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.

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

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.

Hi everyone, the Good Friday service in Glace Bay was such a blessing with a full house.  It's always so special to gather with the sense of family, love, and unity.  Coming up tomorrow is our Men's Breakfast @ 8:30 @ the Salvation Army Church in Sydney.  Great music, good food, wonderful friends, and the blessing of a word to men in the 21st century.  Then we have Easter Sunday morning with praise and worship to our risen Saviour.  I'll be sharing on, 'His Power and His Purpose.'  Take your camera and get some pictures.  We have a few special things lined up so don't miss it.  We should be streaming again as we had some computer problems the last 2 weeks.  There will be no evening service this Sunday. 

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

Praise the Lord for His Amazing mercy and grace.  This week I asked a question at Bible study; (about 40 people) on a scale of 1-10 how much does it bother you if someone lies to you?  Almost everyone said 10. I thought afterwards how we are made in the image of God so I wonder how much it bothers God when someone lies to Him.  In the New Testament after Jesus died on the cross and rose again, in the book of Acts, 2 people died on the spot for lying to the Holy Spirit.  In the last chapter of the last book of the Bible.  Revelations 21:6-8 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.  He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.  But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."  I would have to say from scripture that God scores a 10 when it comes to someone lying to Him.  Lying and truth from the same mouth is like muddy water and clear water in the same glass.  As believers we need to be only speaking the truth in love if we want the world to only hear the truth and come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

This Sunday is Palm Sunday and in the morning I'll be sharing on, 'A Difference of Opinion.'  What the Holy Spirit is doing and what we think He's doing maybe different.  Misunderstanding God will always lead us into the weary land of confusion.  Sunday evening, 'Keeping Tabs on Your Talent.'  Everyone has something to offer in making the church whole.  How does your talent fit into the body of Christ?

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

1 Peter 1:3-4 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade."  As believers our hope doesn't came from us attaining better circumstances, a better pay check, or better health but our hope is a living hope in our living Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.  

This is Family Sunday and we begin @ 10:15 with breakfast followed for the morning service.  We will have with us as our special speaker Pastor Bruce Morrison.  Pastor Bruce Pastor's the Christian Fellowship Church in New Glasgow.  Pastor Bruce has a burden for the lost and worked for many years as a missionary to the Labrador coast.  He's on the board of directors for Bridges of Canada a Prison Ministry founded by Monty Lewis.  Pastor Bruce also worked at ground zero in New York City as a volunteer.  Bring some food and some friends and lets enjoy the presence of the Lord together.  There is no evening service on Family Sunday.

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