When Jesus was around 12 years old He was in the Temple amazing the scholars with His teaching. The trouble was He never told His parents where He was going or what He was doing and they went searching for Him. When they found Him He said in Luke 2:49-50 “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them." Jesus said that He was about His Father's business and they did not understand. Not everyone understands those that are in the business of serving the Lord. The Good News business is one where we work together with the Holy Spirit to bring dying people into a living relationship with God. Today, everywhere you go, may you be about your Heavenly Father's business.

Jesus was teaching His disciples about His Father's Kingdom and how it was often very different than the world that was around them. Jesus points out that the Religious leaders would often teach the right stuff but they were not living the right lifestyle. In the world it would be those who had the most servants that were the greatest but Jesus said, "he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Matthew 23:11-12
Being a servant in attitude and action has to remain the main focus in the Kingdom of God. I marvel at those who truly have this servant thinking working in their lives. They do not boast in who they are or what they have but are humble to show honor to others. We are truly a work in progress as we learn humbleness in our journey through the many levels of servant hood. May we please the Lord Jesus with our attitude and actions today.
This Sunday I'll be sharing on, "The Real Action Heroes." Jesus is the light of the world and His light often reveals the areas of our lives where we need to change. The good news is His light only reveals those areas that are possible to change. It's illumination from His Word that brings revelation to our heart that brings transformation to our lives.
Coming up on Saturday April 30th noon till 2pm at the Sherwood Park is a ladies lunch with Evangelist Anita Pierce. She will also be speaking to us on May 1st Family Sunday.

Wasn't last Sunday services great? The morning service was filled with the anointing and presence of the Lord and in the evening 16 people were Baptized. Praise the Lord! At Bible Study we were talking about how to change and become better at living out our faith as we walk with the Lord Jesus. The Bible tells us that we perish for lack of knowledge so we need Knowledge of the Word of God, Knowledge about who we are, and knowledge about those that are around us. Armed with the right information we then need to have the desire to please the Lord and change. After the Bible Study ended it was said, 'change is not painful but it's our resistance to change that's painful.' My parable; if you said something mean a couple of times and the Lord said, 'stop doing that.' You could obey the Lord without much resistance. On the other hand if you were saying something mean every day of your life to everyone you talked to and the Lord said, 'stop doing that.' Your personal resistance to change would be greater and harder for you to accomplish. The truth to change for both is equal but the person's personal resistance will be different. May we all be strengthened in the inner person to lovingly allow His Holy Word to change our world.
This Saturday evening I have been invited to be the guest speaker at the annual Cape Breton Bible Camp Banquet in Millville. It is always an honor to share a revelation from God with other believers.
This Sunday morning I'll be speaking on, 'The Real Life of A Leader.' A real leader is someone who God prepares for leadership before they ever become a leader. Invite a friend to join you in church this Sunday.
In December the church leadership decided due to many circumstances that we should stop having Sunday evening services for 3 months. The circumstances that were in place then haven't changed but we are in the process of having our own church building. Once we are in our new church we will look at our weekly schedule to see how things will work. Thank you for your support for all the things that we do.

When we play games like hockey or baseball there needs to be a home plate or a net to score in. Imagine if there was no home plate or no net, you could endlessly play the game and never have a winner. By never winning there would never be a celebration of victory. As Christians we need to have goals in life or we will endlessly work for the Lord and never have a victory. In the beginning when God was creating things He would say at the end of the day, 'it was good.' It was good as far as He got even if it wasn't finished.
It is a good life to serve the Lord and we should celebrate each day with thanks for the goodness of God. Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." When I think about our salvation I rejoice for Jesus has crossed the home plate and won the victory for all of us. Celebrate your salvation and have a blessed day today.
This Sunday I'll be sharing on, 'Being Fed in The Famine.' The Lord always has spiritual food to satisfy our hungry. No matter what valley we are going through His Word will provide inward strength for all of us. Sunday evening we are having a Water Baptism service. The Faith Baptist church has once again offered us the use of their church to hold our service in. This is always an exciting time for us as we watch people make a step into the water as they obey the scriptures and follow the Lord Jesus.

How long do we keep hoping that something that's been broken can be fixed? King David had a hope that his infant son would not die. He prayed, hoped, cried out to God and then when he was told that the baby was dead he cleaned himself up and moved on. His servants thought David would be worse when he heard the bad news but he said that while the child lived he still hoped but once the child died he dropped the matter and began again. In talking to couples about a broken relationship I have advised them that they need to quickly forgive each other. If they don't the problem may seem impossible to fix and someone will decide it's dead, it's over, there's nothing more I can do and move on. If we want all of our relationships to last a lifetime then forgive those that trespass against you.
Get ready get ready get ready it's Family Sunday and that means we start @10:15 with food and fellowship followed by the morning service. I will be sharing, 'Living At the Next Level.' There are many levels to live life on and the Lord always calls us higher. Get ready to move to a new level of faith as Jesus calls us upward and onward.
Continue to pray for all those in need and continue to pray about the new church building that everything would go smoothly as we move forward. Looking forward to seeing you soon, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice

Praise the Lord for we know the great victory that was won at the Cross. The blood of Jesus paid in full the wages for all of our sin. The song writer penned, 'My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!' It's strange how we view the test of our faith before we see the fulfillment of His promise in our life. Jesus prayed for the cup of what He had to endure to be passed from Him. Have you ever prayed for a problem to go away? Looking back it's been at those crosses that we had to bare that we came to a crossroad and God used the cross to point us towards a new day. Good Friday is not our greatest defeat but alas it's our greatest victory.
Today @10:30 there is a Good Friday service at Bethel Family Church in Glace Bay. Then tomorrow evening @7 is The "Passion of Christ." This will be held under the direction of Mary MacLean and is at our church location, 500 Terrace St. Everyone is welcome and there is no charge.

When we take the time today to repair the mistakes that we made yesterday, we are then prepared to walk successfully into tomorrow. The love and forgiveness that we express to each other is a reflection of the love and forgiveness that we have received from God. When we don't love each other it's a sign that we are not as close to God's love as we should be. James 4:7-8 "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." When we are far away from God it's easy for the devil to bug us. Loving and forgiving others is a natural response for those that are spiritually close to God. If you need to love people more then you need to stay close and not stray away from a closer walk with the Lord. Enjoy the day and keep smiling as goodness and mercy walk by your side.
