The difference between the eyes of a hunter and the eyes of a hiker in the same circumstances lead to the title of this message by pastor Dwayne Trelenberg.  How are you looking at the world around you? To enjoy and appreciate it, or to gain something?

Matthew 13:13-15|NIV 
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'
Acts 4:12|NIV Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
Philippians 2:12|NIV Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed --not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-- 
continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
2 Timothy 3:5|NIV having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
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."
John 14:12|NIV 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.

​​Georgina brought a joyful message that calls us to serve God. Hear about shoes, feet and lamps.
We listened to "Holy Ground" as sung by Charity Gayle. 

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Ephesians 6:15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
Ephesians 6:15 TPT Stand on your feet alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace.
Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
John 13:4-16 Jesus ...
4 got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself.
5 Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. 6 So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.” 8Peter said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.” 9Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.” 10 Jesus said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 “You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. 14 “If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 “For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. 16 “Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

Rita Bear Gray, our guest speaker, brought a refreshing message of hope from her native view point.
Rita has a rich experience of ministering among First Nations of the north and various indigenous tribes.  One can hear about her adventures from her being abandoned up north as a 4-year old, to her current ministry with an emphasis on reconciliation, prayer and intercession. 
She was born on the rez in Sandy Bay, Saskatchewan, got a Catholic education, was saved at 26 in a Baptist church, baptized in a Pentecostal church and later became an ordained minister. 
She ministered in Alaska, the Artic and at various international conferences with people like Jean Stephansen, John Dawson, Peter Wagner, Chuck Pierce, and more. Her travels took her to many countries including the Israeli and Palestinian people where they even spoke at the Knesset.
​You may read her testimony "Abandoned but not forsaken".

​Have you ever thought about what it means to cling to Jesus?
Mike brought the message with the potential to change our life for real.

Hebrews 4:14|NLT 1996 That is why we have a great High Priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God. Let us cling to him and never stop trusting him.
1 Samuel 16:7|NLT But the LORD said to Samuel, "Don't judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
Deuteronomy 10:20|NLT You must fear the LORD your God and worship him and cling to him. Your oaths must be in his name alone.
Joshua 23:8|NLT Rather, cling tightly to the LORD your God as you have done until now.
1 Timothy 1:18|NLT Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord's battles.
Psalm 63:8|NLT I cling to you;  your strong right hand holds me securely.
Galatians 6:15-16|NLT 15  It doesn't matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
16  May God's peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; they are the new people of God.
Romans 12:2|NLT Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Psalms 40:2-3|NIV 2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

What is the difference between "Being Good" versus "Doing Good"?
Pastor Dwayne Trelenberg illustrates how we think we can settle for Being Good.

Romans 5:3-5 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Matthew 20:26|NIV Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
James 2:17|NIV In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
Hebrews 11:6|NIV 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.
Mark 10:45|NIV For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Matthew 8:20|NIV Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
Mark 4:19|NIV but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.  

A very practical message by pastor Dwayne Trelenberg.  We each follow a unique path.
​Just stop a bit and think about things you may have ignored.

Matthew 11:28-29  "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 9:35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
Mark 10:18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone.
Acts 10:38 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.
Matthew 10:42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
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.

Pastor Dwayne thought of 2 titles: "Let's talk about Jesus" & "What is truth?"
He covers both and ends up with the Holy Spirit. There are many things to think about and to apply in your own life.

Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.
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.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

​Today was child dedication for Erik & Joline.
Pastor Dwayne followed up with an encouraging ​message for all parents.

Psalms 127:3 Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.
Joshua 4:21-24
21 He said to the Israelites, "In the future when your descendants ask their fathers, 'What do these stones mean?'
22 tell them, 'Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.'
23 For the LORD your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The LORD your God did to the Jordan just what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over.
24 He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the LORD is powerful and so that you might always fear the LORD your God."

Ferdi brought the message today.  Don't look for the easy comfortable way to be a Christian.  Taking the hard way yields way more fruit.

Hebrews 12:1-7
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.  4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,  6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." 7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 
Philippians 3:12-14
12  I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13  No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,  14  I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27   
​24  Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 25  All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26  So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27  I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

Philippians 4:13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Isaiah 40:29-31 
29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. 
30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.
31 But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength.  They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

To dwell above, with the saints I love, - is blissful glory.
But to dwell below, with the saints I know, - is quite a different story!

Matthew 24:13 (NLT) But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

Tired: Isaiah 40:29-31
Devil: James 4:7 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Obedience: John 14:15 (AMP) If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.
Vision: Hebrews 12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, 3 Consider Him …, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.  

Practice:  Faith –  Pray –  Do good –  Love –  Truth - 

Video: Hebrews 11:1-2; Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; 2 Timothy 4:7

Pastor Dwayne gave the audience a chance to to say what the message's title would have been to them. Some of the answers were:

1. It's your choice
2. What am I doing?
3. Make yourself holy
4. What's in my hand?
5. Make yourself a living sacrifice.

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.  
2 Timothy 2:20-21 NIV
20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble.
21 If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

Hebrews 10:19-20
MSG 19-20 So, friends, we can now — without hesitation — walk right up to God, into “the Holy Place.” Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God. 

TPT 19 And now we are brothers and sisters in God’s family because of the blood of Jesus, and he welcomes us to come into the most holy sanctuary in the heavenly realm — boldly and without hesitation. 

New Living Translation
And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.

Rom. 8:35-37 NIV
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Mike brought the message on God's blessings.
​How do you experience God in your life? (Audio quality is not yet good, sorry.)

"​Blessed to be a blessing" by pastor Dwayne Trelenberg followed by a testimony from Dan and a word from Georgina.
 The question to address is that we often feel "But it is not working"? 
 Dan testified how God provided in his life what is needed to be blessing.

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 

(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.
