It was interesting to hear someone say to me that they didn't have a lot of rocks in their life that they had to get over.  Rocks like childhood abuse, or hurt, addiction, betrayal, divorce, worry, fear, and despair.  I wonder, how many rocks are in your way that hinder you from having a great day?  How many rocks from your past still appear on the road before you?  Philippians 3:13-14 "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgettingthose things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."  There are things and times when we have to allow the Lord to handle the rocks.  We can't remove them on our own and we can't hide them or ignore them but we can release them to Jesus and He can guide us and lead us away from the rocks and into a highway that is higher than the road of our past.  With the rocks fading out of sight and a brighter future appearing on the horizon, your best days.... are yet to come.  Have a super day today.

This Sunday is our Family Sunday so we'll get things started at 10:15 with food and fellowship followed by the morning service.  This is a great service to bring some food and invite a friend.  I will be sharing on, 'What Makes You?'  You are who you are but how do you become who God intended you to be?  It's a journey of a lifetime.  We will also be sharing Communion and there is no evening service on Family Sunday. 

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

We all need to plan each day to be who you want to become.  Each day is filled with different decisions that offer different directions that lead us to different places.  It's good to know before you start the day where you want to be by the end of the day.  Psalm 113:3 "From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord’s name is to be praised." If we start the day in praise and end the day in praise we have had a good day.  May each new day be a day overflowing with the blessing of God for you and your family.

The Ladies Conference starts tonight at the Sydney Pentecostal Church.  This Sunday in the morning service Pastor Mark will be sharing the Word of the Lord and in the evening Evangelist Eileen Mills who is the guest speaker at the Ladies Conference will be bringing the Word.  It's going to be a great Sunday in the house of the Lord.

Next Wednesday evening at 7 is an hour of prayer with the other churches in our community.  It's at the Spanish River community center.  Come to rejoice, pray, and believe for a mighty move of God.  Next Sunday is our Family Sunday and it's going to be good. 

Continue to pray for all those in need of a miracle.  Lots of love, looking forward to seeing you, Pastor Kevin and Alice

It's great to start everyday with the Lord as a brand new day.  Lamentations 3:22-23 "Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning." Psalm 113:3 "From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord’s name is to be praised."  Psalm 69:19 Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah."  

To arise every day and know that it's a new day and that the Lord can do something great today in the land of the living.  Yesterday is passed beyond our ability to change it, tomorrow will arrive packed with its own needs but today is the now and our God loves to move in the now.  I pray that this day, today, right now will be a wonderful day for you and your family.

This Sunday morning I'll be sharing on, 'I Saw The Lord.'  Everything changes when you see the Lord for who He really is for in that moment He reveals to you who you really are.  Sunday evening, 'Moving Forward.'  If Jesus is still building His Church then He has not completed His Church yet so we as members together are always advancing to the next stage of the building project.  Working as it were till the job is done and the trumpet sounds or the whistle blows.

Coming up on Wednesday April 29 at 7 there will be an hour of prayer at the Spanish River Hall.  We are inviting other churches to join with us to work together that we will stir our hearts to be able to walk in a higher level of Christian unity.

What a wonderful Easter weekend it's been as we have been enjoying the different events.  The Men's Breakfast was top notch and Martin and all the workers did a great job feeding and making everyone feel welcome.  Tomorrow morning is Easter and Family Sunday so we start at 10:15 with food and fellowship.  Everyone bring something good to eat for all of us to enjoy.  At the Men's Breakfast Pastor Cyril gave an outstanding message on 'I Need Your Donkey.'  I am sure that his message tomorrow morning will stir us all up to do greater things for the Kingdom of God.  There is no evening service on Family Sunday.  Alice and I will be away next week visiting family.  Continue to pray for all those in need.  Looking forward to seeing you in the morning, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

Palm Sunday is here.  It's the time in history when Jesus the Son of God rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and the crowds cheered and waved palm branches.  When I looked at this event I always had a question; how do normal people bow down, wave, and worship and a few days later cry out crucify, crucify?  It never sat right in my mind as a normal story.  Something was missing, either the first part was wrong or the second part was wrong.  Maybe it's two different crowds or two different cities.  I have learned over the years that when I have a question, just hold steady and the Lord will answer when I am ready to hear the answer.  One day the Holy Spirit said this story happened as it happened but it seems strange because of the hearts of the people involved were hidden in the waving but reveled in Pilate's courtroom.  Their motive to worship was to receive an earthly king hoping He would assume an earthly kingdom.  When that didn't happen their true words were spoken and their heart revealed.  The caution for us is to be careful who applauds us and make sure that their applause lines up with the motives that are in our heart.     

This Sunday morning I'll be sharing with you about, 'The Donkey.'  Why did Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a lowly beast of burden?  Sunday evening Pastor Mark will be sharing with us.  Mark always shares with us a revelation from the Lord.  Invite a friend to join you.

Next Friday is Good Friday and we'll be joining with Bethel Pentecostal Church in Glace Bay.  This is a great time to show Christian unity in the Community as we join with other believers.  Saturday morning @ 8:30 am is the Men's Breakfast at the Salvation Army Church in Sydney.  If you are a student at the CBU and you need a drive call Martin 902-539-5355 and he will look after you.  Our guest speaker is Pastor Cyril Rogers from Corner Brook Newfoundland.  Then it's Easter Sunday and it's also Family Sunday so we start at 10:15 will food and fellowship followed by the morning service. Pastor Cyril will be our speaker.  We end the service with Communion and there is no evening service on Family Sunday.  The food we share is the good food that you bring so bring lots and let's have a wonderful time together.

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

It's here, the first day of spring according to the calendar has arrived.  If you look outside it still looks a lot like winter.  I guess we need to ask God to update His Face Book Page or could all this snow be a lesson in faith.  The truth is Spring 2015 has come and the season has changed even if our circumstances haven't.  The outward appearance may look a lot like last season hasn't left yet but the inward truth declares it's changed and it won't be long before the truth turns the grass green and we hear birds singing.  Serving God is often like this, His Spirit informs us that it's a new day, season's have changed, the way it was is not the way it shall be and we look around and nothing has changed yet.  Faith is the inward voice that believes that change is coming to your house and you start to prepare for what's coming rather than complaining about what is.  Exercise your faith today and rejoice for in the days ahead the Lord will be doing great things for His people.

This Sunday morning I'll be sharing on, 'The Middle Man.'  We all have to live life but how we view Jesus has everything to do with our success in life.  Sunday evening, 'Hearing From God.'  When we hear something it maybe good but does that make it God?  How do we know it's God when it's God?

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

Praise the Lord, it's a good thing to be standing on the Lord's side.  Psalm 5:12 "For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield."  To have the favor of the Lord upon us is to have doors of opportunity open before us.  There is also a second part of favor and that is to have the Lord encamp around about us to protect us like a shield.  The enemy would have hit you but you found favor in the eyes of the Lord.  The good news is we can often clearly see when doors open before us but we may not be as quick to notice when the enemy's plans have been destroyed before they ever reach us.  I expect the Lord to go before me to open doors that need to be opened and I also expect to walk in His Almighty Divine protection.  This protection means I may have to walk through something but I am walking through.  Favor means I don't have to fear, Yea though I walk through a valley there is a mountain on the other side of this valley with a door of great opportunity for me.  Today, lift up your head as you walk in the favor of the Lord.

This Sunday Lord willing and weather permitting in the morning I'll be sharing on, "Redeemed what does it mean?" God had a purpose when He redeemed you and brought you into His Kingdom.  We are to serve the Lord, what does that look like?  In the evening, "Hearing From God."  When we hear something it maybe good but it may not be God.  How do we know it's God?

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