Welcome to Kootenay christian Fellowship, we are glad you are here!
As a community of ordinary people, we believe something extraordinary: that God loves us as we are, has a plan to not leave us as we are, and has made a way for us to be with him, to know and experience him in our lives. This literally makes all the difference in the world. We believe that he loves each and every person, and our desire is that we might be able to serve you in knowing him more, either to introduce him to you for the first time or to fuel the fire in your ongoing journey of faith.
As a community, our vision is to be GATHERED together around Jesus, to be FILLED with his Spirit and to be SENT on the mission of the Father; to bring hope and restoration to the world around us. We would love for you to join us on the journey.
We look forward to getting to know you and please let us know how we can help.
May you experience the peace and love that he has for you.
Andrew and Rachelle Freeman (on behalf of Kootenay Christian Fellowship)
The doorway in…
The Kingdom is often SO different than we expect. Last week we took a glimpse at Jesus sharing the ‘Beatitudes’. Nothing shows how different the Kingdom is from many of our expectations than this passage.
I wanted to touch on the first one again… “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3. I can imagine the disciples, brand new followers of Jesus, with quizzical looks and nervous laughter. “Shouldn’t you have just said, “Blessed are the ‘strong’ in spirit?” That would make a lot more sense?” But Jesus starts it off right, “I declare that you are blessed if you are poor in spirit… I declare that you are blessed if you don’t have anything of your own… because these are the ones that will find they have it all… the Kingdom of Heaven.” The doorway in, is to come to Jesus with nothing to offer that can earn your way, or pay even a part of it, but who trust Jesus for it all. This is the ONLY doorway! It is not those who think they have it all together, but those who recognise how desperately poor we are without him and he is the only hope we have.
