Responsibility

10/28/2018

God has given us some responsibilities, but not for us to do with our own power - He supplies everything we need. Pastor Dwayne Trelenberg brought the message.
New on the worship team was Maureen with her ukulele, Sonja was leading again and Marge and Steve provided their very faithful parts and excellent hearts. Photos below also show their practice session - it takes time and commitment to prepare for every Sunday. Thanks!

Matthew 13:44-46 44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
Romans 10:14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? NIV
2 Corinthians 5:20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. NIV
Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ...
Acts 1:8 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." NIV
2 Peter 1:4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. NIV

On Sunday we had an amazing worship time. We broke away from our traditional way of doing it with song leaders and musicians; and instead we just sang along with some youtube worship videos. The joy was so infectious! It is fun to glorify God with other believers.
The message was brought by Georgina, building on last week's words from Terry Friesen. Please listen and be excited about what God wants to do in Keremeos and our individual lives. Some of the songs were: "God is on the move", "Rescuer" and an amazing skit while listening to "Good, good Father".

Genesis 8:22 "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." NIV
Ecclesiastes 3:1,11 NIV 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
Job 23:3 If only I knew where to find him; if only I could go to his dwelling! NIV
John 1:45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote -- Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." NIV
Isaiah 11:1-2 1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. 2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him - the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD
Acts 3:18-19 18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer. 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
Malachi 3:1 "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty.
Luke 2:11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. NIV
Psalms 5:3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. NIV

Terry Friesen brought a VERY refreshing word from God - about His plans for Keremeos. We are expecting to see His power much more abundantly working in our lives and town. Are you now busy preparing your heart and soul to be ready for Jesus?
The prophetic word brought be Diane (at the start of the recording) confirmed Terry's message so strongly. It is a joy to listen to this message!

Matthew 13:24 Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. 25 But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. 26 When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew.
27“The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’
28“‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed.
“‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked.
29“‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.’”
...
36 Then, leaving the crowds outside, Jesus went into the house. His disciples said, “Please explain to us the story of the weeds in the field.”
37 Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one. 39 The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels.
40 “Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!

Due to technical problems there was no recording - sorry. The message was brought by Ferdi on how much God loves us and how to grow in love. It is contrasted to religion as a man made form of worship.
Ferdi told the story of dr. Mukwege from the Congo who received the Nobel Peace prize this week for his loving sacrificial work.
Another testimony was from Samira who was born in a Muslim family in the Netherlands and she had an amazing journey getting to know Jesus without and church/religious color added to His image. You can watch her testimony here.
Lots of produce from the harvests were presented to pastor Dwayne and Georgina to thank them for their hard work and love thru the year.

Philippians 1:6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. NIV
Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
John 15:12-13 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. NIV
John 15:15 I no longer call you servants, ... Instead, I have called you friends
John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-- ...
John 16:13 when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
John 14:23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
