(The big excitement today, was KCC's first church meeting ever in a building designed for church.)
Pastor Dwayne continues the message on "Stand". Stand doesn't only mean the bold moves for the Kingdom. Jesus is portrayed both as a lion and as a lamb. How do you make a stand for Jesus with the lamb characteristics? Jesus set the example as a servant that is bold and costly. Be that servant!
Revelation 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."
John 1:29|NIV The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! Ephesians 5:27|NIV and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. Romans 12:1|NIV Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Matthew 20:26-27|NIV 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-- Matthew 5:13-14|NIV 13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Acts 10:38|NIV how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
Today we had a deep time of worship (led by Andrea) focusing only on Jesus.
Pastor Dwayne's message is a challenge to STAND in the authority that Jesus has already given. He starts with a practical example, teaches us from a hunter's perspective and mentions some of the camouflaged traps the enemy has set for you. Be awake and ready, then you can stand against any attacks against you.
Ephesians 6:10-18
1 Corinthians 14:14-15 1 Peter 5:8-9 Romans 8:37
This week's message follows up on last week's message by Terry Friesen.
Do you want to wait for a revival to happen, or are you ready to be a one person revival? Discover what need to change in our thinking and expectation to be that revival.
Pastor Dwayne shares some perspectives on fatherhood. We look at how previous generations and current culture affects our fathers and us. Ferdi looks at God's plan for you to change a negative vicious circle into a growth point in your life. Practical steps that can change how you experience God.
Human nature, politics, religion, personality - are all things that influence what we believe and how we live out our faith.
There are many differences because we are not all the same, but the truth from Jesus Christ is still the same. Here is a chance to open your life for the real deal!
Jesus is still the same, but the "Real Deal" is that He sent the Holy Spirit to be with us for ever.
What of all those wonderful promises of experiencing the glory of God and heaven are real now before we go to heaven?
Pastor Dwayne mentions 3 platforms or places where we can experience the presence of God. (Homework: 1 Corinthians 2:8-14 and Luke 4:13-18)
Pastor Dwayne sets the record straight on how (un)important it is to attend church meetings. God has given us instructions, and it pays to follow them. Entering into the presence of God and letting God speak to you is one of the best things to experience.
(Homework: 2 Samuel 6 - the story of Uzzah told in the recoding at 15:30)
Malachi 3:6 "I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.
Hebrews 13:8|NIV Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Psalms 84:10|NIV Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. Psalms 84:10|TPT For just one day of intimacy with you is like a thousand days of joy rolled into one! I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, ready to go in and worship my God, than to live my life without you in the most beautiful palace of the wicked. 2 Samuel 6:2-6|NIV 2 He and all his men set out from Baalah of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, the name of the LORD Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on the ark. 3 They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart 4 with the ark of God on it, and Ahio was walking in front of it. 5 David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might before the LORD, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals. 6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. Acts 1:8|NIV But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Our culture is under attack, and in turn the church is under attack. But it has been for the last 2,000 years. Listen how pastor Dwayne illustrates the effect of pouring out of the Holy Spirit and that our fight is to listen to God.
Learn more about "where two or three come together in my Name" and "they were all with one accord in one place". Pastor Dwayne Trelenberg looked at the practical life for Christians with the emphasis on getting together in unity.
Everyone receives good seed from the Word.
What makes the difference in how much fruit I bear? Marina looks anew at the Parable of the Seed Sower and the way God worked with Gideon's fears and doubts. The message is followed by partaking in the Communion. You are invited to get something to eat and drink; and join us celebrating the Lord's Supper. This playlist will add two kids' scripture video clips on The Sower (3 minutes) and Gideon (2 minutes) at the end. Parable of the Sower - Matthew 13:1–23, Mark 4:1–20, Luke 8:4–15 Gideon - Judges 6:1-40, Judges 7:1-25
You are a being, and then there is your doing. Pastor Dwayne looks at how our human nature affects our doing in contrast to our being.
Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you. John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
"What do you want out of life?" is one of the questions pastor Dwayne addressed in this message.
Mike Anderson brought the message: You do have faith. You believe in Jesus.
But what exactly is this faith? How can you do more with your faith? The song we listened to is "I speak JESUS" by Charity Gayle with Steven Musso
Philippians 4:4-9
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. 2 Samuel 12:19-20|NIV 19 David noticed that his servants were whispering among themselves and he realized the child was dead. "Is the child dead?" he asked. "Yes," they replied, "he is dead." 20 Then David got up from the ground. After he had washed, put on lotions and changed his clothes, he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they served him food, and he ate.
There are so many voices calling Christians to "do this" or "do that".
How do we distinguish which are the true calls, and which false? Pastor Dwayne touches on the pandemic, freedom calls and the war in Europe. Clarity comes from what Jesus told us about these times.
Do Something!
There is a lot to complain about. A lot is happening that tries to take our eyes off the real goal. Get a better perspective on what is happening in your world and what God wants to do thru you. Look for God's calling on your life.
Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast.
Matthew 5:14|NIV You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7|NIV
Love asks for action. Geoff Quaedvlieg motivated us to move deeply into relationships. He also shared his testimony of how his life was turned around.
We worshiped with the song “I Speak Jesus” https://youtu.be/PcmqSfr1ENY
Psalm 42:7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
Ephesians 3:18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. John 15:12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 13:34-35 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 17:21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
With the trucker's freedom convoy in the news, pastor Dwayne looks at the state of Canada and the role the church is supposed to play.

Pastor Justin Manzey from Chilliwack came to minister to us.
At the evening service he explained hurts and wounds that we may be carrying like a bag of garbage, and how to be set free. He was assisted by Geoff Mader.
Hope asks for action. We look at the relationships and testimonies of early Christians in the New Testament. What can we learn from them and apply in our own lives?
We worshiped with the video “I Speak Jesus” lead by Charity Gayle.
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 7:28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this. Ephesians 2:19-20 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. Romans 16:1-7 1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea. 2 I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many people, including me. 3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus. 4 They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them. 5 Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia. 6 Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you. 7 Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was. Philippians 2:19-30 19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him, who takes a genuine interest in your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel. 23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. 24 And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon. 25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. 26 For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. 29 Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him, 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for the help you could not give me. |
