Idea!

I would like to begin introducing people on the Blog... aka.... email.  I'm guessing 98% of our PCF family is getting the blog ....aka....email so, what if I start introducing people here?  This is what I am thinking.

You send me a digital photo of yourself or if married a photo of both of you along with your name, birthdate...so we can sing to you at church... and answer the following questions;

1.) Your hobby or passion
2.) Favorite music
3.) Favorite book...other than the bible.
4.) In what town and state did you grow up.
5.) Name three things on your bucket list.

That's it. It gives us a taste of who you are and anyone who wants to get to know you better can talk to you at church.  You can send the digital photo and answers to the questions to my email:
bon-kens@hotmail.com.

Something to think about

John 10:27

²⁷ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

Praise Community Fellowship, we are seeking to know His voice and willing to follow.  Great things on the horizon.  Keep walking, praying and following.

Love, Pastor Kent

Monday Morning Review

Last nights sermon take away:

John 5:39-40

³⁹ You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. ⁴⁰ But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

The Pharisees could not accept who Jesus was claiming to be even though they had spent a lifetime reading and studying the scriptures and knew that it was Gods plan to send a savior into the world.

I am convinced that God is also showing up in all of our lives regularly, but that we too are often missing Him. Why?  Because we, just like the Pharisees, are focused on what "we" expect God to do, or to be. We are still living by sight and by experience and think we know the truth of our situations.
Never accept the truth of a situation until God has spoken. Only then can we proceed with confidence the we are acting in Gods will.

The key word is surrender,  reaching a point in your relationship with God that you can completely trust Him with every aspect of your life.  A point when you will be able to clearly recognize His voice and His promptings and are willing to surrender all of your will, wants, and desires to His plans even if they seem impossible.  

When you get tired of swimming up stream, and there is no where else to turn, try surrendering to Him. Because as Jesus taught us, He is the Way, The Truth and The Life.  If you want an exciting and fulfilling life, try God!

TONIGHT  at GLIK PARK 6:30 PM :  Everyone is invited to a gathering and prayer meeting put together by Jennifer Kaburik to seek Gods blessing and guidance for RTP ministry this season.  All are welcome.

Stay tuned for much much more!   Love, Pastor Kent

Great News Sunday!

Tomorrow, Sunday evening, July14 we are going to celebrate.

Celebrate what you might ask?  
The reality of God moving amongst us and answering prayer.

Faith is bolstered by experiencing God. Tomorrow evening I am going to tell you some wonderful things that have been transpiring.  I will be sharing how our church is going to be starting some fun, inspiring programs on some of the "off Sundays."

I am going to take you on a journey with some scripture that I know will inspire you to celebrate and worship with a whole new dimension to your spiritual growth.

I hope you will join us for an uplifting evening of music, worship, prayer and Communion.

There is a great scripture in Acts:

Acts 9:17-18

¹⁷ Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” ¹⁸ Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,

Come and have your scales removed tomorrow.  Let the love of God flood your hearts and recieve the peace of God!  

See you tomorrow!  6:30!   PM    Esic Church  Great Music, Great Fellowship, Love, Forgiveness, and the Power Of the Holy Spirit!  It doesn't get any better than that!   Love Pastor Kent

Two Ways To Experience Your Day

There are essentially two ways to experience life. We can adjust our life's focus and activities to achieve God's purposes or our own. It's really that simple. And because it comes down to that choice, many choose to be passive or ineffective Christians.  It is a choice.  Everyday you wake up you have to decide if following God's agenda is going to be more important than following your own agenda.

So what does that mean?
It means that a Christians daily walk always is focused on honoring, pleasing, and worshipping God.  And we do that by making adjustments to our thinking, our words, and our actions.  So here is a great question to ask yourself:

Can people get to know Jesus by observing your life?

Here is this weeks scripture for our Jesus Experiment Week 5.

Matthew 11:29

²⁹ 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.

This Sunday, July 14th, 6:30 PM  we will meet for some very uplifting music provided by the "Treble Makers" I hope you can join us, it will be a Communion Sunday.

Looking forward to seeing you then.   Love, Pastor Kent

Still no phone but I think I will be back in service by noon today.  

Finding Kent

Yesterday about 2:00PM  my cell phone stopped working.  It is still not fixed.  So, if you have texted me or tried to call me on my cell since that time I have not received the message.

If you need to contact me, either email me at bon-kens@hotmail.com or call me on my home phone at 656-8632.  Leave a message if I do not pick up and I will get back to you.

I will let you know when I get my cell phone working.  

In the mean time, fill your life with love and gratitude!  Sincerely, Pastor Kent

Correction

In my post "The #1 problem for most Christians" I said I would see you this coming Sunday at 6:00PM... WRONG    The correct time is 6:30 PM.

So our next service, which will be a communion service, will be held at 6:30 Pm Sunday July 14th.  That's this next Sunday at Esic Baptist church.  OK then, now that that's all cleared up.

See you then, Love Pastor Kent

I need help/ suggestions

It has come to my attention that we have a couple of people in our church...exact number unknown..who are not on computers and are not receiving any of the information I send out each week.  

Any suggestions on how we can help these folks?  I don't think telling them to get a computer is the answer so lets try something other than that.  I'm open for suggestions.   Sincerely, Pastor Kent
