Taking Care to Build it Right

1 Corinthians 3:9–17 | I. Take care to build right 1Cor 3:9-10 | II. Take care to build on the right foundation. 1 Cor 3:11 | III. Take care to build with the right materials. 1 Cor 3:12-15 | IV. Take care to build toward the right end, 1 Cor 3:16-17 | “Missions is not the ultimate goal of the Church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever. Worship, therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions.” -John Piper, Let the Nations Be Glad

KCC SUNDAY WORSHIP GATHERING IS MOVING
December 4th @ 2nd St. Building | 10:00AM

A little over two years ago, we started meeting at the YMCA during the early day of COVID. In our 9 years as a church, we have met at 5 locations (The Compass, Defiance College Campus, Stroede Center, Independence Dam, and the YMCA). We’re excited to announce that we now have a 6th location. And hopefully we will stay at this location a bit longer. Our currently tenure at any location is 3 years. We hope to crush that record.

So mark your calendars to join us on December 4th at our 2nd Street location (1945 E. 2nd St.). We’ll have more details to follow. Also, we will be moving out of the YMCA right after the worship gathering on November 27th. So if you can stay and help, we can get our stuff moved out of the YMCA and into the 2nd Street building in a short amount of time.

NEW CITY CATECHISM: Question 46

QUESTION: What is the Lord’s Supper?

ANSWER*: Christ commanded all Christians to eat bread and to drink from the cup in thankful remembrance of him and his death. The Lord’s Supper is a celebration of the presence of God in our midst; bringing us into communion with God and with one another; feeding and nourishing our souls. It also anticipates the day when we will eat and drink with Christ in his Father’s kingdom.

*Children’s answer is the bold text

OLD STORY NEW FAMILY DEVOTIONAL: 69

WEEKLY FIGHTER VERSE: Romans 3:23-24

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

NEXT SUNDAY’S SERMON TEXT: 1 Cor 3:18-4:7

WE WOULD LOVE TO PRAY FOR YOU

We would love to pray for you! Some people think that only major crises of life are worth praying for, but the truth is that everyone needs prayer for something. James 4:2 says that we do not have because we do not ask, and when we do we often have false or impure motives. So the first step is to ask. So please come and let us pray for you in person at our Sunday worship gathering. Or, if you would like prayer now, just click the button below and fill out the form and we will pray for you.

BIBLICAL COUNSELING at KCC

Life is full of things to be discouraged about, and it can be overwhelming. We believe that Jesus offers real help, hope, and healing in the difficulties of life. We believe that the power of God’s Word and Spirit offers hope of life change from the inside out. So we offer biblical counseling to those needing the comfort and wisdom of Scripture. While we believe God can work through various methods of counseling, our lead counselors are certified through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC). We also have pastors and other counselors who have received training from Faith Biblical Counseling, and are able and willing to counsel according to the Scriptures.

If you would like to explore meeting with one of our counselors, please fill out the contact form by clicking on the button below and we will try to match you with someone.
