Praise the Lord as we head into another weekend.  It’s hard to believe that we missed two Sunday morning services in a row due to weather.  The Lord willing we will be together again real soon.  There is a story in the Bible of a woman who poured a bottle on perfumed oil over Jesus.  The perfume was expensive, a year’s wages.  Today even at minimum wage it would be worth $20,000.  It wasn’t that she did this act by accident or mistake but rather it was a planned deliberate action.  She waited for the right moment and then poured out the perfume declaring her great love for Jesus.  Some people don’t understand great love, love that knows no limits, love that doesn’t count the cost but must declare itself, love that can withstand rejection or misunderstanding, like the love that God had for you when He sent Jesus.  ‘Oh the love that drew Salvation’s plan, Oh the love that brought it down to man, Oh the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary.’  May you plan today to declare your great love for Jesus to your world.

This Sunday morning I’ll be sharing on, ‘Unhealthy Relationships.’  It’s often the result of living in an unhealthy environment that creates unhealthy relationships.  God made a proper environment for everything in creation to grow to its full potential.  The Holy Spirit has given me some secrets to success that you won’t want to miss.  Sunday evening Pastor Mark will be sharing and this will be a great service for you to invite any unsaved friends.  It’s time to believe for a miracle. 

Continue to pray for those in need.  Looking forward to Sunday where we can pour out our love for God together.  Lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

Praise the Lord.  John 12:24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.”  The seed all by itself has the potential to become greater than what you see and the ground has the power to produce something greater from the seeds of your potential.  If the owner of the seed or the holder of the potential refuses to submit to the ground that would empower them then the seed remains a seed even though it’s full of potential.  Have you ever seen someone who was full of potential but refused to submit to the ground of authority that was in their life to empower them?  They could have been a great leader but they refused to submit to the other leaders that were in their life.  They could have been a great Christian but they refused to submit to the power of the Holy Spirit.  Romans 13:1 “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”  I believe that in you God has placed the seeds of great potential and as you fall into the good ground of God’s word and become grounded and rooted in Christ you shall produce 30, 60, and 100 times more than that which you started with.  Thank God for God.  Psalm 92:13 “Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.”  Allow yourself to be planted in His house and God will empower your potential to bring increase into the courts of your life. 

This Sunday the Lord willing we will be back at church.  Missing last Sunday because of the weather buts a greater desire in my heart to get together with God and like believers.  Two weeks ago three people had accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and I spoke with one of them this past week.  He said in the service he felt an overwhelming love in the room and tears of joy that ran down his face and the gladness in his heart was wonderful.  It’s great to hear the report of God’s amazing grace at work.

In the morning I’ll be sharing on, ‘Hidden Treasure.’  The Bible tells us that God has hidden treasure around us but I am afraid that we often overlook where He hid it.  Sunday evening, ‘Bones In Your Closet.’  Bones by themselves have no power but you can empower bones to bless you or empower bones to hurt you.  What have you been doing with your bones? 

Continue to pray for those in need as you continue to do what you can do to help others.  I’m really looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

Hello and praise the Lord for another glorious day.  There is an interesting story in the Bible how Jesus and His disciples came across a blind man and how the disciples asked Jesus a question.  ‘Who sinned, this man or his parents?’  They gave Jesus an interesting question with the two most common answers.  Jesus said that neither one of their answers were correct.  It shows us that when the world limits our circumstances to two choices, our God has other ways to set us free.  Jesus said that this blindness was to reveal the power of God.  What?  Who wants to be blind to reveal the power of God?  I don’t see a long line forming.  Jesus spits on the ground and puts the mud on the blind man’s eyes and his sight is restored.  We see many pictures of Jesus but I don’t recall seeing any pictures of Jesus spitting.  We tell our children not to be spitting but Jesus spit. So often we look at these stories and don’t understand what the Lord is saying.  Think about it today, you may not have all the answers and His answer may not be the one that you want to hear.  Jesus is preparing us for our future so we can’t determine all that is ahead of us based on all that is behind us.  Look up and expect freshness from our Lord.

This Sunday morning, the Lord willing and weather permitting, I’ll be sharing on, ‘Hidden Treasure.’  The Bible tells us that God has hidden treasure around us but I am afraid that we often overlook where He hid it.  Sunday evening, ‘Bones In Your Closet.’  Bones by themselves have no power but you can empower bones to bless you or empower bones to hurt you.  What have you been doing with your bones? 

Continue to pray for those in need.  Hope to see you on Sunday, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

God is good and He is good all the time.  The trouble is, even when we are doing our best we can run into people who aren’t.  We are faced with bad situations which can lead us into feeling disappointed.  Jesus was out doing good, teaching about His loving Father’s Kingdom when religious leaders took a woman to Him who had been cheating on her husband.  The religious leaders said, ‘the law says to stone her, what do you say Jesus.’  They want to get Jesus caught up in their drama and the accusers were hoping to trick Jesus into saying something wrong.  If He says to stone her He shows no compassion and if He says let her go He breaks the law.  Have you even been caught up in some drama?  Jesus looks at them with eyes that spoke, ‘I guess you fellows have never made a mistake?’  Then in front of them He writes some things in the sand.  As He wrote No one spoke in their defense over what He wrote but they just quietly walked away.  He looks at the woman and says that He will not condemn her but adds some good advice, ‘go and sin no more.’  I guess we all can run into people that are less than perfect but remember not to condemn them when you have the power to cover them.  Jesus was able to find the middle ground where He was able to reveal His Father’s love.

This is Family Sunday and I hope that you are preparing some good food to bring and have invited a few friends to come to church with you.  I have watched over the last while how the Holy Spirit has used this event to bless and move in our midst.  It’s wonderful to hear how so many people are seeing visions, receiving healings, and being touched by the anointing in our Family Sunday service.   It all starts @10:15 for the food and fellowship followed by the morning service and ending with communion, come expecting a miracle.  There is no evening service on Family Sunday.

Blessings and honor come from the Lord.  Proverbs 10:22 “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” The true riches that come from the Lord cover every area of our life, spiritual the gifts of the Spirit, mentally a sound mind, emotionally the fruit of the Spirit, and physically our daily bread.  The Proverb is saying that all the things that come as a provision from the hand of the Lord have no sorrow attached to them.  Too often the things of this world have strings and vises within them that leak poison into our lives.  Like the Trojan horse what was received as a gift looked great on the outside but it had the enemy laying in wait on the inside.  This year we lift up our eyes, looking for the Lord’s favor that is full of love, joy, and peace in the Holy Ghost.  Yes lift up your head today for you are a child of the Most High God and He has made plans to bless you.  

This Sunday morning I’ll be sharing on, ‘Level’s Of Relationship.’  Everything that happens, happens because of the relationships that we have in our life.  You treat one person a certain way because of the relationship that you have with that person.  Someone else is treated differently because you have a different relationship with that person.  Where we often make mistakes is when we think that we are at one level of relationship with a person but discover that they are at a totally different level of relationship with us.  Sunday evening Pastor Mark will be giving us some powerful revelation concerning the word of God.  I always look forward to hearing Pastor Mark share with us so come on out and bring a friend.

Next Sunday Feb 3^rd is Family Sunday and we love Family Sunday.  It’s a God idea that He has been blessing us with a strong anointing of His Holy Spirit.  We start at 10:15 with some breakfast food and people get to fellowship with one another.  We then move into our morning service ending with Communion.  We ask that our church folks bring food and friends to this service.  There is no evening service on Family Sunday.

Continue to pray for all those in need, we have been seeing many great miracles right in the midst of our praise and worship.  Waiting to see you this Sunday, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

Praise the Lord for He is good.  Jesus not only saves us but He wants to live in us and be the Lord over us.  In order for that to happen we are required to make room for Him to dwell in us.  When I got saved I repented and I became empty of me and wanted to fill me with all of Him.  Colossians 1:27 “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”   We can have an open heart but it’s full of all that we have and all that we’ve done.  We need both an open empty heart and a heart that has room for the glory of the Lord.  We may want more of Jesus but have we made room for more of Jesus to live in us?  Man looks of the outward appearance of who we are but God looks at the heart.  Jesus made room at the cross for you but have you made room in your life for Him?  Ask the Lord today to pour Himself into you as you make room for Him.   

This Sunday morning I’ll be sharing on, ‘Living Beyond Regret.’  It is so easy to live in the regret of yesterday and to be held as a prisoner of past mistakes.  When we understand the answer to freedom we can live beyond our mistakes and walk in victory.  In the evening Pastor Bruce will be sharing the word.  "The Delta Dawn/Miss Havisham Syndrome."  Traumatic events that happen in our past can have lasting, crippling and devastating effects on our lives if we are not able to move on.  Delta Dawn had been jilted by a lover who promised marriage and she spent her life trying to relive the past hoping to recapture the lost promise.  Miss Havisham, jilted by her groom-to-be just shortly before her wedding became stuck in time and developed a vengeful hatred toward men that seemed to know no bounds until near the end of her wasted life.  Paul says to forget the past for a reason -- it is healthy and allows us to move forward into what God has for us today and tomorrow!

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

Praise the Lord Jesus as He rules over us, He that rules over us is full of mercy and grace.  2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”  There is a loyalty from those who walk in God’s Kingdom and to His church that the eye of the Lord notices.  It’s easy to be loyal to your own cause and your own opinion but it takes faith to be loyal to His cause.  I was praying about this this morning and the idea of being loyal to God.  What came to mind was it’s like a police officer is a part of a team (The Police Department) that works together to keep order.  If you met someone and they said that they were a police officer, and you asked, ‘what department are you with?’  If they said, ‘Oh I am not with any department, all the police departments in Canada don’t see things my way so I am my own police department.  I enforce whatever I believe is proper order.’  What would you think about this person?  The police officer that is loyal to their department even when they don’t always agree or even when someone in the department messes up, they are those that are mature and loyal.  To the loyal officers who work to keep order we show them respect and honor and the Bible is saying that the Lord shows Himself strong on behalf of those that are loyal to Him.  In this New Year, lets continue to be faithful to all that we put our hand to do.

This Sunday morning I’ll be sharing on, ‘Don’t Grow Weary.’  This is another step into the New Year as we do good let’s not grow weary.  Weariness has a lot of problems that can overwhelm us so we must press on to do good and having done all keep standing in good.  Sunday evening we will be having a wedding as a part of the service.  I will be sharing on, ‘The Power Of Covenant.’  It’s in a Godly covenant that we receive the power for the two become one.       

Continue to pray for all those in need.  The New Year has released new opportunities and with them come new attacks from our enemy.  We shall boldly declare that great things are coming our way for this is our hour, lots of love, looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, Pastor Kevin and Alice
