We were reminded in last Sunday’s sermon that trials are an opportunity for joy and growth in the Christian life. One of the most counter-cultural claims in the Christian faith is that believers can have joy in their suffering because God uses trials to make us more like Him. What if God’s greatest blessing come through trials? Of course, pain and suffering are not good in and of themselves. Rather, we are to take joy in trials not because of how much they hurt but because of what it produces in us: godly character. Let us continually fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who makes it possible for us to have joy and know that suffering in this life will not last forever. One day we will be rejoicing with Jesus in heaven. Until then, we look forward to that glorious day!

If you originally signed up for a t-shirt, we have them reserved for you. But we also have extras. So if you would like a KCC t-shirt, we have them available for $10 @ the Commons.

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 counselor is 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.

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.
