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

Well Happy Birthday to Pastor Bruce, may he have a great wonder filled day today.  Birthday's are something we all get to have, I remember growing up and my birthday was at the end of November and our family didn't have much so I never got much for my birthday.  It was my Mom who would give me hope and say, 'Christmas is coming.'  It's strange how a future hope for something better can help to make us endure the disappointment of the present moment.  This is the great truth that is found in the great hope of the gospel.  Psalm 30:5 "... His favour is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."  We may need to go through some stuff but we are going through and not camping out.  Never buy real estate in your wilderness when your property is in the Promise Land.

This Sunday I'll be sharing on, 'I Came To Go Higher.'  I believe that we all want to go higher in God but we don't always understand God's method to bring us higher.  Sunday evening Pastor Mark will be sharing the Word of the Lord.  Pastor Mark is gifted to see people helped, healed, and restored.

Next Sunday April 6th is Family Sunday and 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.

Greetings in the name of the Lord.  On the treadmill this morning as I walked and prayed I was thinking how we look up to God when we pray and down to address the devil.  I remember a preacher saying long ago that looking up or down is really not important because the presence of good and evil is everywhere.  I did understand the preacher's point but there's another point that you miss if you take that point as the only point.  Naturally it's true good and evil is everywhere but spiritually God is high and lifted up and Jesus said that He saw Satan fall as lightning.  The devil is under our feet and we go up into the presence of the Lord.  How you see things in the natural is one thing and how you see things spiritually is another.  I know it's not a big deal which way you see it but when I die I'm planning on going up and not down.  When I pray to the Lord my natural body takes a humble position as my spiritual man looks up to Christ the author and finisher of my faith

This Sunday morning I'll be sharing on, 'A Changed Mind.'  There is likely nothing more life changing that can change who you are as when you change your mind.  The question is, when we are thinking wrong how does God get us to change our mind?  Sunday evening, 'Asking Twice.'  We seem to ask once and if we don't receive we give up.  Question, what would happen if we asked again?  

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