Hope in action

1/16/2022

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.

Messages of Hope

1/9/2022

Pastor Dwayne Trelenberg brought "Messages of Hope".
A splendid opportunity to get away from negative things that keep you down.
Below is also the audio of two prophetic words at the service.

Matthew 16:2-3
2 He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,'
3 and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
1 Chronicles 12:32 men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel should do-200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;
1 John 4:3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
Isaiah 54:1-3
1 "Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband," says the LORD.
2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.
3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
Joel 2:28-29
28 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

Fear and Hope

1/2/2022

Pastor Dwayne Trelenberg's new year message dwells on fear and hope for 2022. There is freedom waiting for us. What happened in the world can not keep you in bondage.
(Sorry, there was no video recording this week.)

Galatians 5:19-23
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
1 Peter 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1 John 4:3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
John 10:10

Global impact: What it means to be a Christian

11/28/2021

Another episode of "What it means to be a Christian" by pastor Dwayne Trelenberg, but this time we also look at the global effect of Christians in addition to personal changes made by the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.

If Jesus came to town

Freedom WTSSFIFI

9/19/2021

For our last outdoor meeting at the rodeo grounds, we had an almost full worship team and reflected on the summer adventure we had here.
Mike brought the lesson (or sermon if you prefer). After being a Christian for many years, Mike experienced a new level of freedom. He shared a bit of his testimony. You can also be set free from things that bind and deceive you.
Jesus promised: "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36
The song near the end is Chris Tomlin - Good Good Father.
and then pastor Dwayne closed the service with a word and a prayer.

This is my first rodeo!

How do we experience these times? Do you get "down" days? Exhausted? God has many answers. Here are a few.

What time is it?

Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship.

Your Great Commission and the Holy Spirit

6/6/2021

We are still meeting outside and in cars at the Keremeos rodeo grounds.

Marge and Terese closed the sermon with a final song at 30 minutes into the recording.

Matthew 28:19-20 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, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
