exists to... Worship God. Love Others. Share Jesus.
What an absolutely awesome worship experience this past Sunday. I thank God for our youth and their leaders. Darlene Newsome is a tireless lady dedicated to furthering the Gospel of Christ within the Church of tomorrow within the Church of Today. Her husband Steve has to be an awesome person as well because of the sacrifice he must be giving in order for their ministry to accomplish all that it does.
This Sunday we will explore a much needed subject, but before I give it away...read the following:
"Employment Wanted, Former Marijuana Smuggler.
Having successfully completed a ten-year sentence, incident-free, for importing 75 tons of marijuana into the United States, I am now seeking a legal and legitimate means to support myself and family.
Business Experience
Owned and operated a successful fishing business, multi-vessel, one airplane, one island and processing facility. Simultaneously owned and operated a fleet of tractor-trailer trucks conducting business in the western United States. During this time, I also co-owned and participated in the executive level management of 120 people world-wide in a successful pot smuggling venture with revenues in excess of 100 million annually. I took responsibility for my actions and received a ten-year sentence in the United States, while others walked free for their cooperation.
Attributes
I am an expert in all levels of security. I have extensive computer skills, am personable, outgoing, well educated, reliable, clean and sober. I have spoken in schools, to thousands of kids and parent groups over the past ten years on "The consequences of choice" and received public recognition from the RCMP for community service. I am well traveled and speak English, French and Spanish. References available from friends, family, the U.S. District Attorney, etc.

I don't know about you, but I have mixed emotions when I read the ad. On one hand, he has paid his debt to society and should be given another chance. On the other hand, to be totally honest, I'm not sure if I would offer him a job if I had one available. Would you?
I hope to see each of you this coming Sunday as we explore the act of "Forgiveness."
What does it mean to extend it - What does it mean to receive it - How long will it last - How far will it go - How much will it cost - Who’s gonna pay the price??????????????????????
These are just some of the ways we will look at this subject. Before then we might do well to read a few of these scriptures.
God forgives our many sins (Psalm 65:3)
God forgives us because he loves us (Psalm 86:5)
God makes us as clean as freshly fallen snow (Isaiah 1:18)
God removes our impurities (Ezekiel 36:25)
We must forgive others (Matthew 6:14-15)
Don’t keep track of how many times you forgive (Matthew 18:21-35)
Freely forgive others as God has forgiven you (Colossians 3:13)
God will forgive our sins if we confess them (1 John 1:8-9)
For the Cause of Christ,
Bro. Kenny
