“In the
last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is
these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you,
beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy
Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord
Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt;
save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear,
hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

                                                                            Jude 1:18-23

 

Greetings beloved in God the Father.  Jude was eager to write to the early Christians,
to appeal to them to contend for the faith and to warn them about false prophets
and scoffers.
  His words are just as
urgent today – be on your guard!
  Keep digging
deeper into Scripture, keep on praying, be merciful on doubt and be ready and
willing to help those who are faltering.

 

Blessings,

Mark

“Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that
cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with
reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire”.
Hebrews 12:28-29

Greetings Church Family

By grace through faith in the precious blood of Jesus
Christ, we have obtained access into the kingdom of God. We have been saved
from the just penalty of our sin, and we have been reconciled to the Father through the
Son. Because of this, as the author of Hebrews writes, “let us offer to God
acceptable worship”.

Gathering together this morning, let us consider the saving
work of God in our lives and may this compel us to worship Him with
thankfulness, reverence and awe. God gave Himself up for us, may we willingly offer ourselves back to Him in worship. Worshipping God is the result of salvation.

In Christ Alone

Matthew

Welcome – 01 May 2022

I lift up my eyes to the
hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made
heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not
slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD
is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not
strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life. The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.

Psa 121:1-8

 

Greetings fellow saints of the Lord Most High.  If you have had a week anything like mine –
you’ve been busy!  No matter how busy, or
how difficult your week has been, do not forget Who sustains you.  Ensure that you spend time in the Word and in
prayer every single day. 

Blessings,

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,whose sin is covered. 
Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah –
Psalms 32:1-5
Reflecting back on Easter weekend, we stand in the grace of God, Blessed! Knowing the cost of our sin has been paid for.
Let us ponder how that blessing extends even further. The Psalmist writes, “When I kept silent…Your hand was heavy upon me”.
By Grace through faith in JesusChrist, we are adopted children of God. And as His children, He will discipline us, bringing us to confess our transgressions. 
Everytime we are brought to our knees to confess, God reminds us of His love for us. He Demonstrated it on the cross. 
Let us lift up our praises to our loving, merciful and gracious Father in heaven

Welcome 10 April 2022

It is good to give thanks
to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your
steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night, to the music of
the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. For you, O LORD, have made me
glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy. How great are
your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep!

Psa 92:1-5

 

Greetings in brothers and
sisters.  It is good to sing and dance
before the Lord, as King David did (2Sam6:14), to rejoice with all your heart,
remembering all the good and wondrous things that He has done in your
life.  This is what we are made for –
worship of the Lord most High!   Join us
as we sing for joy, as we worship His Holy Name.

 

Blessings,

God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
– Numbers 23:19

God’s unchanging character to the Christian, means we can
have comfort. A.W. Pink Writes

Human nature cannot be relied upon; but God can! However
unstable I may be, however fickle my friends may prove, God changes not. If He
varied as we do, if He willed one thing today and another tomorrow, if He were
controlled by caprice, who could confide in Him? But, all praise to His glorious
name, He is ever the same. His Purpose is fixed, His will is stable, His word
is sure. Here then is a rock on which we may fix our feet, while the mighty
torrent is sweeping away everything around us. The permanence of God’s character
guarantees the fulfilment of His promises.

Take comfort and be encouraged. God is unchanging in His promise
in Jesus Christ. In this we rejoice.

In Christ Alone

As we gather together, we are able to stand confident and firm in our God. Not because of any promise or words of man, but by the promises of God. Knowing that God is true and unchangeable, we NEVER have to worry that He will turn back on what He has promised. Our God wants us to have full confidence and hope in Jesus Christ.
So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us” – Hebrews 6:17-18
By Grace through faith in the promise of Christ, we can stand confident of our salvation. Let us rejoice today in our unchanging God.

“All this he made clear to me in writing from the hand
of the LORD, all the work to be done according to the plan.” Then David said to
Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do
not be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave
you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD
is finished.

1Ch 28:19-20

 

Greetings fellow Saints of the Lord most High.  We will do well to remember the words of King
David to his son Solomon at the end of his life – Be strong and
courageous!  We too are entering into a
new era at KBC and we need to be strong and courageous, knowing that our Lord
God is with us, and shall not leave us nor forsake us until all His work, His plans for
KBC are finished.

Israel
was constantly oppressed by many world superpowers like the Babylonian empire. In
Chapter 46:8-11, Isaiah foretells that the enemy will fall. Isaiah also appeals
to God’s people:

 

“Remember
this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, remember the former
things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none
like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things
not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my
purpose”.

 

God
eventually uses the Medes and the Persians to bring an end to the enemy and
their oppression. Israel is to remember that their God is the one true God. They
can take great comfort in knowing that all that he providentially allowed, is
to accomplish His purpose.

How
blessed we are to serve the Lord Jesus Christ, who uses all things for His
divine purpose.

 

In
Christ Alone
