?  They were under a cloud and it had been raining.  I think Noah and his family knew what it was to have a rainy day but when it ended God sent a rainbow as a sign that the rain was over and a great change had taken place.  Ezekiel the Prophet heard from God after he was reminded about the rainbow.  Ezekiel 1:28 "Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking."  When you meet people who are under a cloud could it be that God has brought you to them for you to be their rainbow?  Could it be that you are their breath of fresh air and God uses you to make them feel that the sun, His Son, is breaking through?  I believe that God does this all the time so may you brighten and give hope to everyone you meet today.
This Sunday I'll be sharing on, 'I Can See Clearly Now.'  When I look back at where I've been I can see clearly that God has always been with me.  I can see that all that I know has been deposited in me along the way.  Invite a friend to hear a revelation from Heaven.
