Mondays Thoughts

Praise Community Fellowship is a name, it is not a place. It is a name that a group of people voted on a couple of years ago. It is a name that is and will be associated with what this group of people represent to the community. Community being people that we (Praise Community Fellowship) impact through our ministry.

Praise Community Fellowship is evolving. We are learning and continue to seek what God wants us to become. I have two bible verses I want all of you to write on your hearts.

Philippians 2:3-4

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

In other words all decisions we make, we being the church, must be made not for ourselves but for the benefit of others. Look at this verse carefully, meditate on it because it contains keys to the Kingdom. We are servants!  When you decide to  become an active Christian, you are expected to be a servant! Christ illustrated this fact over and over with His life.  He said, " 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.” Mark 10:45

The other verse I want us to write on our hearts is: 

Luke 6:27-31

Love for Enemies

27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

More keys to the Kingdom. If you learn to adopt these two verses to your life. Your life is going to change. You will begin to experience blessings of Peace and Joy that only God can provide.

Praise Community Fellowship, a grand experiment in love.
We are looking for people who want a new path for their life. A path that Jesus laid out as a better way to live. There is a change in the wind. I will be telling you more soon.

God has a plan for your life!
Love, pastor Kent
